Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded over two nights at the Marquee Club in London, this intense double album perfectly captures the desperately underrated post-punk band at the height of their live powers. Adrian Borland's famously tortured, impassioned vocal performances slice through the driving, darkly atmospheric rhythm section, summarizing their frantic emotional core.
