Hasse let's you in on the facts
TANGLED UP IN NORWAY – Sonic Residue
SR-20002, commented by Hasse:
This
not an official Tangle Edge release, but an illegal bootleg we suddenly found
out were distributed in USA and Europe(and maybe other parts of the world). We
do believe that we have traced it`s origins to Norway and I have a suspicion
about who`s the responsible. However, the recording on this CD is not taken from
Verdensteatret in Narvik in 1981 as stated on the tray, but from our concert at
Take Two in Sheffield, UK on July 6th 1990, although you never know
if the error could be intentional. There are many copies of Sheffield tapes circulating on the
illegal market, because the concert was recorded both by our own man Jan Inge
Sommerseth and one of the organizers of the event. Two of the songtitles are
fake; “Riding On Hyakutake Pt. I & II” is “Transcription From An
Unknown Decade`s End” and “Room Of
The Curtains” is “Walk Of The Frozen Ones” (parts 2-4). The artwork is fairly
alright, I must say, all in the spirit of Tangle Edge sleeves, although a bit
unprofessionally executed. Also, the sound quality is listenable, but the speed
is not accurate. Because this is a bootleg, we do not receive any money from
it`s sales, so I should not really advise anybody to buy it, but knowing from
myself; if you like the music, you`ll buy it anyway.
