Traded sometime between 1999-2006 and ripped from my CDRs in 2011. This is the audio taken from a video of the show, which was a single-cam shot from amongst the audience.

The source had a few issues such as micro-gaps between tracks, drop-outs and numerous pops which I have repaired using Audacity and then re-tracked. Some minor pops still remain, but I have fixed the worst of them.

I also decided to extract the audio from my DVD as a comparison, but the sound turned out to be inferior. I did use this source however, to patch a cluster of pops and drop-outs between 6:29-6:40 during Radioactive Toy and for some tuning between the Moon Touches Your Shoulder and Dislocated Day.

The recording itself is OK given the limitations of the source. The instrument levels change depending on where the cameraman was standing but the balance isn't too bad overall. I'm thinking the tape runs a bit fast, but I don't have the ear to fix it. It's especially evident during the start of Dislocated Day.

There is also a soundboard recording for this show which is taken from the very rare pro-shot Delerium promo video (Delerium DELEC PROMO VID 6 UK 1995).


Other notes:

- tape cut between t6 and t7, no music lost
- tape cut between t7 and t8, no music lost
- majority of pops and drop-outs fixed, some still remain
- ^ first recorded performance, they were probably premiered the night before in Zaandam.
