about

Well, here we go with another little Canterbury related gem from the vaults. This was taped with permission of the band and the venue with microphones placed approximately 7 feet in the air on a stand. An absolutely delightful performance, the evening was made even more magical when Rick and Andy ended up spending the night at my house after the show. We enjoyed ourselves hanging out way into the wee hours, drinking beer and swapping tales.....this is what ultimately set the stage for Richard to come and play at my house the following year.

Taped by Kevin Hall
Sony WM-D6C Professional Walkman recorder, 2 Beyer M-700 microphones, Maxell metal cassettes
Mastered and FLAC'ed by Carl Morstadt
Master Cassette -> Sony K707ES cassette deck -> M-Audio Firewire Audiophile 2496 -> CDWAV 24 bit/96 kHz wav files -> Goldwave (normalizing and crossfades) -> CD Wave (track breaks). dBpoweramp Audio Converter (24 bit/96 kHz wav files converted to 16 bit/44.1 kHz wav files) -> FLAC Front End (with sector boundary alignment). No EQ'ing.

The first track has some tape gremlins and some vocal PA gremlins that could not be excised. At least they soon get sorted.

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time anyone in the band has seen a quid from it.

Thanks to Joerg (Propylaen2001) for the tapes

about

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
