A LARS M RECORDING
---
Rec. Info:
SONY PCM D50 internal mics (@ WAV 16/44) -> SDcard -> HD -> USB stick (via Snailmail) -> my HD -> Audacity (edit only) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by dear friend and taper genius Lars at 2-3 meters from stage center. A few words from him: "This was the night when the AIWA mic failed during the support band. I switched to
the internal mics and it came out well...Full house at Crossroads, maybe 150 people..." And, yes, dear Lars, it really turned out well. Nothing to complain. Reminds me of a truth told
by another good taper friend: "It's not about the gear, it's about position" (quote fliederchris). Sorry, no pics on this one...

After me (and probably you as well) got introduced to this "norwegian all-star" band with the nice recording of a September show from Drammen (also taped by dear Lars), here's another
proof that "heavy 70's psychedelic bluesrock" is not just limited to a few native english speaking countries, but exceptionally also grows in the northern lands of Europe. What you get
to listen are not only "shadows of old Fleetwood Mac" as the fine cover version might suggest. Modern stoner elemts can be found as well as other "old school" Hardrock influences.
Two great guitarslingers who contastantly "duel" each other, a good singer, a pumping rhythm section...are you ready? Let's get the show started...SB.
