HW Knights of Space

[SHLL (Scott Heller)]

Hello

I just got my copy and boy can I say I am quite disappointed. While it is a great set list the sound at the beginning is terrible. It gets better but does no one  in the band even check this stuff out? During the first song and during a lot of the concert when Tim plays the theremin you can't hear it at all or barely. It is mixed well at times but at the beginning they show him playing it and you can't hear it at all. Dave's guitar is basically missing for a lot of the concert. It is never loud enough and most of the time sounds like he is playing in another room. I also really don't like Jason's new age piano stuff mixed into so many of the old tracks. It just makes the music too new age and not spacey. The spacey sounds are now this nice and movie friendly pinao lines. It is ok on Paradox but it also in Aliem I am as a dominant piece, in Master of the universe, etc... The bass is by far the most dominant instrument in the mix. The vocals sound great but I just don't understand why it sounds the way it does if they had real multitracks to mix. Pity....

Anyway, I say don't go for it unless you really have to. Still one of my all time favorite bands but this is like 2 stars out of 5.

Scott
