I have to agree, the recording quality is complete shit. I'd heard
the mp3s before actually getting a review copy and had hoped
like hell what I heard was not really the material getting released.
But no luck. Not very impressed with anything about the live material
to be honest. Perhaps in the live setting I would have enjoyed it much
more.
I've been a Tom J fan since at least '94 and I have to say that I really
think
that the live cd is the biggest let down in all that time. Of course,
the
Joy Division cover on the first cd is right up there. Why did he just do
a straightforward cover of this track???? Back in highschool/college,
would a manic, total freak out rendition of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'
have not really just hit the spot, really been the perfect song to
listen
to during those seemingly all important emotional breakdowns? I know
I would have loved it (but then, I was one of the emotional confused
crowd)
** While writing this, saw another mail address the JD cover come in.
I don't think a fucked up version, manic and full of emotion, would have
to be considered a pisstake. I love JD, but damn, I would love to hear
someone seriously mess with this great track. Does it mean that all
the emotion has to go away. Hell no, its just expressed it another way.
Anyways, maybe Tom J is just getting older, more mature in that regard.
Maybe he's just putting out music that suits him and I'm just not with
him
anymore. Maybe I just need to listen to it more... Almost sad to be
letting go
of all my old Squarepusher vinyl now tho.
