CM-100 microphones > (on stands, on either side of sbd.) Radio Shack mini- mixer > Naka. BX-100 cassette deck (dolby off) > Maxell XLII-S 90 min. master cassettes > 1st copy (Maxell XLII-S 90 min. cassettes) > soundforge 4.5 > FLAC 6 > torrentially yours. It's a 4 stepper from me (1 short of minimum), but there is no CD/DAT or Dolby N.R. in this lineage, just the master cassette and transfer to 1st gen cassette. comments: When I 1st posted this I thought it was the full night's show but the F/I set was so short I almost forgot about it. This time I've found it and put it in here for the second posting of all 3 of these sets. (the 1st time I posted the F/I seperately.) This is the complete night's entertainment of 7/18/95 at a club owned by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Simon House's set sounded like T.Dream more than Hawkwind influenced, I thought the sound in his set was better than parts of the Nik Turner one, which was alot louder. I don't know the 1st 3 titles of House set, it ends with a nice cover of Interstellar Overdrive, there also seem to be a few tape flaws in part of the Nik set. Nothing really bad but it is noticable. It's all recorded on XLII-S and once copied from the original, Nak. to Nak. I did not notice any problems with transfer to 1st gen. tape. There is a little bit of talking in this recording, but not very loud and only a little of it, the mikes were about 2 feet above most head's level and had no direct obstruction to the speakers. Fidelity is pretty good, although there are a couple of slightly less clear parts in a couple of Nik's louder parts. There is no saturation or clipping of the recording, but a few short stretches where it sounds not quite right. Still pretty good even there. Most of this sounds quite nice, and I thought a fine performance from both. There was a recent upload from zombiwoof of a band called Nik Turner's Hawkwind (Wash. D.C. 95), which I suspect is this same band, since the set and sound of the music is very similar. If you haven't heard his 94 and 95 Nik shows, check them out, quality is clean exc sbd on both. This clearly is not a sbd, but pretty good for an aud. It was billed as Nik Turner's Space Ritual, not Hawkwind, but it sounds just like the one called Nik Turner's Hawkwind in 1995. This Nik band (or maybe a revised edition) played several years later at Milky Way Lounge in Jamaica Plain (part of Boston). I did not see that show and have yet to hear a recording. Do not sell these recordings. Trade freely and losslessly (and gaplessly) space was never meant to be sold or interrupted.
