Back in 2011 Neil from Vibracathedral Orchestra posted on the Fangs&Arrows forum that he was having a clear out of a large collection of VCO live recordings and demo/practice sessions that ranged from 1998 to 2005. A few people chipped in to take them off his hands and do whatever they want with them. I got my hands on about 6 CDR’s and 8 cassette tapes from Neil and eventually I’ve managed to get the cassettes released. Since the tapes were haphazardly labeled I’ve included whatever data was on the tapes and what Neil can recall. I haven’t transferred the CDR’s yet as some were damanged with disc rot and may take longer to fix up.

hey, some of these don’t work when I try and unzip… any chance of a re-up?
What ones are you having problems with so I can reup them?
can’t download Tape 1. it keeps saying. “temporary error, retrying” tried several times, no luck
Late comer to this blog, but would love to hear tapes 2, 7 & 8, which if you have the bandwidth to re-up them..
Reposted the links to tapes 2, 7 & 8. All should be working now.
What a shot in the arm this was, thanks. I followed them heavily when they were breaking and these are treasures from that period. Thank for putting them up! Beautiful stuff!
