Daniel Patrevito and The Life in a Day
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
Daniel Patrevito and The Life in a Day One of the great joys that Iâve experienced in my career is meeting musicians, getting to know them through working together and then seeing their projects come to fruition. This album by Daniel Patrevito is one such project. Dan and I met through my old instrument repair/modification business in Chicago. He has a genuine character to him. Sweet, interested, and motivated by his art. He has always given his all (and often times, more) to his passion. The ârevealâ came to me years after I had known him as a fixture in...

Proper Playback demands Proper Setup For proper LP playback, setup is everything! The Vertical Tracking Angle, or âVTAâ, is of critical importance to tonal balance.

Fun to listen to, solid grooves, great tones, and song writing. The album itself is a well-recorded and mastered double album on 180g vinyl. Even if Modest Mouses' earlier albums didnât turn you on, itâs certainly worth giving this one a shot.
