[Heeplist] My Outsider review for In Rock magazine (R ussia)

[Igor Shveitser]

 Hello, Martin,
That is true but only for Heep, with Hartley he never stood out, just played solidly. As I said earlier, his was a different band with more melodic approach to songs - which were, as you said, sublime themselves. Plus, modern recording technologies make bassists sound significantly less definite (for the customer) - at least, 16 bit/44,1 kHz CD resolution surely kills a lot of bass lines details in the first place.
Cheers, Igor

>>  I can share this observation partially and add that the band since Conquest had some albums with obviously non-heepy bass (all of them until 1995 in fact) and Into The Wild was one of them. This time Heep bass is definitely back.
