Elephant 6 Orchestra @ Cine 10/7/08

The Elephant 6 Orchestra began their Holiday Surprise tour at Cine. The collective play material from many of their members' projects and the tour gives people outside Athens their best chance in years to catch this many of the players at the same time.

A note on the recording: this is only the first set of the evening. The room acoustics were so bad to my ears that I left at the setbreak; I literally couldn't hear what was going on with the music through large portions on the show. That said, my microphones were a few feet higher than my ears, and the recording was more listenable than I expected. It's still not the greatest recording (I have "mastered" it to extract the goodness from the mud as much as possible), but I thought it may be worth a listen for those who attended, as well as people who won't have a chance to see any of the tour. Song titles are followed by the name of the original artist.
