Italian pirate recording edited in February in two formats: CD and Picture Disc. Only 1000 copies of the Picture Disc were edited. This was the second time a bootleg recording was edited in two formats (after "Live in Mónaco") and it is the first one which includes a Spanish concert. The concert took place in the "Palacio de Deportes" in Madrid on 6/16/93 and it was broadcasted by TVE (a spanish TV).
The Picture Disc does not contain four of the songs (6-9) of the CD and has a different design. The CD is the first one made of centre fold punching cardboard. The design of the two formats is very good.
The song "Decadencia" does not belong to the concert but to the European CD single of "Sirena Varada", recorded in Europe in 1993. This song appears also in the pirate recordings "Hologramas perdidos", "Azulejos" and "Concerts B-sides Demo Remix".
Finally, let us say that the sound is quite good because it was taken directly from the TV recording. It is hard to find even at a high price.
There is a reedition of the year 2000 with a different design of the covers.

 

 

"EN DIRECTO"

1.- Mar adentro / 2.- No más lágrimas / 3.- La visión de vuestras almas / 4.- Hace tiempo / 5.- El estanque / 6.- Olvidado / 7.- La lluvia gris (mix del deseo) / 8.- Hace tiempo (aqua-marina mix)

German CD very looked forward due to the desire of getting the official copy. That was the reason why it was sold like the last one because of the mistake in the book.
This recording has a more than official theme: "Hace tiempo". Not everybody agrees in wheter it belongs to the same concert (9/9/89) or not.
At the end we find two remixes made by (according to what is written in the CD) an "elf called novi" although they are not of great quality.

1.- Fuente esperanza (Nuestros nombres) / 2.- Hace tiempo / 3.- Despertar / 4.- Oración / 5.- Entre dos tierras / 6.- Mar adentro / 7.- Hechizo / 8.- Olvidado / 9.- Decadencia

(The names in bold style are the true ones,and the other are the names that are writen in the CD)

This CD contains the 8 first songs of "El grito". "Hechizo" and "Olvidado" were together in the same track. It is the same concert that appears in "Oracion".
On the back side of the CD it is written that the concert took place in Amsterdam (4/2/93) but that is not for sure.
This is the first pirate recording were a picture of the band appears on the cover. As a curiosity let us say that the CD has a golden surface.

LEGEND: "pe"--> Proceso Entrópico (Enrique Bunbury: bass & vocals)   
                  "lcdlc"-->La censura de los cuentos (Enrique Bunbury: guitar, bass & vocals)    
                  "hds"-->Héroes del Silencio

Important pirate recording for the history of the group where former recordings of the songs are included. We can find here also some songs from other groups previous to HdS (in all of them Enrique used to play).
The sound of the recording changes depending on the song because some of the recordings are made in the studio and others in concerts or recording studios.
Another curiosity is that "La Decadencia" has the same current lyrics but the melody is different except in the beginning which is really curious!
Among the 22 songs, some of them are repeated, for example "Metamorfosis" (live), "La Decadencia" y "El ciudadano". "Olvidado" is repeated too but in different versions. The same happens with "El mar no cesa" (one of the versions in EP Emy) and "Heroe de leyenda" (in EP, too).
At the end of the CD there are 3 tracks called "Demo-pulse" about which Enrique himself said (literally): "stupid mix made in the recording. Thank God it was never edited". Maybe you have already noticed it.
It is specified in the CD that some songs are "Zumo de vidrio" (bottled juice), which is not true and that some songs had been accelerated.
Finally, let us say that this Bootleg have been reedited by Kobra Records (ref. KEH 03) without any significatives changes.

This recording is the same as "Senda 91" but the song "Decadencia" has been changed in order. Besides, three remixes have been made by the pirate (I guess) which are not really important.
The best thing is the hand-made design of the cover which the whole simbology of the group at that time.

(The names in bold style are the true ones,and the other are the names that are writen in the CD)

Excellent bootleg from Luxemburg of brilliant edition. In short, one of the best pirate recordings of HdS!
It was taken from a concert given in the Halle Oberwerth in Koblenz (Germany) 10/2/93 and broadcasted on TV. The sound is excellent and the design is very good. The transparent box shows a picture of Bunbury who appears also on the cover and at the back. It has a brochure full of photos of the group without Alan (we missed him!). The bad thing is that the photos have not been taken at the concert.
It is the first one which includes "Sirena Varada".

(The names in bold style are the true ones,and the other are the names that are writen in the CD)

Compiled CD of rare versions, B sides, remixes and stuff from HdS. It has a good presentation and sound.
"Oracion" is the same included in "Senda 91". "Decadencia" is the one already included in "El duende en Madrid", "Azulejos" and "Concerts B-sides Demo Remix". "La Alacena" y "Nuestros nombres" (Noel Harrys remix) are from the European CD single "La herida". The other version of "Nuestros hombres" and "Apuesta por el R’n’Roll" are from the European CD single "Nuestros nombres". "El mar no cesa" y "Heroe de leyenda" are from the EP of Emy. "La sirena varada" and "Flor venenosa" are recorded on "MTV's Most Wanted" 3/23/94 where Enrique is wearing a beard with the JC manner. In the last two songs the sound is a bit worse because of a buzzing sound in the background.
In 1995, it was reedited by "BOB Records" with some little changes in the design.
