Feeling: Reflective

AMT #1 - M0, 8+/10, 720 x 576 AVI, Recorded by draZen
Lineage: 2 Mini DV tapes - Sony Handycam DCR-H96E by Firewire - Sony's Play Home software - two .avi video files. Tape 1 consists of the soundcheck and the first 5 songs, while tape 2 consists of the rest of the gig. Originally surfaced on November 16, 2016, as the fourth installment in Black Sun Productions’ alternate, free Colour Sound Oblivion on Youtube in widescreen. The master surfaced November 23, 2018. "A Warning from the Sun" cuts out and "Drip Drop" cuts in. There are a few cuts at the beginning of "Drip Drop" and throughout "An Unearthly Red." Used on Colour Sound Oblivion DVD #7.

Greg Reason manually declipped, declicked, reduced peaks, optimized gain, phase-corrected, and subtly reheated via SoundToys Decapitator the soundcheck portion of this recording. He had to incorporate three separate EQ settings throughout the audio. Sadly, John's yelling was so loud that he couldn't perfect the recording as was ideal, but I think you'll agree with me that his hard work paid off, that it's a massive improvement anyway. He spent over 10 hours on this!!

3. I Don't Want to Be the One (Take 2) 6:46

"Live Four" phase.

Thighpaulsandra believes this gig was “hit and miss,” claiming the next one was quite superior. He explains that’s why the live album Live Four wasn’t entirely comprised of one or the other. I think another reason could be the apparent sound problems the band were having. For example, in AMT #1 during “Amethyst Deceivers,” you can see Thighpaulsandra repeatedly tapping synth keys with no sound coming out. “A Warning from the Sun” also suffers from these problems, as the main synth riff is hardly heard at all.

One could also attribute the mixed quality of the performance to John’s alleged drunkenness on absinthe and asking fans for drugs backstage.
