sbd - cotsman version of the upgraded seed with more unlistenable bits "Caveat:--From 0:36 in New Potato through the Alligator reprise, the quality drops off severely due to extremely low recording levels. Edits were made to raise the volume and reduce the hiss levels, which dominated the barely audible music. This portion was taken from the J. Powell/J. Barnes SHN seed and patched into a different SBD>MR>C>D>CD source---a source that has somewhat more noticeable hiss, though there are no significant raspy distortions that can be noticed on the MSR>R>D>CD source." [2006-04-26] This Dark Star up until the first verse sounds very much like the Live/Dead version. the main difference is that after the verse, it proceeds fairly quickly into a nice Cryptical Suite. the "unlistenable" portion is more or less that. Reminds me of the part in the movie Contact where they pick up this low frequency breathing in the RF. Here it sounds like the tape was eccentric as the reels make a revolution. The Feedback is fairly good. The sound quality of the first part is very good and worth a listen to hear how Dark Star was evolving.
