Radio Recording from very low generation cassette
Best version of this recording I've heard so far.

Changes made (Nero 7):
-------------------------
Cross-mixed all tracks (84:16), big improvement in instrument dynamics & stereo image
Reduced left channel by 5-10% to centre stereo balance
Evened volume on all tracks
Cut the glitch at the beginning of each track
Cross-faded all tracks by 1sec to smooth track transitions
Fixed 200+ small digi-glitches, similar to vinyl clicks, mainly in d2tr01 & 02
Note: the hiss in the background appears to be from an amp, so I didn't do anything to correct it
Quality: Got to be an EX, definitely CD quality
---------------------------------------------------
Dedicated to 'hanwaker' who pleaded for me NOT to post this, LOL...!!
This is a quite superb recording by Radio Bremen,although it sounds like there has been
some 'stereo broadening' at some stage (as often appears the case) which blurs the
dynamic impact of the drums and bass, so I fixed that plus I did some other editing
(details above).
The major plus for me is just how fantastically Vander's drum kit is recorded, even to
the extent that you can hear (on really good headphones anyway) the different places
hit by the two drumsticks on the same cowbell (on Ptah) - possibly the best percussion
recording I've heard anywhere !! For the first time ever I "get" what Vander is doing
on Ptah.
The whole recording is also truly great so please....
Grab and Enjoy !!
