(((03))) vs. 0)))

"In May of 2007 the mighty SUNN 0))) embarked on a Pacific Rim tour that included performances in Australia and Japan. The lineup for this tour included the core Sunn 0))) duo: Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley plus T.O.S. (Moog), Oren Ambarchi (analog effects and supplemental guitar) and vokillist Attila Csihar. Upon arrival in Sydney,, Sunn 0))) invited one of their favourite black metal artists: Striborg over from Tasmania to collaborate with them during their show. This unholy meeting went over very well and the inaugural ritual was a warm up gig at the Toft In Town club one evening before the larger gig at the Hi-Fi Bar (w/brethren: Boris). The results of this collaboration was a completely improvisational, vicious audio and visual assault on the sold out, standing room only audience. This was among the first time that Sunn 0))) had worked with live drums and the outcome was completely unprecedented. The whole event was recorded live to 24-track/multi-track. Afterwards Oren Ambarchi edited, sequenced and overhauled the EQ to make it as brutal as possible."

I just obtained my copy from a place that sells stuff online (cough...). My ending price, $.99 + $2.00 (s+h). In fact, I've had to go to other sources for my SL items due to the sheer gauge of their shipping ($7 -$8 for one item, which is ludicrous and in most cases 50% of the item price). I'm all for supporting labels, especially ones putting out such grandiose audio but when your shipping is double, triple and even quadruple what it is everywhere else then I have to consider if I want to pay that or put that money toward more music. Guess which of those things wins EVERY time...
