For what it's worth, there was no DI Bass recorded during the Pachyderm sessions. There may have been overdubbed bass added to some songs later, but I don't know which ones.

I am enjoying the irony of a record leaking like this, to great interest, when the original record company position was that it was an un-listenable record and nobody would like it.

I haven't heard these leaked files, so I don't know if they're legit, but there's no reason to think they aren't.

Maybe this type of thing could be a new source of revenue for the ailing majors ?

Now you can redeem yourself.

Courtney Love definitely needs that money more than Electrical Audio.

Also, there is no God.

Who would've thought in 1993 music being recorded on 2 inch tape on some big ass machine and a big ass Neve board would someday end up on someones flash drive being mixed on a laptop.

I like to pretend that all of your IP addresses are being logged so the legal crew can come rip you all some new assholes.

Yeah, its definitely not a DI. I'm pretty sure its just the different mics on the cabinet. Its the same with the guitar, multiple mics per take. By varying the levels of the different mics and using the phase invert there's an endless combination of possible guitar tones, without touching EQ. Who would've thought? Why use artificial reverb? Just stick a room mic 20 feet back etc. There's a lot that can be learned from these.

I'm wondering about the drums. Which tracks require M/S decoding? There's overhead, close room and far room pairs...


Can anyone think of the common denominator is between all of these different multitracks? Different artists, labels, studio's, producers, genres, Now there's some NIN, I heard it through the grapevine and Def Leopard.

Yes 48 tracks background vocals!

At some point, someone decided to make digital work copies of the masters, either for remixing for release or for use in soundtracks or whatever. As soon as the reels were sent off to the cheapest studio the intern could find in the yellow pages, the later leaking of these files became certain.

Yeah, man. Surveillance! Corporate interest! Yay!
