Vytas Brenner - Morrocoy (original LP - Excerpt) Stereo

[randyypan]

Did you sell your copy of La Ofrenda De Vytas?

[xfjk2]

I want this LP 

[19Spencer80]

Finally found a copy on eBay! Yeah.

[ducati0000]

I own the VPI TNT....love this table.....

[randyypan]

Did you add LEDs under the platter for the glowing effect?

[crooner2007]

@randyypan a single super bright LED was installed in an aluminum enclosure right behind the platter. Hard to see it in the pic. Since the platter is translucent acrylic the effect is very nice. The more recent version of this turntable has a steel platter so adding a LED is no longer viable.

[KellanE05]

how much was your turntable ???

[crooner2007]

@KellanE05 $1800 for the turntable. $800 for the cartridge. The maple butcher block base was $50. Cables were $200.

[KellanE05]

@crooner2007 and do you get a HQ sound from it ..so is it worth the money ??

[crooner2007]

@KellanE05 Absolutely!

If I were buying a VPI table today, I'd consider the Classic model instead. I think it blends better with my vintage Marantz electronics.

Actually, a used Thorens TD-124 would be nice also.

Greetings!

[LowRider1500]

GRACIAS BRENNER POR EL LEGADO QUE HAS DEJADO A NUESTRA PATRIA .

[adrilagata]

Hola yo tengo un Cd que compre haces unos años no sé si tendrá errores que se llama OFRENDA de Vytas Brener, em éste el tema de Morrocoy es el número uno, este disco tiene solo 8 canciones según dice el mismo el original fué publicado en 1973 por Suramericana del disco y ésta copia (por así decirlo) fué editada en 1999 por Anes Records, habría que comparar el vinilo y el cd a ver

[adrilagata]

Disculpa pero esta canción o pieza que pusiste aqui no es Morrocoy me imagino que quisiste expresar que era el nombre del disco muy bonita la locación

[crooner2007]

@adrilagata podrias dar mas detalles del nombre de la pieza? Desafortunadamente el disco original de vinilo y el CD tienen errores en la secuencia de los temas. Los nombres no coinciden.

Siempre pense que la pieza era morrocoy, sin embargo. Tengo entendido que Vytas lanzo el tema como sencillo (45) antes del lanzamiento del LP. Y que el tema se utilizo en cortometrajes para el cine.

[crooner2007]

@crooner2007 Se me olvidaba mencionar que el nombre del album es "La Ofrenda De Vytas" lanzado en 1973.

[jgimenez50]

el video te quedo del carajo!!!!.... si reparo el "pick-up" de mi papa me copio la idea jejeje saludos, recuerdo el concierto que me vacile en el Teatro Juarez de Barquisimeto en el año milnovecientosyanimeacuerdo...­.

[Xynort]

Hace mas de 30 años escuché musica del maestro Brennes, y nunca pude encontrar nada. Hoy para mi sorpresa le encontré. Gracias por subir esta joya.

[mrhoffame]

Geez people...Can you now see why people like us won't just settle for clicking a mouse and downloading a song? This set up is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[randycornhole]

I could gaze at that platter for ages. Crazy artwork as well...

[2fastdsm]

good stuff man!

[Alank950]

Hi, i have a Vpi Scout and would love to add the blue light.Did you mount it into that small box that is sitting just behind the platter on the table itself....LOOKS COOL.

[konzertante]

EXELENTEEEEEEEEE

[Cotdail]

[crooner2007]

Thank you very much for the kind words. Glad the video is enjoyable to you. Take Care!

[hipofalcon]

Wow - great table! Interesting music - reminds me a little of Mannheim Steamroller. Thanks for posting this - Ken.

[crooner2007]

you are most welcome!

[mlovesdogs412]

beautiful turntable

[crooner2007]

Thank you!

[Diamando21]

La genialidad y la excelencia son atemporales. Venezuela respira con la musica de Vytas, por siempre !

[Eliasasmodeo]

Hoy 19 de septiembre es el cumpleaños del maestro Vytas Brenner qepd, pongamos en su honor la musica que el creó con ritmos venezolanos y sonidos futuristas.......Que la Fuerza te acompañe¡¡¡¡¡¡

[davidaud777]

nice

[ioneking]

I'm so jealous of your jazz set up i know you enjoy it alot, and what a nice turntable wish i could afford something like that by the way how much did it cost you?

[crooner2007]

Thank you. Because of the summer heat, I haven't been able to enjoy it that often. But hopefully that will change very soon! The turntable cost me $1800 plus $800 for the Dynavector cartridge. Not including the maple wood base, the acrylic dust cover and other accessories.

