    TAPER'S WISHES: DO NOT SHARE LOSSLESS !!!


    BIGGIRL NOTES:
    One8ung kindly offered his recording of Amsterdam
    for a "remaster for iPOD," possibly patched with the
    anonymous "hockey puck" recording for the issues
    mentioned above.
    The One8ung recording is at least far more clear and
    consistent than the "hockey puck" but does suffer a
    little from the unfavourable recording position with
    regard to the place of the speakers. It's also a bit
    "clappy" but not really annoying in my opinion; in fact
    I kinda like the more lively 'ambiance' that one8ung's
    recording brings.

    The patch with anonymous' recording starts with a
    full fade between Elevation and Volcano - this, btw,
    also allows for cd burning if one wishes to that.
    The patch ends with a so-called splice (no fades)
    between October and BTBS, such that it is also possible
    to play the (omitted) One8ung tracks seamlessly
    (or, in other words, to skip the patch altogether if
    One8ung decides to lift the embargo on the lossless
    recording) - to be sure, I write these things down
    so I can read back what I did must I visit this file
    after so many years (hence it's called "BG notes!)

    Anyway, Overall I think this "share" is a substantial
    upgrade, especially if you don't mind its mp3 nature
    (which btw , according to scientists, is more environment
    friendly than lossless when the downloading of the files
    is concerned – this has to do with the energy + water
    consumption of the various datacenters: the larger the file,
    the higher the energy + water consumption of the datacenter* ).

    *see Sustainability 2015, 7(8), 11260-11284.

    - ALL tracks run seamlessly, except when fades are used.
    - the volume of the CAR-BOMB explosion at the end of SBS
    is LOWERED to protect your ears (and gears!) - as in ALL
    BIGGIRL's #remasters4ipod


    BIG thanks to ONE8UNG for allowing me to use his recording!
    and SPECIAL THANKS to u2start & the anonymous recorder!

    enJOY...!
