Tech Notes "Taped and Transferred by jamroom - JAM006

The set list was tracked by Flipzoso, as I was almost completely lost where they should be done, with all the jamming and Omar's little loop interludes - great stuff and thanks mate! I have split it just about where you said - apologies if it's slightly out. I would also like to point out that I have not faded for cd splits, so if you're going to burn this to cd, then you'll need to do this yourself (Audacity does the job for free) and three hours will mean three cds, or one DVD, of course..."

"Notes:

My first time seeing this amazing band and what a show! Three hours of amazing sonic complexity. I don't where to start. Whether it was Cedric's vocal acrobatics and dance moves, or Omar's awesome use of the guitar and his (arc)arsenal of effects and loops, or Thomas and Juan's amazing backline, or Isaiah's great organ and keyboard work, or Marcel, Adrian, and Paul adding their own embellishments that makes the band's live show the epic journey that it is.

I will admit that for some, a three hour show with lots of jammed-out songs, maybe going too far, but a band like this comes along only once in a while. There were so many great moments at this atmospheric show, that only a listen will reveal. Despite being a big ATDI fan, I haven't really listened to this band over the last few years, but I'll rectify that shortly.

Cedric says at the end that "we would play more, but we have to stop... we could go on for two more days if we wanted...". lol. I don't know if my legs could stand it :)

There were quite a few folks that only seemed to be at the gig to talk, but it doesn't detract from the music too much, I hope. At least you have a source for this show.


Please support the band by buying their albums & merch, and going to see them live.
