All restoration carried out in iZotope RX 7 on flac files of 'From Pangaea To Agharta and Somewhere In-Between' (Zipperdeke ZIP 011). These are two 'bonus tracks' on the second disc of that set. [See here for bootleg info: http://bootlegpedia.com/en/product/ZIP_011 - the disc otherwise contains the Carnegie Hall set that forms Dark Magus, but with less of the music present than the original release...]

Removal of high freq. spikes from 15kHz upwards.
Gentle noise reduction.
EQ adjustment to clear a little of the mud in the original and bring out the non-percussive instruments.

The sound is mixed quite percussion and bass heavy, though you can still hear guitars, keys and horns and the EQ has helped with that. The audience recording copy that I have has little over 15k (though it is, apparently, losslessly sourced) and has a harsh, brittle sound to it. If anyone does have a better version I'd love to get hold of it!

The music comes entirely from the second set of the first concert.
