GiGinJapan Artwork of Japanese CDs (mostly) Angra / Nagoya 2002 Dat Master / 2CDR / Shades
Live at Club Diamond Hall, Nagoya, Japan 19th June 2002
Play sample :
ANGRA of the “REBIRTH” era, who welcomed Edu Falaski and performed a splendid revival play. The original recording that allows you to experience the performance in Japan is a new discovery.
“June 19, 2002: Diamond Hall performance” is imbued in this work. It is the thick audience recording. The new excavation “NAGOYA 1998 (Shades 1683)” in the Andre Matos era, which was released the other day, has recorded a smash hit, but the third Japanese performance that was realized four years after this work. First, let’s look back at the schedule.
・June 19: Diamond Hall ← This work
・June 20: Shibuya-AX
・June 21: Shibuya-AX
・June 22: ON AIR OSAKA
・June 24: Hiroshima Club Quattro
A total of 5 performances. 2002 was also Edu’s first visit to Japan, but this work was also the first day of the year. The venue was the same “Diamond Hall” as the previous work “NAGOYA 1998”. This work is a DAT master by the same person as the previous work.
And the sound is also worthy of being called a sister work. If you have experienced “NAGOYA 1998”, you may know the direct feeling that the thick core approaches at zero distance, but this work is very similar. Although the recording position is not transmitted, it is so similar that I wonder if it was recorded from the same place. It is the vocal that sounds quite different in such a situation. However, this is a big difference in vocalists rather than recording quality. Perhaps Edu’s voice is thicker than Andre’s, as he pushes his way through the ensemble and comes forward. It sounds even thicker and thicker than that wonderful “NAGOYA 1998”.
The full show of the reborn ANGRA is depicted with such direct sound. Speaking of live performances during this period, the official live work “REBIRTH WORLD TOUR: LIVE IN SAO PAULO” comes to mind first, but the set of this work is similar and different. Let’s sort it out by comparing.
● After joining Edu Falaski (9 songs + α)
・Reverse: Nova Era/Acid Rain/Heroes Of Sand/Millennium Sun/Unholy Wars/Rebirth/Running Alone
・Hunters and Prey: Bleeding Heart (★) / Hunters And Prey (★)
● Andre Matos era (6 songs + α)
・Angels Cry: Angels Cry/Carry On
・Holy Land: Make Believe/Nothing To Say
・Other: Metal Icarus / Reaching Horizons (★)
* Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard on the official “REBIRTH WORLD TOUR: LIVE IN SAO PAULO”.
… and it looks like this. The official “REBIRTH WORLD TOUR” was recorded at the end of 2001, but this work is half a year later. The EP “HUNTERS AND PREY” released in the meantime was picked up, and “Reaching Horizons”, which Rafael plays quietly, is also shown. Especially delicious is “Hunters And Prey”. It is a limited song only for this tour, and it also comes with an intro in which all members hit percussion, and you can enjoy it with a large song arrangement that exceeds 9 minutes.
More powerful, more progressive. It is a live album where you can experience the fresh full show of the newly reborn ANGRA. This work itself is a masterpiece of a live album with delicious songs that cannot be heard on the official “REBIRTH WORLD TOUR”, and when combined with the masterpiece “NAGOYA 1998”, you can experience the scene before and after the change at the same venue and the same recording artist collection. It’s a great item. A new masterpiece from Japan that boasts to the world. Please enjoy it to the fullest.
★ The best audience recording of “June 19, 2002: Diamond Hall Performance”. A very thick zero-distance sound that is very similar in quality to the masterpiece “NAGOYA 1998 (Shades 1683)” from the Andre Matos era, at the same venue and from the same recording artist collection. It’s a masterpiece that sounds like it’s even more direct with Edu’s voice quality. “Reaching Horizons,” “Bleeding Heart,” and “Hunters And Prey,” which cannot be heard in the official live work “REBIRTH WORLD TOUR,” can also be experienced in a delicious full show.
