Recorded straight to Lindsay's laptop. This time, I experimented with a different mic placement, recording further back from the stage in an attempt to get a better balance from the band. The balance is indeed better, but the law of unintended consequences strikes again -- I had forgotten about the loud ventilation system in CB's Lounge, which makes a special guest appearance on all eight tracks.  Oh well.

This is, incidentally, the first performance of a minty-fresh new tune, Phobos, written to feature Sam Sadigursky on tenor. Sam also plays the stratospheric soprano part on this version of Desolation Sound.

Incriminating evidence from the night will be up in the sidebar shortly. Thanks again to everyone who joined us Wednesday night.
