REQUEST: Hunting for UW Live Temptation Alexandra Palace NYE 1998 source recordings

[WhiteNoise]

For a moment the jam is "Synth Attack", just a nickname for those fast bright chords which they played more than a few times in 98/99. Not as long as usual, most of it is just beat improv.

[Badger]

Is it worth labelling it as that and track marking it? Or just leave it as Skyscraper?

[WhiteNoise]

I probably wouldn't label it and definitely not index it. It's so short.

[Yannick]

if I remember correctly the complete show source was from a cd-r I got from the bbc archive

[Badger]

Yannick is that the mono low quality one? Just because that was the way it was recorded?

yeah that was the one, I guess it was a mishap on their side. I dont have the cd anymore tho, been lost in all my random move and escape.

Thats cool Yannick...Mike was able to give me a copy and we've used it as a MASTER GUIDELINE for my editing in the timeline and also for the little missing bits off of Skyscraper at the start and the full start of Rez. Added some ambience from a reverb plug to make it sound a little more stereo and then layered crowd underneath.

Always was annoyed that no broadcast ever played the full version of Rez.

Here is a little preview of full "Rez"...its not the final final version but it might give you an idea of what we've done...
Let me know what you think so far...although it's only a little taste of whats coming.

That is rather lovely!

I find that crowd noise has been the best determiner of how a set is gonna sound in comparison to other sets from a fidelity point of view, and from the moment I hit play there was a HUGE difference. Good work! Can't wait to hear the whole thing!
