Subject: Best Recording Ever.
Seriously, this is a piece of artwork. In my opinion it is by far the best live recording of Animal Collective.

With the spectogram in foobar you can see the superior quality of this recording, people's screams are seen as distinct curves at the appropriate frequencies, set apart from the rest of the noise flooding the mics.

So so good.

Notes: Animal Collective at Lux, my first time seeing them. First of all, what a ridiculous excuse for a venue they played in. A dark, claustrophobic, bassy cave, with air conditioner from hell to detract you from enjoying the show, making you wish you were outside instead (and it was pouring that night). I had the AC unit right above my head, so this recording has an unusually high noise floor, easily masked by the *painfully loud* P.A. levels during the songs, courtesy of the sound tech for the evening, which I will refer to as "The Butcher". I forgot my earplugs for the evening, leaving me with a buzz in my ears for a couple of days after the show. The recording itself is awesome. This is a perfect example of the potential a audience recording has, if the crowd can STFU throughout the whole show. Everybody seemed to hate the show... to a portuguese crowd, it's all about "artist interaction", "abrigados", and portuguese flag-waving, while music is a simple accessory. I've enjoyed it, even though I was starting to get very uncomfortable at the end, thanks to "The Butcher". They also played one brand new song, adding bonus "awesome points" to the recording (track #4). Thanks to "guyanakoolai" at Dime for giving me the working title. Great stereo image, very nice sound quality, and a quiet crowd. I'm damn proud of this recording, considering the atrocious room where they played. I was clueless on most of the setlist, so I'd like to thank "thierryhenry" at ts.com, for helping filling in the gaps. "In Lux, the air conditioner doesn't blow... It sucks".