[ioneking]

very, very nice indeed!!!!!

[19Spencer80]

His LPs will set you back when you find them on ebay...does anyone know if they rereleased this on vinyl???I know they did on cd.

[crooner2007]

As far as I know, there haven't been any reissues on vinyl. Only on CD. The 1999 CD remaster sounds good but inferior to the original vinyl. I'm guessing they didn't use the original master tapes. A shame.

[joncosm]

Vytas era un genio musical: de lo mejor de Venezuela!!!!

[sthsbisthe]

Extremely beautiful & comfortable sound. And this incredibly beautiful blue light of the turntable. I read its LED. I want to know you made this LED system by yourself or bought it from some shop as an option or some? Sorry for bothering you. Anyway excellent video!

[crooner2007]

I made it myself. It's a regular blue high intensity LED installed in a brushed aluminum black project box. The LED is powered by a DC adapter that goes on at the same time the turntable motor is powered. Thanks for the kind comments regarding my video!

[sthsbisthe]

Thank you for your information. Now I'm seeking an analog player, and I think this VPI Aries Scout is one of the best players I can get in my country. I'm lucky I could find this video!

[crooner2007]

Yes, the VPI Aries Scout is excellent. New version does not have a translucent acrylic platter, however. It is now cast metal. The LED won't shine through it. So to let you know...

Kind Regards,

[sthsbisthe]

Omg, thank you for your further information immediately, I'm so surprised!

I don't buy new version, of course, maybe I can get an original one in Japan. Our country's importer is Esoteric, I found in their web site. Thanks a lot, Mr.crooner2007. You are so kind.

[19Spencer80]

"La Ofrenda De Vytas"

The offering of Vytas (?)

Check out his bio

[crooner2007]

The original LP was titled "La Ofrenda De Vytas". Which translates roughly to "The Offering of Vytas" so that's right. His working band was soon named "Ofrenda" as well.

The 1999 CD reissue changed the title slightly to "La Ofrenda De Vytas Brenner". In both issues the song order is wrong unfortunately.

[19Spencer80]

Thanks. Ive looked for the vinyl for a while and cant track it down...maybe someday.

[malawri67]

great music!

where are they from?

I want to purchase this album!

[crooner2007]

The band is from Venezuela. Vytas was German but raised in Venezuela. The band is no longer together. Mr. Brenner passed away in 2004. Check eBay for used albums. The CDs from 1999 can still be found.

[malawri67]

Thanks a lot for the infos!

I did some research and found out there are many albums out.I will definately go for the one played in this video.And the cover is so cool!

[modmadmike2]

Youtube makes it sound horrible though lol

[crooner2007]

Well, unfortunately there's lossy compression going on. However, if you use the HQ. High Quality option you can obtain quite decent audio.

[jdservicessystems]

Esto es una belleza... Vytas es alimento para el alma... Lástima que hoy en dia no existan estos genios

[Islwynpaul]

Lovely turntable, great stereo sound, interesting music, fine video - well done. Thanks for this.

[crooner2007]

You are most welcome!

[ludwig222]

O.K. The obvious Question ...

What / where is the Blue light from ?

[crooner2007]

It's a LED inside a box that reflects into the translucent acrylic platter.

[nantronicaven]

I want to buy any Vytas Brener recorded.

[elaguilayeloso]

Excelente pieza de un excelente músico alemán-venezolano. Como siempre, la música venezolana es indiscutible. Si no creen, entonces vean a otros músicos como Aldemaro Romero, Antonio Lauro, Alirio Díaz, Simón Díaz, Ensamble Gurrufío, Onkora y pare usted de contar. Venezuela es lo mejor.

[crooner2007]

Totalmente de acuerdo amigo y Feliz Navidad!

[turba1]

Yo todavia conservo my Technics comprado en Japon en el año 77, toda una joya !!!!!

[crooner2007]

Sera el modelo SP-10 por casualidad?

[turba1]

No, es un MK1200

[double531]

Cheers Crooner,use a Dynavector myself on an Audio Origami modded Rega RB300,looking at decks myself at the mo',torn between the VPI and the Michell Gyro SE.

[crooner2007]

Both are great tables, and have their strong defenders. The VPI is controversial because of the unipivot and lack of a standard antiskating mechanism. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once properly setup it performs superbly!. Good luck and let me know what you ended up getting!

[double531]

Crooner,that a basic Scout with the 9 arm??What cart.are you using??

