EXCLUSIVE !

Thanks to Alyssa here we have a very exciting find as I havn't seen this particular concert available anywhere else. Also any concerts from this period are always particularly welcome, rare and special. This is a great audience recording brought to full glory through Re mastering. There are times when the background chatter is quite noticeable but as with most of the songs from this period there are enough moments when the music just takes you away that on the balance its ok. The first three songs, Vaka, Njosnavelin, and Ny Batteri sadly are missing but what we do have is stunning. Really cant thank Alyssa enough for sending me the CD so that we can now enjoy this wonderful vintage Sigur ros concert.
As Ive asked before, if you do have any Sigur ros rarities you would be willing to share and would like to have brought to their full potential through being Re mastered please, please do as its deeply appreciated by many people

By Request:
Nick requested I post this one as he was there on the night and wanted to re live the experience but also specifically to listen to the version of Viðrar vel til loftárása they played on the night as he said it was particularly stunning. And of course he was right! Its a beauty. During this tour Jonsi uses a different effects pedal for the distorted feedback which you hear to full affect during the opening few minutes of Viðrar. The Re mastering has given this recording a wonderful lift but it should be noted that Jonsi's voice does appear quite far to the left in the stereo field. Not that this effects the quality or enjoyment of the show but it needs to mentioned. Stephen, the taper dedicated on his notes, this recording to Julie. Thanks to Stephen for his kindness in sharing.

Last Days - The Safety Of The North - EXCLUSIVE!

Last Days - The Safety Of The North - EXCLUSIVE !

Ok, so the story goes : Im in a bar waiting for a concert to start and I get talking to a friend of a friend and we start talking about playing and writing music. Something he says prompts me to ask "have you ever written any music that been produced?" After a bit of digging he admits to releasing a small CD under the name of Last Days. At this point I fall of my chair !! I could hardly believe that next to me was the artist who produced what was for me one my top 3 favourite albums of the last year. At this point my friend arrives who then in turn falls of his chair in amazement. We both rate this album as one of our all time favourites. After a bit of arm twisting Graham kindly connsented to allow me to post a couple of songs from the CD. I wont say anymore other than, please try this music, its wonderful and comes from a really beautiful place.
From the experts:
About Last Days
"...This third Last Days album is quite an achievement and surely one of the very finest things the n5MD label has released in some time. Highly recommended." (Boomkat) "...What earmarks The Safety Of The North as proper prize-winning poetry and not just an hour and six minutes of syrup is its bejeweling with perfect detail: it’s a struggle to hear this and stop oneself slipping into personal layers of reverie..." (Cokemachine Glow) "...Like previous Last Days outings, hope is the prevailing emotion. Either testament to its strength or the fact it is arguably the only constant emotion in life. On ‘The Safety of the North’ it radiates stronger than ever..."

Lineage: Zoom h4 > Re master > FLAC (SBE)/MP3 320kbps

The second act of the night, following the talented local, Denis Jones, was Jóhann Jóhannsson. Jóhann is a modern classical composer from Iceland whose music flows in a similar beautiful vein to the music of Olafur Arnalds. The show in Manchester was quite a rare live performance which included his string quaretet. A lovely relaxed, delicate and moving concert which both the audience and Jóhann enjoyed. Thank again to Dave and Graham without whom this wouldn't have been possible and to myself, the taper : )
NB: You may wish to adjust the tagging to the correct naming as is set out below.
Enjoy this very rare live performance of Jóhann Jóhannsson

The headline gig for the start of the Manchester Futuresonic Festival. Absolutely breathtakingly brilliant show. The sound in the theatre was great, as you would expect from the Royal Northern College of Music. The light show supplied by AntiVJ was exceptional and fitted the music of Murcof perfectly. Amazing 3D effects projected through 3 layers of see through cloth. A fantastic sounding concert. Thank to Dave and Graham without whom this wouldnt have been possible and to me the taper : )

I had the good fortune to receive one of Sam's handmade CD's and they really are beautiful. I was quite touched to receive a CD where as much love, time and thought had gone into the packaging as had the music itself.

Sigur Rós - Enmore Theatre, Sydney 12.04.2006 Re Master 09

This show is absolutely brilliant and will almost defiantly be in the top 10 of all time Sigur ros concerts. The balance of sound is fantastic, Jonsi's voice in particular is so strong. Over the course of working with these concerts there are some emerging which have such a great sound quality that it becomes a pleasure listening to them on that basis alone! This concert should be a part of a fans collection. Special thanks to Chris for his kind permission to post this concert

Machinefabriek - Live - DeSingel, Antwerp, 17.04.2008

Here is a treat and a quite a rarity at that, a live performance from Machinefabriek. Its likely many people will not have heard of him but if you are a fan of minimal, ambient, drone type music you may be impressed to know that he is the favourite artist of Jasper TX, himself a master of Minimal ambient drone. Music to dream and fall asleep too

Sigur Rós - Palais Theatre, Melbourne 11.04.2006 - Re Master 09

This is the first '06 concert which really stands out for me sound wise - I love it! Jonsi's voice really stands out in the mix with an awesome bass and great depth of character from the instruments. Essentially what you would expect from great recording with great mics. I didn't do much with the sound as it has already been superbly recorded and edited but I did add a little mastering sparkle and depth. There is still another 7 or 8 2006 concerts to go but this one is by far my favourite to date. Thanks so much to Taper 'whatabout bob' for this one. (I dont have any contact details for 'whataboutbob' so if you would like to contact me please e-mail)

Sigur ros - Grand Rapids (Late Show) 18.02.2006 Re Master 09

Excellent concert in every respect. Very well balanced sound. After listening to this again its a lot better than I originally thought for the simple reason that nothing stands out in particular, which indicates that the various aspects of the sound are all working well together to give a smooth easy to listen to enjoyable concert. Its sometimes tempting when working with these concerts to emphasize aspects such as making the drums extra punchy or the sound extra bright but in general, if there is nothing in the mix distracting you from the music itself its so much easier on the ear and so all your focus simply goes on just enjoy the music rather than being distracted by any fancy audio effects. I think to some degree we have succeeded with this one. Thanks as always to the taper for their kindness

Superb quality and energy. The bass is punchy and warm, the voice is strong, well rounded and sits very well in the mix. Other elements of the sound are really nice as well, clear and balanced.

With this concert we start the 2006 series. Quite a nice show. The bass is fairly prominent and with the over all sound and feel being soft and gentle this is a nice one to start with. Thanks to T Harrington for kindly taping this and sharing.

Sigur Rós - Teatro Della Concordio, Torino 25.11.2005 FM Broadcast - Re Master 09

A very nice quite lively concert. Because its an FM Broadcast the sound does contain some features which you would expect. This translated as the sound being 'calmed down' a little bit, some of the high end 'excitement' was reduced and a little bit of warmth and bass was added. You can still hear some warbled artifacts in the background and the overall sound is still very bright but this doesn't work against what is an excellent concert. The last track is cut. Thanks to StreetSpirit for the original taping.

Very nice audience cam video of Explosions. A little shaky at first but soon settles into a great concert from Explosions in their early days. Excellent sound as well. 44 minutes. 480MB wmv
- I thought it would be nice to include the 'un-released' Explosions song to the TV theme track of Friday Night Lights here as well -
