24bit/88.2kHz re-mastering from original analog tapes using ADC Prism Sound AD2 Dream and analog console Neve 88, made at Velut Luna Studios, Casalserugo, Italy on November, 8, 2018


Production: VELUT LUNA
Musical producers: Massimo Salvagnini, Paolo Birro

The duo album, partly recorded in private homes and partly in a large empty auditorium, offers a unique timbral opening to the music with its reverberation and testifies to the extraordinary result of the meeting of the two musicians, between jazz atmospheres and brilliant improvisations in a romantic, but not gloomy, atmosphere. Velut Luna's debut work, dedicated to the Romanian philosopher and writer Radu Lidijenko.

Tracks 1 - 8:
recorded in a little rehearsal room at Paolo Birro’s home in Montagnana, Italy, on February, 21, 1995 using a Yamaha C3 Piano and analog recording set up: Revox PR99 with Maxell UD Master Tape 1/4” 38cm/sec - O.T.L. 2ch Mic Preamp 1, custom built for Velut Luna by Riccardo Ceolin - AKG C535B microphones, XY stereo pair
Tracks 9 - 17:
recorded at Auditorium Pollini, Padova, Italy, on March, 21, 1995, using a Steinway & Sons D274 Concert Grandpiano and analog recording set up: Revox PR99 with Maxell UD Master Tape 1/4” 38cm/sec - Millennia Media HV-3C, 2ch mic preamp - Sennheiser MKH-20 microphones, A-B stereo pair.

Lidjienko Smile is very similar to Scrooge McDuck's legendary "Number One"...
A precious, fundamental, essential album and an authentic icon of Velut Luna. Just as over the years Massimo Salvagnini has become the quintessential symbolic artist of my Velut Luna. With this remastering work, absolutely respectful of the unprecedented original analog recordings, I intend to shed new light on these musical pieces, which were released in 1995 based on the digital recordings then made in the simple 16bit/44.1kHz format of the Tascam DA20 DAT used for parallel recording with the analog Revox recorder.

Beautiful, but doesn’t last
Color: 9910: All black
It’s beautiful, but does not last. Purchased as a gift for my husband and it stopped working altogether and wasn’t able to be wound after a few weeks. We returned it. He really missed having it so we ordered a new one, hoping to have better luck. This one lasted a few months but the needle for then”Day of the week” has since fallen off today. Very disappointing.

Compared to g-shock?
Color: Black/Yellow
Firstly random public reviews can be comical…”it’s has a battery, terrible, One star” or “I don’t like yellow, one star” omg peoples do better. I’ll review this while comparing to an older style of g-shock from the same era. I’ll start by saying this timex rocks, for me in my mid 50’s it’s so retro and nastalgic, brings back memories, I may have even owned this model back in the day. What’s great about it- the display, larger digits than the typical g-shock and they are super crisp, clear and easy to read. The indiglo is awesome. This is the most accurate quartz watch I have aside from the atomic g-shocks that adjust themselves daily. I prefer a chunky watch and the g-shocks do a better job in that department. i feel this watch is rugged, but I’d still give the nod to g-shock in this department. 200M water resistance is the gold standard and this watch has it which I love for peace of mind for any water based activities. This is a 5 star watch at a great price. I still love some aspects of a g-shock better but its just preference.

Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality
Color: Black/Yellow
I'm not a Timex fanboy, and I've had my fair share of problems with the Expedition line, so this review is my honest opinion as a man who's worn Armitrons and Timexes since I was 10. I remember in 1992 when the Timex Ironman Triathlon with Indiglo was first launched - My older brother got one, then me and my neighbor friends. Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality. Even Bill Clinton was rock'n this watch, for those who don't remember. Quite simply, this is the perfect watch at a great price, in my opinion. Perfect as a gift for any man, and I think the original black/olive drab/yellow coloration is still the coolest. In this day and age of smartphones, it still pays to have this watch. The alarm is less annoying sounding than a cellphone, and doesn't wake up the entire house. To turn it off, just tap the watch, no more reaching for the phone or alarm clock. Timer comes in handy for anything; timing my kids' timeouts when they get in trouble, 15 minutes room clean-up times, etc. Chrono is fun for anything you wanna use a stop-watch for. I set the second time zone for Vietnam time. It really is a million times easier to use this watch for all of its functions than reaching for a smartphone or alarm clock, etc. If you;ve been relying on your phone for a few years as a watch/chronograph/timer/alarm - you'll be so glad you finally got a watch like this. I've never tried a smart-watch, however I feel those are not as necessary,durable or practical as a real watch. Other Timex watches I've used were freakin' trash - couldn't throw em away fast enough. Might as well open the box while holding it over a trash can, so the watch can fall right in when you open the box. That's my experience with the Expedition line-up. Back to this watch: The only thing I wish this watch could do is measure activity thermogenesis (calories expended throught the day) or work as a pedometer, which some smart-watches and other devices can do. I also cannott decide if I like this new, slightly larger, heavier/thicker design of the Ironman Triathlon over the 1990s design. The 90s models styling was "tight to death'. Star-split buttons were seperated. The mode button was yellow. Overall more compact and bi-cultural;by that I mean it looked great as an athletic watch or a politician, business man wathc. This new model is bigger, better ingress/shock resistance, and more of an athletic style over all, and is a little less colorful. I almost went with the G-shocks, but they still just look like crap and are waay to expensive. Sure, they have some better features, can survive WWIII, but I am a traveler. I need a watch that can work in the dark in any environment. The G-shocks are often using some kind of solar battery crap and rely on cathing a signal from an American automic clock in Colorado - good luck with that while your in Thailand on vacation.
