These are awesome, especially Jungle! So, how do I download these?  I tried adding the Soundcloud Downloader on Chrome, but I can't see to get the files to actually download.

 

Nevermind, I just figured it out and am loving these!!!

How' you figure it out?

Which songs and how did they sound like?

He is talking about the remix album with Silkworms on it, San Juan 2010 proshot, Japan 2009, and The General.

MSL is hoarding all of this stuff.

The original Anything Goes is sooooooo much better man.

[Stress Fracture]

It helps that I can’t quite make out what the original lyrics are in the verses. The rewrite ended up being the lyrical lowpoint on AFD by some distance.

It’s the only song on the album that never gets played live and still I never see anyone asking for it.

Just wanted to add my thanks to troccoli. Absolutely awesome mate.

[money honey]

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of making this available to everyone. An amazing thing for the community.

Why was this post edited to exclude a mention of MSL? I'm not trying to start shit; just an honest question.

[AncientEvil80]

Fantastic. Thanks a million, man... 

[31illusions]

Thanks for the upload. It's easy to download these by the way. Good to hear these in HQ.

I won't say who had them or what they were exactly, but I will say that The General was not one of the songs sadly.  This person did not have Atlas Shrugged either

How do you figure it's fair game?  I posted it on Soundcloud for a reason, read the 3rd post above.  Don't get me wrong, on a personal level I don't care and have nothing against you or Frans.  And I have no idea if GNR will care.  But if they do, they might not care as long as it's not downloadable.  Of course there are ways of getting around it, but just because you can doesn't mean that you should.  On the flip side if they do care and make it all get taken down, or even if someone just finds a runaround like Frans did and is able to download (in original quality) well then you can understand if no one does anything like this in the future when they come across gems like this.  For example I was privy to listen to unreleased GNR tracks in someone's hotel room during the last residency.  We also got to see pro shot footage from Puerto Rico (2009 or 2010) and pro shot footage of a soundcheck by the band with either Tommy or Bumble singing mot of the songs.  It was all with the understanding that no was recording it to be released later.  Hopefully you see what I am saying here. 

Also when tweaked are you "improving" it really?  The raw sound is about the experience of it.  You can argue that cds improved the sound of vinyl (I don't mean the technical side of things, but I ma talking about the hiss, etc., those cool weird little sounds that happen when you play vinyl), but again it makes the experience different (keep in mind this comment is coming from someone that was raised on cds, I have never even owned a record player).  Live Era is another example where the audio was tweaked, and many have a problem with it.  Personally I don't but I can see their side.  There was a reason I had a professional transfer this at the highest quality possible.  We could have tweaked it as well but that betrays the rawness of it IMO.

So I have since found out that SoundCloud only allows you to upload in 128kbps Mp3 format for streaming purposes.  I think this is true regardless of options, but supposedly if the uploader allows downloads the quality is better.  That doesn't really matter anyway since I chose  the option that doesn't allow downloads.  And, from what I understand and have learned, it will only allow a maximum download of the same quality if not less.  Therefore I suppose my entire argument here was a moot point!

Glad all of you have liked the tracks, imagine what they sound like in full 24/96 FLAC!

First of all thanks for sharing this,maybe can you tell us what tape deck did your friends use(or complete line age) i personally downloaded this into my laptop with a rip program and i want to ask you why does the title says 24/96 wich in fact when downloading this you will get 128 kb/s mp3,this makes me wonder does soundcloud compress the sound or you intentionally uploded like this?

PS.i didn't read your last post,hence the questions!

The transfer was done by a pro w/ pro equipment.  The raw files I have are in fact 24/96 FLAC.  SoundCloud auto downgrades to 128, especially if you check the box not allowing downloads.  Even if I didn't check that I heard that SoundCloud only allows downloads in 128 as well.

With the right software you can download them in whatever format you want, including FLAC.

SoundCloud streams the files in 128 kbps mp3 format, but the lossless files are up for grabs as downloads if you know what to do.

[colonizedmind]

Love all the old demos and mixes! I would love a whole bunch of the Chinese stuff to leak now, all the mixes and demos, I suspect we only have a tiny fraction of what exists out there! 

[conjurer]

THANK YOU!!!! Wow...this is fan-fucking-tastic!

Yes, I have since been told the same.  Well I guess I can go back to being perturbed then at the person that posted it on YouTube!

lol, true!  Nah, I'm just messing around.  As long as the band doesn't have an issue with it, and so far they don't I suppose, then it's cool with me of course!
