HB plays JSB on HB3

by Hugh Banton

supported by

Frank Hadlich Passacaglia is one of the loveliest works of mighty JSB. While I adore HB's playing and his wonderful digital instrument as well, I admit that this record is jaw dropping for me. Favorite track: Passacaglia & Fugue in Cminor BWV582.

katok There is love in this work. It is just simply beautiful.

P.S. Beware, HB clearly has the objective of destroying your house with infrasound ^^ Favorite track: Passacaglia & Fugue in Cminor BWV582.

Oleg Koretsky Amazing sound of the organ, great performance. l would never guess that HB3 is a software organ unless I read about it on sofasound! Favorite track: Passacaglia & Fugue in Cminor BWV582.

mikayel_abazyan My friend and Soundman's jaws dropped when he listened to some of these tracks, and his eyes opened wide when I told him that SW organ synthesiser does not use any sampling techniques or recordings of actual pipes.
"What a reverb! What a purity! Oh, and those low-ends! Now, THIS is a work of utmost professionalism. Amazing!"

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
