I've used what I felt were the best versions based on audio quality, not necessarily performance quality.

All songs have had most banter cut off from the start and end and have also had a small amount of fading in and out on tracks.

Rivers We Can't Cross had a mistake by Billy, so I edited out the 20 seconds or so of him trying to restart the song. It's a clumsy edit, but I'm no pro
Chrysanthemum had some really loud audience noise in parts and I tamed them a little by reducing the volume in these places.

I decided not to normalise these files, but if you burn to a CD you might want to use the CD burning software's setting for normalising to make all the songs have roughly the same volume.

All files are freely available in their original form from many places including the-zomb.com and archive.org.

This compilation has some great songs but pretty average audio quality on most of them.

This is the first of my compilations. Any song you wish was on here will be on one of the others...
These compilations will have to do until someone somewhere releases some studio or soundboard copies of these songs.

If you convert these to MP3 please don't convert those MP3s back to FLAC as quality will be lost and people will download huge FLAC files thinking they are lossless but they will be MP3 quality but 5 times the file size.

All files except (09) are from Archive.org. (09) is from Zwan 2003-06-06 Mixwell (13) version.

Files were converted from FLAC > WAV, edited with WavePad, then converted back to FLAC. Conversions done with DBPowerAmp.

Version 1.1!
Fixed Chrysanthemum (corrupt file)
Fixed The Shining Path (badly edited)
Added tags to files

Zwan - True Poets of Zwan

Unfortunately I can't upload the studio tracks listed here (with asterisks) as that would be piracy. I'm sure everyone can source them from their own copy of the DVD and Honestly single or find a link to download them somewhere.

Although not included, I've listed the studio sources where I have them in my compilation.

Zwan - The True Poets of Zwan

01 - *Love Lies in Ruin (DVD studio source)
02 - Spilled Milk (2003-02-14, live in studio (13) remaster)
03 - I Know My Time is Coming (2002-04-08, matrix)
04 - Signal This Strong (2002-04-12, aud)
05 - *My Life and Times (DVD studio source, spliced together from various parts of the DVD)
06 - God's Gonna Set This World on Fire (2002-04-14, aud)
07 - *Freedom Ain't What it Used to Be (studio b-side to Honestly)
08 - *To Love You (DVD studio source)
09 - A Certain Kind of Change (2003-01-22, aud)
10 - Riverview (2003-02-14, live in studio (13) remaster)
11 - *Danger Boy (DVD studio source)
12 - Dust My Broom (2002-12-05, aud)

Banter and crowd noise removed from start/end of songs.
Some small amount of normalizing and amplifying was used on some tracks to even out volume differences.

This is the second Zwan 'album' compilation. The first is 'Crusaders of Rock', which includes mostly earlier Zwan songs, many from the first couple of shows.

The next is Djali Zwan, a collection of acoustic songs...
Pad
All tracks except 10 & 02 were converted from the original FLAC > WAV, edited with WavePad, then converted back WAV > FLAC. Conversions done with DBPowerAmp.

All of these tracks are available from archive.org and/or the-zomb.com.

Tracks 02 & 10 are from the (13) ReExperience of 2003-02-14 called Spilled Milk.

This 'album' is a live compilation of unreleased acoustic Djali Zwan songs.
Audience noise/banter has been removed from the starts and ends of tracks to get this as close to an album experience as possible.

I've also done some very minor editing of some tracks, such as increasing volume in quiet parts and reducing volume in loud audience cheering.
Track 10 has had some mid-song banter removed.

I think I have the best quality versions of all these songs here, but if you have any better sources, please upload them somewhere!

All the original tracks used are freely available from archive.org and the-zomb.com.

All tracks were originally lossless SHN and FLAC.

I converted to WAV to edit with WavePad. Then they were converted to FLAC.
All conversions done with DBPowerAmp and verified.

My editing is exceptionally amateur, so if you can do a better job, please upload it somewhere.

Tracks 01 and 08 are not included in this torrent as they are MP3 sourced.
They can be found on the internet easily though.

All start/end noise/crowd/banter has been removed to make this as close to an 'album' as possible.
Some glitches in the audio, such as very loud audience cheers and the occasional noise have been removed or quietened to reduce distractions.
Mid-song banter from El-A-Noy.
