A note from Beens
=================

Well, as I am the one releasing it, it was my turn to make up a silly name.
A lot of names went through my mind. Than I started thinking about why I was 
releasing this one.

If I had kept it hidden, I could have had so much fun with it. It would have 
been worth other IEM or ALD recordings (yes, I know they are out there). I 
remembered looking through the Movement site for new additions. It struck me 
how many "new" hidden audience recordings there were. And I bet you, some of 
them, if not most of them are crap.

It is not if we were talking a crewmember here who stole a soundboard recording 
and just gave it to some good friends. No, we are talking audience recordings 
here.  That did it for me. I got this one with no strings attached, so I just 
had to let it out.

I just wanted to make a statement with this one.


Remastering notes from phfan (stereo remastering)
=================================================

This stereo remaster was based upon the original mono release by Willem Beens 
& Speedy, Without both of them, this would have been impossible!  Thanks to both!

My goal was to not only put these songs into stereo, but also to improve overall 
sound quality and create a true concert-like sound experience.  The original mono, 
while very clear and mastered well by Speedy, was very dry sounding as no effects 
of any sort were applied (this was fine since Speedy only intended to release mono 
and leave further remastering for others).  

Each song I remastered has the following characteristics (to one degree or another) 
compared to the original mono:

1) Improved aural sound zone / stereo spatial enhancement
2) A "reverb" of sorts which gives a concert-like sound
3) Stereo effects, usually delay effects to "stereotize" the sound more.

Many, but not all songs, also have stronger bass and/or treble eq on them.  
Typically on songs where the bass is more prevalent and is more of a "key" to the 
feel of a song, I brought that out a little more, such as on "You Can't Hurry Love" 
and "Sussudio".

Since all of the songs had similar processing done on them, the continutity of the 
"feel of sound" is pretty good, so you don't have wide variations from song to song.  
I preserved all of the original material and song lenghths and did no actual audio 
editing.  This stereo release is just like the original in all ways other then the 
actual sound of the songs themselves.

The result of the stereo remastering overall is pretty good.  Some songs are noticeably
better then others (like In the Air Tonight for example!) and some songs I probably 
got a little too "effect happy" on, but ALL sound quite noticeably better then the 
mono versions of them.  Hope you enjoy!


Remastering notes from Speedy (mono remastering)
================================================

This recording is great, but the original had its problems. There were gaps that
were not simply DAO/TAO type errors where there is a 2 sec pause. Some of these 
gaps lined up properly when removed; some did not. When they did not line up, I 
used the magic of the crossfade to cover it up. The result is almost impossible
to notice, but it does happen during song audio two or three times. I'll leave 
it to the superaudiophiles to figure out where (if you can :)). 

Also, the audio was split in some unfortunate locations and fixing it
took a little time and patience.

The BIG problem is that the audio levels bounced around on different tracks and 
in two cases the level would jump or dip on the aforementioned spots where the 
audio was broken by a gap. Repairing these was quite difficult. I think I pulled 
it off but again if you listen hard enough you will spoil it for yourself so my 
advice is just enjoy what we've got.

The recording is indeed in mono and I chose not to add any pseudo-stero effects.
I see this as something a remastering group like "The West Side" could take on 
later if they so desire.  My only goal here was to edit this so that it would run continuously.
