Consider
these first episodes to be a soft launch of pilot tests as we shake down various
technical issues. As we get the kinks worked out, we'll be bringing in
additional features and special guests.
Anyone have a chance to hear Niko Bolas’s new Landing On Water masters from the original tapes? Loudness was not an issue with his first attempt at bringing the album to NYA. But these new files are maybe a bit more full sounding. A great record becomes a tad more listenable. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteNot enough controversy to get a reply on this topic, so let me just add that the plan for the timespan covered in Archives Vol. 3 will go from Spring ‘76 through Summer 2026 for a nice round number of fifty years covered.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear Mark talk on about his shows and speculations, though I'm pretty sure he was conflating the 1997 Ham Sandwich incident with the start of his 1987 summer horse tour! As I am wont to, I figured I would chime in on what I've heard on Vol3 as well. So we have 13 disks, CDs presumably. The organization will be a bit different than the timeline linear Vol1. Neil is creating new albums which are expected to center on "fresh tracks" or unheard and mostly original versions. So don't expect to hear the versions of Comes A Time or Hey Hey My My that you already know. This one won't be a retrospective. So that is different. And we do know how it will start and what the first 5 or six disks will be. Where it will end is a guess. Neil has given us two dates to ponder. 1)Early 1990 and 2)1987. So based on what I have been able to gather to date, here is my latest speculation. And Neil seems to be clamping down on providing further information.

Disk8: Old Ways (1983-1985) [Confirmed as a Vol3 disk]
