Roy Martin\'s Music Collection (5/5) FLAC / 0 View   rough-sounding WLS-FM b'cast (AC008)
Notes: This is the WLS FM radio broadcast, that was aired live as it happened on July 4, 1979. As Robby mentions, it was going out live around the world, but a bad storm caused lots of problems with the signal and this is rough. It is an FM broadcast, and although it is rough, I have still enjoyed it for many years. To me, it sounds as good as many audience recordings I have heard through the years. Not a problem for me to listen to, but you be the judges! I got this on 2 cdrs when people started burning their own discs from cassette tapes long ago. I have NO IDEA of the lineage, except I know this has not been done as MP3 and converted back. I took the cds and ripped them with SOUNDFORGE, titled the tracks, used FLACfrontend to encode them (FLAC 8)

Tim Devine (4/5) cdr / 2 b- View  
Notes: Clever Trevor's Notes...... Take into consideration this was recorded during a thunderstorm. And has a bit of tape slipping. How many Monolith shows are outthere? Exactly. Disc One was running a bit slow, so did a slight pitch correction of 2.946% for those who like to know. Raised the volume a bit,and boosted the right channel by 7% as it was quite a bit lower. Disc Two pitch was just about right (work that one out) but still raised the right channel again ( my brother had a dodgy cassette deck like that) did a couple of fades and got rid of the odd bit dead air and reduced the thunderstorm crackles. Slightly adjusted bass and treble,and marvelled at how good Kansas are. Original Notes............ Well, everyone has been requesting a MONOLITH tour show. They are hard to come by!! (almost as hard as a complete soundboard from the first and second album tours!) This is the WLS FM radio broadcast, that was aired live as it happened on July 4, 1979. As Robby mentions, it was going out live around the world, but a bad storm caused lots of problems with the signal and this is rough. It is an FM broadcast, and although it is rough, I have still enjoyed it for many years. To me, it sounds as good as many audience recordings I have heard through the years. Not a problem for me to listen to, but you be the judges! I got this on 2 cdrs when people started burning their own discs from cassette tapes long ago. I have NO IDEA of the lineage, except I know this has not been done as MP3 and converted back. I took the cds and ripped them with SOUNDFORGE, titled the tracks, used FLACfrontend to encode them (FLAC 8), and drank a glass of ice water during the conversion. (No waterglass was harmed in the process) I have enjoyed this for the powerful show it is.. I hope those of you who (like me) find MONOLITH to be a diamond in the crown of KANSAS work, will enjoy this!
