Rec. Info:
OKM2R -> ZOOM H2n (at Wav 16/44) -> SDcard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/volume boost only) -> Wav 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by dear MIROH at stage edge almost dead center. The "tape" came out almost perfect. Almost no chatters audible, a very respect crowd of about 50 people in
a very nice location (with a BIG stage!). Minimal hiss on the very quiet parts due to the volume boost, but nothing really annoying.
All thanks to the "junior" taper, this might be your first masterpiece! May many more follow!

On the intention to see OKTA LOGUE the following day, I did not attend this show. Well, BIG MISTAKE! But I lent my equipment to dear MIROH, so at least I could hear what
was going on that thurday evening in a small club in Osnabrueck, one of a few stops of LEECH'es European Autumn tour. Though this band exists in a various incarnations since
1995, they were new to my ears (as they might be to yours, too). As they are a six piece band, you can imagine that the stage was loaded with different equipment, and all the
setting work was worth the effort! And - of course - not for a 45 min. show...
So here's a great audio capture of their live show. From my own view (or ears experience) I think the opening tracks are a bit too "commercial" orientated, but that changed very
soon into a spheric post-spacerock par excellence! If you like bands like LONG DISTANCE CALLING, you're excatly right here, with the difference that LEECH are less "stoner" than
the great band from Muenster, Germany. So, for now, join in, have a great time. Perfect music for a moody grey windy autumn day like today, here in Northwest Westphalia. SB.
