| Note | Clearly, this is no AUD. I've had others who know I hate AUD's try to pass a SBD or FM over on me as an AUD. You can't fool me, don't try. But please, this one was sooooooo easy anyways.
Let's start with the obvious and plainly visible 19k stereo tone inherent in many analog FM's. You'd have to be blind to miss it. And of course it sounds very much like all the other FM's of this tour, granted it does have a well-mic'd crowd, but it has all the direct tangibles that a SBD>FM gen has as well. Now a quick peek at [url=http://www.splra.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tsp2000-08-12]SPLRA [/url] shows 2 "unsurfaced" gens of FM's, one of which is missing HMM. But it's here. The other one listed says it's incomplete, but I found it intact, unless there is some banter missing (which I left alone) the songs are all there, even the botched version of "SIYL". And that gen also is listed as an MD, and that explains it all, as the scope of the files shows a similar drop to MD's frequency limits, but a solid 19k means it's never been encoded, so this is it, that FM>MD version. It's still a crisp-essy recording, but does not contain the horrible phasing that the more widely circulated dFM>MP2 does, which in my book should not be traded as a lossless show at all, but that's just me. Anyway, here it is sounding quite good to me. I waited a long time to get my hands on one of the true FM's, and this is it. The bonuses are a rare but quality live version of "The Sacred and Profane" and a killer rendition of Melissa singing Human Leagues "Don't You Want Me" with the "Du Hast" tease opening. I left the abandoned "SIYL" as I know some of you prefer it that way, but I gave it it's own track at least. Also, this had the titles of "HMM" and "BWBW" switched. The songs were in correct order, but the names were not. I did some work to it overall, killing some of the "essing" and smoothing out the whole spectrum, spread, enhanced, maximized. |
