There is a slightly unpleasant phrase in our business (recording and mixing music):
"Sh1t goes in, sh1t comes out"
I.E there is only so much one can achieve in post production, the delivery has to be there in the first place. HCTB rocked in the studio, it rocks on CD, and it most certainly rocked live.
If I were to base my 'fandom' purely on HCTB and the NEC gig alone I'd be converted... it just so happens than Meat has a massive back-catalogue of amazing studio and live work that rivals anyone else out there. He's a one of a kind.
