COMMENTS:
Over a year ago I acquired CDs of both sources of this show from Jarboe
and attempted a very lazily done matrix. I never posted it on any sites
as even then I knew it wasn't the best one could do, and it was actually
my first ever attempt at something like that. I recently saw it circulating
on some P2P places and felt like I needed to do a better job before someone
else put it on a legit ROIO site.Now with better tools and more experience I've been able to put something
together that I'm truly proud of, and hope it'll be a good way for fans
to experience the final show this band did before a very long hiatus.

The sound of the audience recording didn't need any work, it wasn't
amazing, but it was the best it could sound already. The other source
needed a lot of attention to really make this matrix shine. I'm not
exactly sure what this source is. I guess it could be a soundboard yet
the mix is so strange and inconsistent. I suspect it could be some sort
of monitor mix? After some compression the volume levels weren't all over
the place, and some simple EQ brought out the bass. There are a handful
of brief cuts on this source, but none that last for too long. I was
always dissapointed that these two sources were the only way to hear
such an important moment for this band, but combined they make a great
listen.
