More than three decades after its inception, the Mandoki Soulmates band, led by founder Leslie Mandoki, has not only set breakthrough musical standards with their new album “A Memory Of Our Future,” but has also delivered a masterpiece of audio production technology: an entire album recorded and produced in the analog domain—from first note to finished vinyl. Needless to say, the production of an 80-minute concept album is a rare undertaking in today’s musical landscape. On top of that, the purely analog signal processing used throughout, from microphone to mixing and mastering, to vinyl lacquer cutting, makes “A Memory Of Our Future” a manifesto of precision and passion that can be felt in every note of this magnum opus.
