CON-DOM "Nothing" tape
Seeing some of the prices these days can really be annoying. What was this? Wholesale at least was like 6,50 + tax + shipping. Making unit price of wholesale deal closer to 9-10 euro. But well, golden color C-60 tapes with body prints, slipcase and carton cover printed with golden color ink too. All professionally manufactured. So probably they aren't even making much money with this after all. So it's up to customer if you're going to invest the necessary funds to get this. Two live shows, one in German one in Israel. First one appears to be soundboard recording, which provides good solid noise with all the clarity (well - in Con-Dom standards!), but vocals are kind of loud & "pasted on top" feeling. As soon as you get used to it - not bad. Israel show is dirtier, noisier sound, which appears to be like... audio taken from video recording? Not perfect, and you got audience chatting here and there, recording place moves during set, which changes the sound. But vocals blend in nicer. 8th Pillar material gets nice dose of dirt and blurring in live versions. It's been ages since I listened A Prince Of Our Disorder, which includes live material of same songs. But being 1991-1992 recordings, I would assume there is difference in sound and performance? Certainly good for Con-Dom to release this, unfortunately just 100 tapes. The pace how quickly they sold out, maybe 200 for little cheaper price would have been better for all Con-Dom fanatics out there...
