With this live album I have finished half of their entire work on this site. And for a live album this was excellent. Some of the tracks like Idioteque as well Everything In It's Right Place brought into a live context actually are more jaw dropping than their studio counterpart. Now the only thing that would be a negative for this album would be how the live crowd was spliced through the entire record and had a flawless flow. Because from the first three tracks I was stunned that not only did it transition nicely but those performance where from other places. Grade wise:90

Love the dark oppressive air of this one. Dark, relentless & confident. It's The Terminator of hip hop albums. Love the kung fu preludes as well!!! Used to great effect especially on the first two tracks. The production & beats are totally my jam.

While this certainly lives up to it's title, it's droneniness is rather hypnotizing in a way. Especially on "Hitting The Pavement", I got really caught up in the whole thing; it turned out to be almost soothing. This album's four tracks could be more properly named though.
"Blue" Gene Tyranny- Out of The Blue
Hanne Hukkelberg- Rykestrasse 68
Stara Rzeka - Cieล chmury nad ukrytym polem
Enno Velthuys - Vreemde Landen, Vol. 1
Brighter Death Now - Necrose Evangelicum
Deep Puddle Dynamics - The Taste of Rain... Why Kneel?
Arcane Device- Trout
The Conet Project (This is almost 5 hours long, so keep that in mind)
Killing Joke- Hosannas from The Basements of Hell
Koenjihyakkei - Viva Koenji!!
While I do think this is a great record and realistically sounds and feels like an album for autumn, it doesn't move me compared to some of the albums I have in my top 20 for this year. But if you want a record to chill and relax or use for early morning drinking coffee, this is a record for you.
Grade:85

Also want to add that 2001 is halfway done. Are you guys interested in a poll of the next year I tackle?
P.S. If I don't post as quickly, it probably making levels for Mario Maker 2. I got six levels so far. If you have a Switch and the game send me a Private Message for my levels.

"Arcane Device is the project of David Myers to release his experimental works with manipulated feedback processing. Myers invented his own machine for feedback and started releasing his first experimental works in 1987."
While that sounds very interesting, the album it made is not exactly that riveting. There are some cool textures on the album, but it doesn't result in much of an emotional connection between the listener and the music.
