Step behind the console with host David Lombardo for a special edition of Behind the Glass. This session explores the studio genius of legendary producer Trevor Horn, culminating in a full high-fidelity playback of Yes’ multi-platinum 1983 masterpiece, 90125, on our reference-grade stereo system.
Before dropping the needle on the album, David Lombardo will take you on an immersive journey through Trevor Horn's revolutionary impact on the landscape of 1980s pop and rock. Known as "the man who invented the eighties," Horn utilized cutting-edge sampling technology, pristine digital sequencing, and aggressive sonic textures to reshape the era's sound. We'll examine how his meticulous, boundary-pushing production techniques completely revitalized the pioneering progressive rock band Yes, transforming them into a sleek, modern chart-topping juggernaut.
When we transition to the full album playback of 90125, our world-class listening space will truly showcase Horn's sonic architecture. The explosive, iconic drum intro of "Owner of a Lonely Heart," the razor-sharp guitar edits of Trevor Rabin, and the crystalline vocal harmonies of Jon Anderson are rendered with breathtaking dynamic contrast and a massive, cinematic soundstage. Grab a beverage from the bar, settle in, and experience the bold, hyper-polished perfection of this production masterclass.
As an extra treat for his audience, David will be giving away a copy of the feature album, 90125!!
It's not just the bands and artists that make your favorite music. Each month KC record collector and record store personality David Lombardo takes you Behind the Glass to the other side of the studio, focusing on a different Music Producer or Engineer. David will share stories, anecdotes, trivia, and of course, the RECORDS they have helped bring to life!
