A “live” album in name only as there was much studio sweetening added to these tracks. At least three tracks are complete studio creations (Quark, Terra Mystica and Berlin Axis) Still there is much to recommend the album. The sound and production are strong and serve the music well. Several older songs get interesting face lifts, like Quark Strangeness and Charm. Nobody will beat Calvert’s original studio version –so why try? Instead, they opted to re-jig the song by slowing down the tempo and vocal delivery to create an entirely new listening experience that, for me, works well. Green Finned Demon gets a lush arrangement which I think stomps the original 80s version –this is my favorite version of the song. You get a couple of the best songs from Electric TeePee (L.S.D. and Right To Decide) that are a bit more lively than their studio versions (though I think the studio versions are stronger). They also added an excellent version of “You Know You’re Only Dreaming” titled The Dream Has Ended A rare cover of The Right Stuff is also included. The album is a nice sampler of the period and it could work as a nice introduction to early-mid 90s Hawkwind. Probably not essential, but I am glad to have it.
