RE: Why I'm starting to loath news paper music critics

["Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com>]

Yeah, then be accused by another reviewer of being deceitful....again, I
will put my faith in the music. I'm going to yield to this sort of crap,
just to address a nit, that the word "live" is in my title, but I didn't
have applause in the mix. That's asinine.

Shit, I thought my blood pressure was finally down on this and now you
guys are fucking my day up again. Sorry....bad night of sleeplessness
with the twins. s

I believe there was a Mick Karn album that David Torn played on that
opened with a big rock type number (as much as it would be with the
two of them), and they'd added in crowd noise to make it sound like it
was show in the Enormodome.  I'd suggest remixing the album and adding
in huge waves of stadium applause from a sound effects CD....
