Hope you're all doing okay. Sunny and warm here in Amsterdam, and one can feel the city bracing itself as the majority of public places reopen tomorrow, under strict rules, natch. We shall see...
"Just an awful frame of mind this week as the mild Spring melts away leaving the weak to wither and the stupid brutes to thrive.
With only a single response to my plea for help in choosing which direction to take, I was forced to go with C) Bootleg.
Backstory: for a brief time in the mid 90s, recording engineer/producer Martin Stebbing (ex Wolfhounds, ex Jazz Butcher sound/eng) was in my band, because he was amused by what we were doing and wanted a part.
This brush with greatness exposured me to his friends when they were in town: Moonshake, Stereolab, and the like. I was recording everything to DAT at this point in my life, and the following is a recording from 1996 when a band that's quite popular in Chicago flirted with performing techno in realtime with a scaled-down version of their band. Martin performed/ran sound on this, and my DAT was sucking up the soundboard.
To my knowledge, this is the only time they performed in this incarnation, and you are definitely the only people other than the 50 present at the time - to hear this. I just transferred it today.
Being (weird) mid-90s-rave music, some bits go on too long, but the concept is interesting, and the musicianship is certainly top-notch."
