ROB SEZ:  If you like a feisty lead singer delivering your Pylon art-punk vocals, look no further. Vanessa growls and screeches impressively here. HUGE thanks to the kind trader who shared this with me. He prefers to remain anonymous, and told me this is a copy of the soundboard master. As received, I only needed to split and tag the tracks, normalize, apply fades, remove dead spots, and apply one pass of modest eq to bring the high frequencies into better balance. No compression and no noise reduction were used in this edit. 

  

This recording had a couple of anomalies: it's missing the first few seconds of the opening song, and an oddly-placed cut resulted in only a minute-ish of track 04 being captured and just a bit more of track 05. I applied fades judiciously to preserve as much music as I could. All other tracks are full song renditions.

  

This is my last post in the Pylon mini flood. I hope someone enjoyed it; it's been awfully quiet in the comments department lately.
