SIRMick Notes (2006-01):  
--this is a remaster of shnid 5439
--I have repaired a great many very small dropouts which occurred mostly on d1 and d3
--the static that is present in d1t03 has been greatly reduced
--the static that was present in d1t04 has been removed
--the intermittent static in d2t08-d2t12 hs been reduced so that it is now almost inaudible   
--the following patches have been made using the source seeded by David Hollister (shnid=19525):  
--------d1t08:  2:05-2:20
--------d3t06:  1:52-1:54, 3:57-4:05
--------d4t05:  4:35-4:425
--a number of volume adjustments have been made
--some noise reduction has been applied
--remastering done with iZotope Oxone and Waves plugins
--d1t05 has large dropouts at 0:31 for 1 second and at 2:37 for 8.5 seconds which are not repairable.  
--I re-tracked d2 and also decided to leave Lovelight as one glorious chunk of music!

It was formerly known as "Armory Gymnasium"...it is also known as "DuPont Gym";  "MIT Dupont Gymnasium";  "MIT Armory"  
--the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) was founded in 1861 by William Barton Rogers
