Kindred Spirit - Spirit Rising
The
live album , "Spirit Rising", is on
sale at gigs. We had been trying to record the band
since the summer of 2000; the band appears much more rarely
and we knew it would make a nice full sound for a live album
as well as give us good demo tracks with which to try
for the festival circuit. We record at live gigs using
an eight track ADAT, which gives a very high quality
result. We learned some valuable lessons from attempting
to record the band and now (despite some
problems with feedback, which also meant that my guitar
had to be turned off in the monitor; making it harder
for us to keep together) we have a series of nail biting
& highly charged tracks (some numbers had never been
played together before and we have moments where Annie's
flute & Sim's violin are duelling in harmony).
There was a particularly memorable moment, during "All
Along The Watchtower", where the mic stand
Annie was playing the flute through began to collapse
and Joey held it up with one hand, while playing the
bass with the remaining hand. As well as Russell's drumming, this will be the first
time the flute, electric guitar & electric violin have been recorded
on a live album. Downloadable clips are available in the table below,
also showing which variable instruments
appear on which track.
