Crash & Burn & Sideways expanded quick review - 11/27/10 05:29 PM
I'll just cover off what's new.
The new booklets are lovely.Nice to see all of the lyrics.Nice job Rob & all.
Sideways Disc 2
Cargo 2008 Live tracks
I was there so its nice to finally hear excellent sounding versions of these tracks.Remembering that I had some HD video of quite a lot of the show with very badly distorted sound,now I can watch my videos with John & Louis (and Steve D'As) audio.
Young Savage and Dislocation sound better than I remember them.
My stand out favourite from the Cargo set is The Garden.
Haunted
Drum machine and treated Piano ambience intro lead into other wordly Foxx vocals yes we have a song.
Crash and Burn Disc 2
Labywrinth Generarator
Slow smoky ambienty instrumental.
Storm Warning
This instrumental sounds very Peter Gabriel in parts,could have come off The Last Temptation CD.
Broadway Submarine
This is quite an experimental instrumental
Nottingham 2003 Live tracks
Pretty good both of them.
One thing of note is that Invisible Women V2 is sung live over the Sex Video backing track.This confused me at first.I thought the sleeve notes were wrong.
Overall great packages,improvements over the original,worth having.
I've yet to to give the first discs a spin but I will tomorrow.
