First gig without Cornucopia. U lied as last song seems strange. Vortex Surfer would have been the appropriate ending, I guess!
How I understand this, it must stay in mp3 format then.
Btw by analyzing the files it would be possible to tell that they a lossy and people have done that on dime.
Vortex, I would say put them on the motortrades tracker as 256k mp3s and everybody is happy. Personally I want to hear your recording the way it is!
Here I uploaded a live version of Close Your Eyes on Megaupload. It’s from Cortemaggiore, 15.11.2002
Oh no! A trumpet! Jaga jazzist! The darkest hippie memories of the low point of mps career come back to my mind. Bizarre festival gig in 2000 something being the worst gig I have ever seen them play!
I hope it’s something different!
“Converting mp3s back to wav and then to flac does not make them lossless again!”
I think a Torrent in this way will always get bannend.
For me 256k-MP3 would be perfectly ok and we could discuss if it should be hosted at motortrades, but Dime is absolutely strict about their rules.
And let’s not start a lossless-lossy discussion here, because that is not the point.
@surftex: Good news! Thanks for recording the show!
In Hamburg during Year Zero I thought that snah has come a very long way since the earlier years. I don’t think he could have sung that song 10 years ago.
Btw. Why does he sing lead on ocean in her eye? I really like bent’s singing a lot more, usually.

10 – Ptime
11 – IALC (Actually I don’t like that one at all!)
Yeah, technically you are right, but they have recorded that song on a record, so I counted in in there!
Good show indeed! Nice audience, apart from the prick behind be who talked on his mobile phone during Sungravy! What a f***er!
Some things bugged me though. Alex describes very well how they deconstruct the songs nowadays and I don’t know if I really like that. Yesterday Snah’s noodeling sometimes was a bit too much for me – and usually I like guitar noodeling. Taking all the drive out of Songs like Hogwash and Diana (which started really groovey and hot. Really god!) doesn’t please me. If they do it on 1 or 2 Songs ok, but yesterday it was just a bit too much for me.
Second thing: Kenneth is really an animal and I like his playing a lot on most of the songs, but for example during Kill Some Day, he plays loads and loads of fills and stuff that just doesn’t belong there. I think sometimes less is more.
(Anybody remember the old Amadeus movie by Milos Forman, where Mozart asks the Kaizer if he liked his opera and the Kaizer answers something like “Well yes, but I think there are too many notes!”)
Oh and I think Kill Devil Hills should get a rest – it’s becoming the new Go To California for me!
That’s all whining on a very high level, I know
