about

These tapes really pushed the limits of my 'skills' in sound engineering and the results aren't all that good but, as an archival resource they're fine. For the one or two fans who haven't got this (or the purely inquisitive) - please download at your pleasure.

The 1st 8 tracks are from a live to air 'concert' at Sydney Uni for 2SER. It has some weird radio enhanced ring modulation on the high end which is annoying but the performances are OK and the banter is hearty.

The 2nd set is our last gig at the Hip-Hop club in Paddington which has awful muddy sound and a creaky left channel (that I excluded from the final recordings).

In any case, it's probably better to listen to the studio efforts elsewhere available as these don't have as many off notes (and the backings are mostly the same anyway - except for 'Nights in a Glass' which has a cute synth line up high at the end).

But then you'd miss out on all the sparkling 'tween song repartee... and you wouldn't want that. You'd also miss out on the later Patrick written songs like "When was Jesus Born" - a New Zealand gospel track; "Look Within Upon Everything" - the finale of the weirdly nice radio play we completed during 1984 (see elsewhere); "Revolution" - a heavy metal monster with Michael Filewood on guitar and a bluesy reframe; "The Drowning Man" - with the faux pedal steel and, most importantly, the over-the-top, grand Guignol goodbye to NNS that is "OK Fascist" (oh, and not forgetting the paraphrase of 'hey, DJ won't you play that song, keep me dancing all night long' within the 2nd version of 'Green Tea').
