Knights of Space audio mix

[John Majka]

I think the HW interview is just a sort of after-the-fact apology for the 
release, which is clearly a multitrack recording, although one that's poorly 
mixed.  I don't mind the vocals, so if HW had the flu, it didn't seem to 
affect the performance any.  The theremin is indeed audible in dribs and 
drabs here and there, proving that it was in fact plugged in.  It's just the 
miserable mix of instrumentation that detracts from what could have been a 
stellar release.  We all know that Dave has been mixing himself lower and 
lower over time, but KOS is the apex of that approach, where his guitar 
almost ceases to exist for much of the show, even though it is quite audible 
and lovely for Robot, for example.  Now if we could just get that Roadburn 
show released....
