Notes

Torquay Town Hall

Low gen tape > CDR


This CD that's been around for years had strange track start points, eg Welcome to the Future started in the middle of the first sentence. The track divisions have been completely redone, using Cakewalk GTP. Taking the Space Ritual album as a model, track starting points include some of the electronic preamble, where possible.

The 90 seconds of sounds between Brainbox Pollution and Lord of Light now form a track in their own right, as per Electronic No 1 on Space Ritual. This does mean that the artwork doesn't match the CD, but that's often the case, with a Hawkwind CD.

A short portion is missing from within Brainbox Pollution, 45 minutes into the gig, obviously due to a cassette tape flip. Forty five minutes after that, the end of Time We Left is similarly missing.

The volume level of the Disk 2 material has been boosted by 6dB to bring it into line with Disk 1's levels.


QUALITY: 7/10

Sound quality is a bit scruffy but quite listenable, and with a reasonable amount of high end.
