Notes: Part of a live broadcast of 5 bands - N-Joi, Orbital, Basti, The Prodigy and The Shamen. The fadeout tracks - orbital1992-04-24t00fadein.wav & orbital1992-04-24t08fadeout.wav - may be used if burning this Orbital recording to CD by itself. Alternatively, if burning with the preceding N-Joi set. and/or the following Basti set, omit the corresponding fade tracks. This recording has a peculiar audio signature - one that I have never seen before, and am unable to explain. The positive sample peaks (those "above the line") peak at about 3/4 of the negative sample values - those "below the line". This means that although the .wav files were normalised, the positive peaks are far from hitting the maximum sample value, the negative peaks get very close. This is not simply a DC offset issue - applyiny DC offset correction does not change matters. There was something very odd about this sound as it was broadcast by the BBC, and this peculiarity is present (and visible) on the audio for each of the 5 performers. The recordings were spread across 2 cassette tapes; nevertheless playback justs perfectly 'normal' (to my ears).
