“Perhaps my personal favourite of all The Pink Dots live documents. Essentially a mixed bag of very decent recordings of shows in Rennes, Munich and France in the 80s with an extended section focusing on an improvised show at the famous NL Centrum in Amsterdam – a monumental landmark in the city’s underground scene all those years ago.
The original (very limited) cassette disappeared many years ago and recently commanded a silly price on Ebay, so it seemed high time to let the music be heard once more – not least for that brief piece of interplay between Patrick and Graham during “Mezhanyne”. Check that live mixing from Hans Meier too…..quite superb.” -EK
