Vangelis is also accompanied by drums and various chinese instruments. Total time : 1:58:06 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The gig promotes album China that was released in the following year. This is so called Recorder 2, since this gig was independently recorded by at least 2 people. The other recording - so called Recorder 1 sounds much cleaner, well balanced and more stereo although a bit distant. It was also slightely compressed (audible) during the trasfer on the guy's MD - he rescued the recording from his mastertape after 10 years. Another boot from this gig called "Sensitivity Plus Alpha" released by the highly notorious company Highland comes from Recorder 2 but is horribly denoised. The spinning, artifact sound of the denoising destroys the whole gig. Indeed, trebles are filtered out. This title is also incomplete, and most of the cracks are wrongly named on purpose. I got this title in trade some years ago as 2CDs where one unsplit track was on each CD. I have done following: - ripped both CDs with EAC in secure mode (log files attached) - made a cue sheet for splitting tracks (by hand) - splitted tracks in EAC - encoded to FLAC DO NOT REMASTER THIS TITLE DO NOT ENCODE IT TO MP3 FEEL FRE TO SHARE IT BUT KEEP ALL THE FILES ATTACHED DO NOT SELL IT !!!
