81

One of the most popular EMG’s the 81 is the one that started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain. Traditionally used in the bridge position, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. When used in both neck and bridge positions the sound can only be described as blistering. Other recommended pairings include the classic 81/85 setup and the versatile 81/60 combo.

 

81. at-Takwir: The Cessation
1 When the sun is overthrown,
2 And when the stars fall,
3 And when the hills are moved,
4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,
5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,
6 And when the seas rise,
7 And when souls are reunited,
8 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked
9 For what sin she was slain,
10 And when the pages are laid open,
11 And when the sky is torn away,
12 And when hell is lighted,
13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,
14 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.
15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,
16 The stars which rise and set,
17 And the close of night,
18 And the breath of morning
19 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,
20 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,
21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;
22 And your comrade is not mad.
23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.
24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.
25 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.
26 Whither then go ye ?
27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,
28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.
29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

What happened in 1981?

The glamour and excitement typified by the 80s really kicks into gear in 1981. Charles and Diana marry, MTV launches and IBM releases the original 5150 IBM PC. Music and technology are changing at a rapid pace. The American hostages in Iran are finally released after 14 months of captivity, the first heart-lung transplant is performed an the first female Supreme Court Justice is appointed. Amid so much progress and change, however, there were darker moments. The first recognized cases of AIDS appear and Pope John Paul II is shot.

In music and television, Luke and Laura tie the knot on General Hospital and “Jessie’s Girl” and “Kiss on My List” dominate the airwaves. At the box office, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Chariots of Fire, Arthur, and On Golden Pond had us packing into the theaters.
