Gary Barrett (alfienoakes on Dime) RIP

Gary was a well-known figure in the Glasgow music scene, after working in A1 Sounds / Fopp and Avalanche Records for over 20 years. He also promoted a few shows in the mid 80s.
When minidisc technology emerged, he immediately set himself up for recording and began chronicling all the gigs he attended. This is a record of all the existing MD’s I found in his massive music collection, which his brother asked me to transfer on to hard drive.
Gary passed away suddenly from natural causes in Sept 2006, ironically just after he purchased his first HD recorder and only got to record 2 shows with (Green On Red at King Tut’s being the last one).
Big thanks to jamroom for taking over this project and the many dimebots who have helped him in this massive endeavour. This MD Project is a tribute to Gary's passion for live music and supporting local and small touring bands.

Gig Notes:

This particular Solaris show doesn't sound anything like the released version, so any help with the setlist would be appreciated. The first track is mainly Harold Budd with a piano piece. This is a low volume piece, but I didn't see the point of artificially boosting the volume for it. The crowd are reasonably reverential, so very little extraneous noise. Track 4 is a spoken word piece from Wobble. Disc change was during the encore applause.

Recording notes and sound quality:

Added fades and boosted the volume by +5db. In order to do this, I had to hard limit the wave spikes caused by the bass in track 5. Either that or no volume boost. Sounds fine, but if any real experts want a go...
