GET AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN I CLICK ON DECODE

read my last post....you may be hitting the problem I did....it's a right wanker, and like all wanker problems it only affects some people at random.

worst case...get the winamp plugin, and set winamp's output codec to diskwriter.

Worth pointing out that I tried to originally decode these with wavelab and got fuck all but static. in the end I resorted to a commandline in linux.

At last, I got the files to convert to WAV and can play them on pc and mp3 player!!

The problem was when I was when I was adding the FLAC files to FLAC Frontend, it was defaulting to WAV file format and I needed to change the file type to FLAC.

Its amazing to hear how the basoc demos evolved to the greatness that is Technique versions.

yes it's lovely and raw....hooky noodling over premixes and stuff like that....wonderful, don't see the point of "soundcheck recorded from bar next door" tho.

Downloading this now - estimated time 24 bleeding hours! Anyone able to email offlist and post to me on CD ;-)

It went for £204: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4833389128&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT%22Mad, really, as there was no actual evidence it was real. Have tried downloading the torrent at night, and it told me it would take 13-14 hours still, but connected this morning, and got the remaining parts of the files in just two hours. Just listening to it all now. Very interesting hearing how the songs took shape (the demo of Dream Attack is very different to how the song ended up sounding - apart from the drum beat). Wouldn't have paid £204 for it though!

Very selfless of the guy that won the auction to master it and put it on the net!

Andy, it was a group effort to buy that tape. Some like minded souls from another site got together and chipped in about £8 each. The whole point was to get it and share it, not have it disappear into a private collection, if you catch my drift.

What an excellent idea. I guess, as it's not an "official" release with artwork, and is only on a cassette, no one person is too bothered about owning the original cassette (unless whoever does one day decides to sell it on again).

At least this way, lots of people get to hear it.

Downloaded the torrent. excellent stuff

That's amazing, talk about charity. What site are you talking about?
