I just contacted Lauri and he let me read some comments on their last
tape (consisting of eight songs). And he assured me that a tape is
similar to a CD over there.

Here is his e-mail address:
Lauri Liivak: lauri@forwards.ee

Ha ha hehe!
It must be the tune i taped in Gavle -91! Who spread the word about
that one???
Erik, are you there??

Let set it straight: I was back stage interviewing the band. The guys
were sitting in a sofa, strumming on a guitar. Then they said smth
like: this was a new song of ours. I went: "WHAT?!" and then they all
looked very mysteriously at each other.
(I hadn't heard that particular MBV song, so I couldn't recognize it by
then :-/ )

So AFAIK they never played it live. It was just something to mock me...

Subject: Live Slowdive

    Thanks to those involved, especially Erik, (and Neil and Rachael, of
course) with getting the Live Oslo tracks on the net. One question
though: I experience some random (vinyl-like) pops and clicking  noises
when I play the files. Is it the recording, my Mpeg player, or what? I'
guessing that it's the recording, but if not, please enlighten me.

Also, When is someone going to upload some more live tracks? I am dying
to hear some more live stuff. Erik?

Thanks again,

    Justin

Subject: Re: Live Slowdive

I did the MP3 encoding of Oslo, and you're quite welcome.  The pops and
clicks are from my cassette.  However, the original recording was on
vinyl.  I tried to reduce hiss, popping and other imperfections as much
as possible, but any more noise reduction would compensate some of the
high frequencies.  While I was doing it, I discovered the recording
sounded really dull --- gotta compromise a little.

I originally did this little project, because someone wanted to press a
CD and sell it for their own personal gain.  Why pay when someone could
distribute it for free?  I'd do more, but the only other live recordings
I have are on video.  I don't have access to a Hi-Fi VCR, so
unfortunately, that's it for now.  Anyhow, in terms of quality, this is
the best of what I have.

Thanks for listening,
Luis

Subject: Quality of Live in Oslo?

I just recorded the mp3's from my computer to my tape deck, but there
seems to be a lot of tape noise/fuzz in the recording.  Since I haven't
heard any other copies of the boot, I was wondering is it this
noticeable among them all, or did my tape deck just amplify the tape
noise?  I'm not sure if I should keep this recording or throw it away
and get another copy from a trader.  

thanks in advance,
		daniel lee

You should get it from a trader. The mp3's have data compression and when
decompressed produces artifacts(hiss and fuzz). As far as I know most of
the traders on the list will send you a copy straight from the original
vinyl....My copy sounds pretty good.... I think it's great that someone
is offering to do this for all us fans! :)

What do think of Slowdive live? Pretty amazing stuff, huh? It's so powerful
and the guitars sound incredible!:)

Take Care

Talking about the guitars... does anyone but me see the similarities between
Gary Clark (Danny Wilson, King L, Transister) and Neil Halstead? When it
comes to the material they write, the way they play the guitar and the sound
they create with it? I just got Transister's s/t album to review, and the 
gorgeous end track "Flow" is just as ingenious as something Neil would
have done.

I was under the impression from Luis that he put the mp3s up from the
original vinyl? maybe I misunderstood him....
