TAPER'S WISHES: DO NOT SHARE LOSSLESS !!!
BIGGIRL NOTES:
One8ung kindly offered his recording of Amsterdam
for a "remaster for iPOD," possibly patched with the
anonymous "hockey puck" recording for the issues
mentioned above.
The One8ung recording is at least far more clear and
consistent than the "hockey puck" but does suffer a
little from the unfavourable recording position with
regard to the place of the speakers. It's also a bit
"clappy" but not really annoying in my opinion; in fact
I kinda like the more lively 'ambiance' that one8ung's
recording brings.
The patch with anonymous' recording starts with a
full fade between Elevation and Volcano - this, btw,
also allows for cd burning if one wishes to that.
The patch ends with a so-called splice (no fades)
between October and BTBS, such that it is also possible
to play the (omitted) One8ung tracks seamlessly
(or, in other words, to skip the patch altogether if
One8ung decides to lift the embargo on the lossless
recording) - to be sure, I write these things down
so I can read back what I did must I visit this file
after so many years (hence it's called "BG's notes!)
Anyway, Overall I think this is "share" a substantial
upgrade, especially if you don't mind its mp3 nature
(which btw , according to scientists, is more environment
friendly than lossless when the downloading of the files
is concerned – this has to do with the energy + water
consumption of the various datacenters: the larger the file,
the higher the energy + water consumption*).
*see Sustainability 2015, 7(8), 11260-11284
- ALL tracks run seamlessly, except when fades are used.
- the volume OF the CAR-BOMB explosion at the end of SBS
is LOWERED to protect your ears (and gears!) - as in ALL
BIGGIRL's #remasters4ipod :)
BIG thanks to ONE8UNG for allowing me to use his recording!
and SPECIAL THANKS to u2start & the anonymous recorder!
enJOY...!
