Park West Chicago, IL, USA |
 A Special Night February 2, 2010
Written by mflaherty
In a recent piece for DGM, I mentioned how wonderful this particular evening of soundscapes was. I am, of course, delighted to see this same performance become available.
In honesty, I actually expected, after 12 years, to be disappointed. After all, at the time the released CDs were all I had heard, so surely the impact, after hearing so many performances, would be lessened, right? If anything, it’s better than I remembered.
This is one of the darkest, yet most hauntingly beautiful soundscapes yet available; for me, the Park West show joins NYC 2000 as the top pick of soundscape downloads. The use of voice, echo, drone, etc, his never been better.
I also want to add that, while not at the level of more recent tours, the sound quality is VERY good. Perhaps less than perfect, but I wouldn’t want anyone to think this show has bootleg level sound.

I’ll second Mr Flaherty’s comments on the sound. The most noticeable distortion is on the most violent sections of the music towards the end and to me it actually adds Read more
