  1. As a document, it's hard to refute; a track like "Pearl's Girl" keeps unfolding into different layers of aural spotlessness, finally tapering into silence.... But when the crowd does explode, divining the flow, the home listener feels left out of the party.
  2. Devoid of the chest-thumping drama of the real thing, this sprinkling of tracks, largely taken from Second Toughest In The Infants and its follow-up Beaucoup Fish sound curiously neutered.... Hugely disappointing.
  3. When you string them all together and play them to the bleachers, "Cups" and "Push Upstairs" and "Shudder/King of Snake" sound remarkably interchangeable.

    The best live electronica album of all-time. Transcendent. 20 years on and Rez/Cowgirl finale still gives me chills.

    Fantastic music, live or not. A deserted island disc for sure.
