Before you get any idea's that this is really cool, it isn't.
The demo's have been just trashed due to an immense amount of noise reduction used.
They are listenable, but they sound almost like something coming from a Real Audio stream.
Strickly for the, jeez-I-don't-have-these-yet crowd, or someone using a BT client that doesn't let you select only part of a torrent.
I have traded for this set of demos twice, and each time have yet to get a "normal sounding" set.
My hope is that someone will torrent them eventually if they exist.
A whopping 4/10. Oh hell, I'll go 3/10 so the spectrum analysis freaks don't feel left out when they see the rolloff is at 6K. Okay dammit, 2.5/10, but not a bit lower.
What is cool is the Madrid tracks. The dude I got them from recorded them straight from the broadcast into his computer. Just great sound, with a very small amount of distortion from a mid-90's era soundcard. I have heard at least one other copy of these on CD and it sounded like crap compared to these. I'll go 9/10.
Lastly, I'm on a capped upload (35kb/s), so please don't freak it it takes a bit before there's more th |