[crooner2007]

It's the basic Scout yes. The cart is a medium output Benz Micro Glider. I believe VPI recommends Dynavectors, but the Glider does match very well with it.

Right now, I'm due for a retip. Given the generous exchange discount given by Benz, I think I'll stick with the brand for my next cartridge!

[apppleofeye]

MAN ,NICE TABLE ,but why do these high end TT manufacuers use belt drive systems?Direct drive is more accurate,and a person who works in a studio told me the same thing.Belt drives color the sound and direct drives tend to give a more accurate sound of the master.Everybody has their opinions.Nice setup

[crooner2007]

Thanks for your comments!

The tooling for direct drive is much more expensive and the Japanese companies had the cash in the 1970s for R&D.

Smaller American companies today don't have these resources.

I agree that Direct Drive done right is excellent. Idler drive such as in the Thorens TD-124 and Garrard 301 can rival belt and direct drive in performance.

[kerlygm]

Thanks,Crooner2007 for this video. It is a treat. By the way, do you have music by a Caracas'group called Speranto. Its music was similar to Vytas';and it was around in the 70s and early 80s. I like a piece called Vereda Tropical. If you have any thing by this group I will be graceful to you if you upload it. Thank you again for sharing your music treasure.

[crooner2007]

No, I don't but thanks for the heads up. I shall research it and will post a video if I find something.

Thanks for your comments!

[thebassauthority]

sorry about below-i was just testing the comments because it wouldnt got through. just wanted to say that I really love this music and how it sounds on the turntable. I listen to this clip a lot and I am definitely looking into buying a scout. I was wondering if you could possibly send me the audio or video uncompressed. I would really appreciate it. I'd also love to know more about your setup/cartridge and the blue mod. -Eric

[crooner2007]

Hi Eric,

Sure, I can send you an uncompressed file. Shoot me a Private Message. The Scout is really nice and I'm sure you'll love it.

[frankcerra]

Wow, VPI is a great turntable!

[mdmanow]

Que tocadiscos tan arrecho tienes.

que marca es?

J.

[crooner2007]

Es un VPI Scout. Puedes ver toda linea de tocadiscos en la pagina web de VPI Industries (usa google). Gracias por el comentario!

[crooner2007]

Caray que nota!

Yo consegui el disco de Aldemaro que salio inmediatamente despues llamado "Venezuelan Fiesta" tambien de RCA victor. 1 dolar en el Goodwill store aqui en San Diego!!!

[crooner2007]

Los tocadiscos japoneses de esa epoca son excelentes. El Sansui SR-838 lo tuve antes que el VPI. Tremendo tocadiscos!

[venezuelaplc]

adoro esta interpretacion de vytas!

me encanta el turntable! nunca vi un modelo asi y el cuadro de la portada de odrenda! wow!

saludos desde maturin

[crooner2007]

Es lo mejor que hay hermano. Como dicen por ahi, eramos felices y no lo sabiamos!

El mejor LP de rock progresivo de todos los tiempos hecho en Venezuela!

El tocadisco es un VPI Scout que compre nuevo en el 2006.

Gracias por el video response!

[venezuelaplc]

ese refran lo uso yo mucho! "CUANDO ERAMOS FELICES Y NO LO SABIAMOS" nadie jamas hara un rock progresivo tan original como el de Vytas Brenner! desde muy temp´rana edad lo he escuchado y tengo sus Long Play, me siven para meditar, drenar! y recordar! em gustan todos sus temas pero frailejon,morrocoy, avila y caracas para locos son mis temas favoritos!

saludos desde maturin

[venezuelaplc]

disculpa VPI Scout lo conseguiste en venezuela?

[crooner2007]

No, lo tengo aqui en San Diego, California donde vivo. No se si se conseguira por aquellos lares.

Si viviera en Venezuela trataria de conseguir un Thorens TD124 o de repente un Kenwood de la serie L-07D (que se parece mucho al Scout).

Maturin me encanta. Tengo familia por alla, una tia y varios primos!

Saludos cordiales.

[venezuelaplc]

bueno yo tengo uno que lanzo hitachi en 1978 pero el modelo se ve muy arcaico! tengo muchos acetatos y siempre lo uso y mantengo en muy buen estado

[iabhornc]

Sabe usted si la musica de Vytas Brenner esta disponible en CD?

[crooner2007]

Esta disponible en CD. Yo compre un par de CDs en Kinesis. Amazon y eBay tambien son opciones. Buena Suerte!
