Subject: Explode.....

This is a simply masterful sound-board memoir of a concentration of sound that I'm sure is a fine art to record with an element of purity. Well done; a must for enthusiasts....

Subject: One of my favorite downloads so far!

This was my first exposure to this band and I have been converted! The beauty of Godspeed You Black Emperor! and the power of Mogwai all in one! Excellent sounding recording. VERY clean, clear and crisp. Yes, crisp.

Exellent quality.I can only try to express the beauty of this band.I have heard all of the available shows+this is the best.They can go from hearing a pin drop quiet to beating you up heaviness without touching their amps. A true mastery in dynamics+emotions to the extreme.I have something new to believe in this now shallow world of rock. Thanks A Million

Subject: Incredible Show

This is an incredibly moving show, captured in great sound quality. I almost cried in places. Their mastery of rock improv and dynamics now equals King Crimson. Download all the EITS shows, and listen to them grow. Tons of Thank you's and smoochie kisses to everyone who made these shows available.

Just a very good show. Great sound quality. Nothing more to say.

Notes

Do not sell. Do not encode to mp3 or other lossy formats.

I have chosen to make both the soundboard and matrix sources available as both have their relative merits. The soundboard source is obviously very clean from crowd noise and has a nice stereo split, but lacks much of a live feel. The matrix source provides a live feel, but also adds a pretty heavy amount of crowd noise. Which version you prefer will probably depend on personal taste. Note that the matrix source is soundboard-only for the first six minutes due to the incomplete nature of the audience recording.

Huge thanks to the band and Anton at Rescue Rooms for allowing soundboard access, and also to Rich for use of the MZ-N710, without which the matrix source wouldn't have been possible.

No thanks to Sony for burying the "Erase All" function on the MZ-N710 within a menu structure completely different to that of other MD units I've used.
