ReplyDeleteThere is an inconsistence in the downloaded files: the record has eight tracks, but the download contains nine tracks. Two of them are tagged as "A3 Taksim", but one of them actually seems to consist of two tracks. So I thought it might be A3 and A4 together, but the spectral of the second part look very different (I haven't listened to the tracks yet) from the separate one of A4. Could you check?
Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. I just corrected the issue by removing the extra file. Take good care.
