I absolutely love this cd. Jeff Mills's techno is a state of the art, in the mix, risk taking, no bullshit set. I completely respect this guy for releasing a _real_ live cd, instead of some mix that was made in the studio(like so many of the mix cd's are). This cd is brilliant, and i'm glad a dj as good as mills has the guts to record it live and release it with all the energy intact.
