Killing Joke - The Wiltern, Los Angeles - 18.12.2010 (Flac)

Very Good sound

Original Info file:

A bit of sacrifice on best sound positioning by being front and center but I had to witness Jaz's intense facial expressions. I eq'd recording to bring up guitar and vocals that sound clearer than I remember live.
A friend further back said sound was better mixed with more guitar but I think
finished recording still conveys plenty of power.This was last date of North American tour. Youth had to leave tour for last three west coast dates
due to family matters but will return for London show. Band's guitar tech, Al Function, did a fine job filling in and his backing vocals were strong. After Happy Birthday was sung to Geordie, his cake was handed to audience who quickly
mauled it. Great performance by band but atmosphere lacking due to uncharacteristically tame gathering.
I was expecting to be smashed against stage and have a few bruises but perhaps the rain dampened enthusiasm for the many that were forced to stand outside and get soaked before being allowed to enter.The new songs are fantastically sublime, especially Ghosts of Ladbroke Grove, so be sure to buy the new album Absolute Dissent.Enjoy!

Echo & The Bunnymen - O2 Academy, Oxford - 06.12.2010 (Flac)

Excellent sound for this concert from this month. The Bunnymen play their two first albuns completely and in the disks order wich is excellent. Thanks to the taper for sharing his wonderful recording!

Original info file:

Recorded and mastered by Pike1957:
Slightly left of centre (in front of Will), one row back from barrier
Church AUdio CA-11C Cardioids ->
Church Audio ST-9000 Preamp ->
Sony PCM-M10 (48khz, 24 bit) ->
Adobe Audion 3.0 (VOlume adjustments) ->
Audacity (track splits, resampling) ->
FLAC (level 8, 44.1khz, 16bit)

The sound at this gig was probably the best I've heard anywhere, and
I think that is pretty much captured in this recording. The band were
on fine form and played their first two albums in their entirety, plus
a few favourites for the encore. I cut out seven minutes of applause
when the band was offstage before the encore, a) because that's too long
to sit through, and b) there was recorded music played throughout.

Nitzer Ebb - The Echoplex, Los Angeles - 09.11.2010 (Flac)

Excellent recording proving that Nitzer Ebb are in top form! thanks to mixter_ for sharing his recording. I couldn´t find an image of the concert poster so I used the poster from the next concert on the american tour, wich was really cool.

Original info file:

after seeing three recoil show over the previous 2 weeks, i couldn't help but wonder how they might have benefited from douglas' appearance. sadly, he was unable to make any of the u.s. shows to perform "stalker" and "faith healer". still i needed my n.e.p. fix and they did not disappoint.
a very taught set from the boys this time around. the audience seemed unusually sedate. true to form, the band was very animated. douglas continues to prowl the stage like a caged panther barking orders in time like a drill sergeant. vocals are very clear and prominent in the mix as they are for most n.e.p. shows.
still the unexpected indifference of the weeknight audience in attendance did bring the band's
energy level down a notch until the end of set "murderous". apparently the residents of silverlake can't dance.
"once you say" is now performed in a lower key perhaps because after a solid year of touring the world, he needs to preserve his voice. the lack of audience "participation" created a near perfect storm for taping. no chat, just polite applause and a murmur between songs. unfortunately, the show opener "promises" and the classic "ascend" have been nixed from the set and replaced by the new song, "on the road". douglas and bon stayed and met fans after the show at the venue entrance. a class act. see you the next time around.

gratuitous propaganda:
a must for fans of: nine inch nails, depeche mode, kmfdm, ministry, revco, daf, skinny puppy, recoil, bauhaus, numan, the sisters of mercy, etc...

please buy their phenomenal new album "industrial complex" or get to one of their shows.
