Description
In 1996, Sting showed his continued presence in the scene with his ambitious work “MERCURY FALLING” and embarked on the biggest world tour of his career. A new masterpiece that allows you to experience the best performance in Japan is now available. What is infused into this work is the “September 25, 1996: Osaka Castle Hall” performance. This is the best audience recording. This is a sound source that has only recently been released, and is a masterpiece of the ultimate generation that was digitized directly from the original DAT master. Before we look at the quality, first of all, the position of the show. Speaking of “MERCURY FALLING Tour”, the sound board masterpieces “ROCK AM RING 1996” and “HOUSTON 1996: PRE-FM MASTER” are also familiar. Let’s take a look at the overview of the activities at that time and check the positional relationship between them. 1996・February 15th to March 5th: Promotion (3 performances)《March 8th “MERCURY FALLING” released》》・March 9th to June 18th: Europe #1 (57 performances)←*ROCK AM RING 1996 ・June 21st to September 8th: North America #1 (56 performances)←*HOUSTON 1996・September 21st to October 1st: Japan (8 performances) ←★Here★ ・October 4th to 16th: Asia (8 performances) ・October 19th to November 11th: Oceania (18 performances) ・November 17th to December 22nd: Europe #2 (27 performances) 1997 January 13th Sunday to February 8th: Europe #3 (20 performances) February 28th to March 6th: North America #2 (6 performances) June 20th to July 13th: Europe #4 (12 performances) 30 years ago is realistically revived, a newly discovered original DAT master This is the 1996/1997 Sting. “Europe #1” and “North America #1” at the beginning of the tour had an unusually busy schedule of more than 110 performances in about six months, but after that they landed in Japan with about two weeks off. The Osaka performance of this work is the fourth performance of this work. It was a stage that relieved the fatigue of the tour and raised the spirits of a restart. This work, which conveys such a show, is a fresh yet profound superb audience recording. It is a DAT recording that has been released only recently, and the freshness of being digitized directly from the original master is tremendous. Of course, there are no dubbing marks, and there is no deterioration over time, and it is as fresh as if it was recorded yesterday. The most important recording is the type that allows you to fully enjoy the “beauty that only the audience can experience.” Of course, the texture itself cannot be mistaken for a sound board, but the extremely thick core and the vividness of the outline are close to FM broadcast quality. Then, lively cheers and Sting’s singing voice rained down. Moreover, the sound of the hall does not obscure the details, but rather adds depth and dynamism to the performance. The sound, which even has the majesty of a church organ, is a beautiful recording that embodies the “aesthetics that can only be created by shooting a single space.” A full set that is similar to, but different from, a soundboard masterpiece.The Japanese version of the “MERCURY FALLING Tour” that excited the world is depicted with such exquisite sound. Our familiar “HOUSTON 1996: PRE-FM MASTER” and “ROCK AM RING 1996” were soundboards, but they were single pieces extracted along the broadcast frame. In that respect, this work is a full show shot in one shot. The number and volume of songs is also important, so organize your sets while comparing them. Mercury Falling (7 songs) ・The Hounds Of Winter / I Hung My Head / I Was Brought to My Senses / Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot (★) / I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying (★★) / You Still Touch Me / Lithium Sunset Others (13 songs + α) ・THE POLICE Number: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic / Synchronicity II / Roxanne / Bring On The Night (When the World Is Running Down)/Demolition Man/Every Breath You Take・Ten Summoners Tales: Seven Days (★)/Fields Of Gold/If I Ever Lose My Faith In You・Others: If You Love Somebody Set Them Free/Mad About You (★)/Englishman In New York/Fragile (★★) A song that is not in “MASTER”. In particular, the songs marked with “★★” are songs that I could not listen to even with “ROCK AM RING 1996”. …and it looks like this. Even larger volume than “HOUSTON 1996” which was longer than “ROCK AM RING 1996”. Aside from the closing “Fragile”, you can also enjoy plenty of delicious and valuable numbers from that time, such as “I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying” and “Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot.” The freshness and vividness of direct connection to the DAT master, and the feeling of rain and real presence that can only be achieved by audience recording. This is a live album where you can fully experience a delicious Japanese performance with such beautiful sounds and famous songs that you could not enjoy on the sound board masterpieces. A new masterpiece from Japan that is truly world-class. The best audience recording of “September 25, 1996: Osaka Castle Hall Performance”. This is an Ultimate Gene product that has been digitized directly from the Omoto DAT Master, which has only recently been released. The extremely thick core and vivid contours approach FM broadcasting, and it is a beautiful recording unique to the audience where Sting’s singing voice pours down. This is a new masterpiece from Japan that includes delicious songs that were not on the classic sound board masterpieces “HOUSTON 1996” and “ROCK AM RING 1996.” Osaka-Jo Hall, Osaka, Japan 25th September 1996 Disc:1 (56:18) 1.
