Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday!!!

Something a bit different this week. If you haven’t seen this, you really need to check out Delta Lab, a studio in Copenhagen. Imagine, if you will, a coke dealer in the mid 70s. Imagine that coke dealer spending his hard-earned money on a recording studio. The image you get in your mind’s eye would be an accurate description of Delta Lab.

From the c. 72 Neve console to the Farfisa Red Line to the Ludwig Vistalite drum set, this place screams Mod Squad. (And if you’re too young to get the reference, well, more’s the pity.) Check the gallery for the outstanding live room, which is to black and white what the control room is to red and orange. Let’s get this straight from the git-go: Delta Lab is no Chung King Gold Room. But it makes up in vibe what it lacks in gear. I, for one, would be happy doing an album there.
