Michael Schenker Group/UK 11.22.1982 Remastered

“Audience recording” and “Professional recording”. Wouldn’t you like to listen to a live album that captures the best of each recording method, each with its own unique appeal? In recent years, the first thing that comes to mind is matrix discs made by IEMs, but even before that, there have been sound sources that can be called “professional audience recordings” (although they are very rare). This work is a live album that captures THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP from the era of their masterpiece “Apocalypse” with such a “delicious sound”. This work is a latest remaster of the blockbuster hit “ROCK YOU TO THE GROUND”! What is “professional audience recording”? In fact, there are various types, such as microphone recording by broadcast stations, microphone recording attached to the stage floor, recording by members for meetings, etc. Under such circumstances, the recording method for this work is “ambient microphone recording placed on a PA table”. Speaking of the PA console, it is the “core of the acoustics” where the engineer controls the overall acoustics. This is the position with the best acoustics and where you can most accurately grasp not only the band’s performance, but also the characteristics of the venue. This work is packed with the sounds of the “No. 1 seat at the venue”, which allows you to monopolize the best sound than anyone else while approaching the essence of a live performance! Although this work is classified as an “audience recording”, the clarity of the sound, the details and clear sound of all the instruments are wonderful, setting it apart from the audience recording. Tapers all over the world are desperately trying to capture how the output sound from the amplifier resonates in the venue and reaches the audience, and it has been recorded with ease. It is a recording that has the taste and reality of microphone recording, but is full of the frightening taste of leaking the people involved. Having said that, the master was recorded in one shot with a microphone. There were some scenes where the microphone was misaligned and the sound wavered. This work overcomes the shortcomings of such masters with digital remastering and has been completed as a definitive edition. Michael Schenker in his heyday is completely recorded in the “staff recording” rather than the “audience recording”. The exquisite sense of time is clear and clear, and the tone of crying is extremely delicate. With a band without a star player, we can’t expect the same kind of battles that we had with Cozy Powell, but to begin with, Michael is a guitarist who shines more through his internal “immersion” than his external “confrontation.” The most important thing is to know exactly who the main character is and to surround him with members who know how to make him shine. Especially if you are more concerned about “MSG than UFO”, you will understand the meaning of this. Another point of “UFO Yori MSG” is the “song.” UFO, where the Schenker melody erupts from groovy rock roll, is also wonderful, but MSG’s songs, which specialize in a sense of structure and dynamism, place the Schenker melody directly in the center of attention. It’s a show that unfolds one after another. This is why MSG live shows are so special! And the “Apocalypse Tour” is also special. The “Infinite Battle” tour is also popular as the final result of MSG, but it also includes “Melody of the Sun” to some extent. However, on the “Apocalypse Tour,” you can listen to only the “essence of darkness” in abundance. All the songs are a show filled with a tight sense of construction and a deep cry, and it comes out overflowing without any gaps. Even in the entire career of the genius guitarist, there is no one like the live show where you can cry deeply while performing a wide variety of songs. Moreover, it was preserved using a very special recording method called “professional audience recording”. Of course, the only people who can appreciate this taste and true value may be those who have a sensibility that captivates Schenker’s melodies and are burdened with the burden of being a sound source enthusiast. If so, I would like those people to listen to it by all means. Live at the Gaumont, Southampton, UK 22nd November 1982 PERFECT/TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 1. Intro 2.
