Reviews: Consequence of Sound, I Care if You Listen.
Bootleg: On dimeadozen, there is a torrent for a 472 MB recording that also includes Anonymous 4's set. Notes by the taper Haunted Organ:
Source: Olympus LS-5 (built-in mics, 16/44.1 WAVE) > Cool Edit 2000 (normalization, file split) > FLAC Frontend (FLAC level 6)
Location: Balcony, front row, left side
Sorry about variating audio levels. The actual music was recorded at a pretty good level, whilst the clapping was almost always too loud. Also, some of the stage banter was spoken off mics, so it is very quiet. I tried to do some normalizing, but I wasn't happy with the results so in the end I just left it as it was recorded. If somebody wants to go ahead and try to enhance the recording, be my guest. |
