RELEASE NOTES


AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The San Francisco Bay Area rock scene of
the late '60s was one that encouraged radical experimentation
and discouraged the type of mindless conformity that's often
plagued corporate rock. When one considers just how different
Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and the Grateful Dead
sounded, it becomes obvious just how much it was encouraged.
In the mid-'90s, an album as eclectic as Abraxas would be
considered a marketing exec's worst nightmare. But at the dawn
of the 1970s, this unorthodox mix of rock, jazz, salsa and
blues proved quite successful. Whether adding rock elements to
salsa king Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va," tembracing
instrumental jazz-rock on "Incident at Neshabur" and "Samba Pa
Ti" or tackling moody blues-rock on Fleetwood Mac's "Black
Magic Woman," the band keeps things unpredictable yet
cohesive. Many of the Santana albums that came out in the '70s
are worth acquiring, but for novices, Abraxas is an excellent
place to start. [Columbia/Legacy's 1998 reissue of Abraxas
featured three previously unreleased tracks — "Se A Cabo,"
"Toussaint L'Overture," "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" —
which were all recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall on April
18, 1970.]


WHAT'S FAF?


FAF releases are not about the quantity of releases, nor speed.
FAF is strictly about Quality. How many times have you downloaded
that album you really wanted only to find out it pops and skips
throughout the entire rip. The ripper never bothered to listen to
his release or use good software. Well, we decided not to bitch
and do something about it. Any Audio Release you see from us
will be ripped with Exact Audio Copy (EAC) and encoded with
the LAME mp3 plugin for maximum compression quality
(it doesn't get any better than this, we've tested them all).
Unlike most other audio extracters EAC uses a "Secure" reading
method. This means that all audio sectors are read at least twice
(other ripping programs read it only one time).
When a read error occurs EAC will reread the audio data up to 82x
to get the correct data. EAC takes significantly longer to rip a
cd because of this precision, and that is the price we are
willing to pay to bring you the highest quality music. For people
wanting the best rips possible this is not a problem, but for
those others ripping and shipping so they can "win the race":
this program is not for you. The best thing about EAC is that
it's free and part of the open MP3 movement.
We don't want to hide the technology we use, if anything we are
going to encourage you to use it.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP


-Start by learning to use EAC and LAME.
-Support your local music and club scene, after all when they
become famous you can tell your kids that you saw them in some
shitty club when they were nobodies.
-Don't be afraid to question the way things are,
push the envelope.
