Roulette Dares (The Haunt of) 1/17/10 drummer: David Elitch 9/17/09 drummer: Thomas Prigden Houston notes: The final matrix is approximately a 50/50 mix of the two sources, however the second source (AT831) is an incomplete source due to battery problems. The first 15 minutes have both sources, followed by about 8 1/2 minutes of just the DPA source. Then another 10 minutes with both sources, followed by 3 minutes of just the DPA source. Then there is another 5 minutes with both sources, and the rest of the recording after that is just the DPA source. I guess I hate to let a good source go to waste, even if it is woefully incomplete.
