Notes

Recorded at the Academy, Manchester, UK. Very good audience recording. From the info file: PORCUPINE TREE_ACADEMY, MANCHESTER_2006_09_30 (AUD) LINEAGE>SONY MZ-NH1 c/w handmade stereo binaural mics mounted on lapels and GreenMachine battery box>USB to hard drive via Sonicstage 4 convert to wav>add fades in sounforge 7.0>split tracks and convert to FLAC (level 8) in CD Wave Editor. Show length 156 minutes. Show notes- The set was split into two distinct parts- the first was completely made up of 6 new unreleased-even unrecorded -songs which are as yet untitled. The second part was made up of older material (Though the 'oldest' only dates back to the Stupid Dream sessions!!). Excellent sounding set in the hall and I'm glad to say that has replicated itself on this recording. I've done absolutely nothing with it except add a fade at the end of each the two parts of the set. I was maybe a little bit consersvative with the levels (previous experience in this venue has taught me that!) but it is very clean and bright with no distortion at all and just waiting for you to mould itself to your own listening tastes!
