Release Notes:

SUPPORT QUALITY !
SUPPORT LAME 3.99.5 !

Why ? There are bugs which affect quality in LAME 3.98.4, and it's a so old codec (March 22 2010).
LAME 3.99.5 fix those bugs.
	* Bug fix for tracker item [ 3486753 ] Artifacts at the beginning of decoded file
	* Fix: for free format mp3 above 320 kbps, the maximum allowed bits was limited too far.
	* Changes in new VBR code:
		- tuning on PSY model
		- tuning on VBR scale and resulting bitrates
		- Minor bug fix for sfb21 encoding
	* All encoding modes use the PSY model from new VBR code, addresses Bugtracker item [ 3187397 ]
	Strange compression behavior

And... another stupid thing about LAME 3.98.4 Rules.
WEB release with 3.99.5 LAME is not NUKE, but the same release from retail CD with
3.99.5 LAME is.

In March 2012 Asian Dub Foundation main man Steve Savale received a call from
London based interactive film company Secret Cinema. Their founder Fabien Rigall
had been inspired  when he had attended the first ever screening of ADFs live
soundtrack to the classic film La Haine at London's Barbican Art Centre and
subsequent screenings for David Bowie at Bowies London Meltdown Festival. Rigall
spoke about his love of the event  and his long time wish to  recreate it.The
proposal. A screening of La Haine with ADF  at the notorious Broadwater Farm
Estate in North London on the eve of the London Mayoral elections.The previous
summer an incident involving the fatal shooting of a Broadwater Farm resident by
the police had started a riot that had got out of control and spread all over
the country. Similarities to La Haines story of a post riot scenario on a
deprived housing estate were obvious. The police and local council considered
the event too dangerous and tried to ban it.In a short space of time the
soundtrack would have to be recreated and that it would need the musicians who
had played on the earlier events. Original bass player and ADF founding member
Dr Das and drummer Rocky Singh hadn't played in the band for many years.They
were contacted with a proposal  and agreed it was  an opportunity they couldn't
refuse.During rehearsals the vibe between the reunited musicians was
obvious.They were really enjoying playing together again.The event went ahead
under heavy security and the vibe and reaction was electric. Two more sold out
shows followed. One at London's Troxy (1000 tickets sold in an hour after the
show was announced) and the next night a show at La Trianon in Paris on the eve
of the French Presidential elections. La Haines director Mathieu Kassovitz was
engaged in a media spat with President Sarkozy and the event polarised the
debate with live digital media projected onto the screen before the film
started.Sarkozy was voted out and it felt like history was happening in and
around it.Kassovitz introduced the event by Skype from Los Angeles.Both shows
had an electric atmosphere and at the end of the film the band played on..It
felt like something special was being reborn. Further shows were added at UK's
Wilderness and Leeds Festivals.

The newly reformed lineup kept rehearsing. With a fantastic spirit around the
events  it seemed natural that this should be the start of creating new
material. Dr Das and Rocky Singh were now back full time and an approach was
made to legendary English producer Adrian Sherwood to join the project. He had
last worked with ADF on the bands biggest album Enemy Of The Enemy. He agreed
that the material and the ideas were something he could work on with a clear
vision. Recording began on the new album - æThe Signal And The Noise'.

Everything had seemed like it was meant to happen. Former vocalist Ghetto Priest
returned and with Aktarvata and amazing flute boxer Nathan Lee all feeling the
vibe the chemistry was complete. The  first show with the reborn band was in
Paris at Festival Chorus.Many long term ADF  fans had got news of something
special going on, came to see the show and agreed that this was a major return
to form. Seven more shows since and this has been more than confirmed.

ADF are back and as powerful as ever.
