Is this a live album

Album Rating: 5.0
Debatedly yes. But I think the band does not view it as such, since they manipulated A LOT in the studio, so I think it would definitely make more sense to see it as an LP (or even a compilation maybe) then to list it under Live albums.
Also, on Wikipedia: ''ATGCLVLSSCAP is the tenth studio album by Norwegian experimental collective Ulver.''

Yeaaaaaah I vibe. It's a weird one in that it owes as much to the studio as to live recording, but kinda like the used the live album this might have been as the basis for the studio album that it pretty much is? Not that far away from Kayo Dot's Gamma Knife ig, which no-one has ever contested as an LP. Might edit, hmm

Johnny you would be even more of a hero in my eyes when you would edit this. It has annoyed me to see it listed under live since its release.
Also:
''The music was culled from multitrack recordings made at twelve different improvisatory "free rock" live shows the band performed in February 2014, and later edited and enhanced in the studio by Daniel O'Sullivan.[2][3] The album has been described as "Ultimately a piece of work that exists above and beyond any conventional live recording, rather a hallucinatory travelogue as potent an experience to bear witness to as it was to construct."[2]''
And
''On 2 January 2014 Ulver announced an 11-date European tour: "the February dates will consist of partly new and improv-based material, likely to revolve around motifs already familiar to our familiars. We had a good experience doing just that (improv) in Oslo in August, so a more free-ranging form is what we are aiming for this time. We are looking forward to get out there, and hope for some interesting music to be born those evenings and nights. We also aim to document some of it for those of you who cannot come."[5] Kristoffer Rygg added, "The tour was to be an experiment, kind of loose and scary for a band as 'set in their ways' as us... It is partly borne out of that feeling, being a bit bored with the circumstances. It was quite liberating to do something more in the moment. One night a jam could be five minutes, and the next it could be fifteen. We couldn’t have captured these songs in a studio environment."[2]
On 3 June 2015, on the band’s official website, in a statement titled "Only Theatre of Pain", Ulver announced Daniel O'Sullivan, working under the moniker "12", had taken the multitrack recordings and begun sculpting and editing hours of material in his North London home,[6] before Anders Møller, Kristoffer Rygg and Tore Ylwizaker got involved, completing the recordings at Subsonic Society and Oak Hill Studios, Oslo.[2] ''

Editing and sculpting hours of material and ultimately ending up with 80 minutes of 'studio enhanced' music falls into both the LP and Live album categories but it's weirder to see that as fully Live in my eyes. Jams have featured on many studio albums in the past too, right?

Yeah, been reading that page a lot today (touched on this one while catching up with the discog guide lol) - wondered if anyone else had feelings about it. Turns out they do, hold my beer one sec ;]
"Jams have featured on many studio albums in the past too, right?"
I mean, the way they pieced this together is kinda similar to the way Talk Talk worked on their last two LPs from what I've read (not that you'd necessarily call that jamming), and I think that part of its craft and the way it related to the studio space takes precedence over any live elements as far as categorisation goes

Good, this deserves to be counted with their main releases. Some of their best songs of the decade on here.

For sure! It's such a great record, one of my fave Ulver ever did.

Rejammed most of this today and D-Day Drone is a real sleeper. Think the sequencing would work better sans Desert/Dawn, but the highs here are fantastic
The way Rygg's voice resurfaces in Nowhere after the sparseness of that middle section is up with Tomorrow In A Year/"Colouring of Pigeons" for moments of sudden gratification after hook starvation

but yeah this album's cool but the 2nd half tests my patience a bit too much sometimes

I get that. There is a long ambient stretch at the end, which can be a bit much for an 80 minute album.
I do love every second of it though.

this album would be absolute hot shit golddust if Desert/Dawn didn't exist imo. track ain't bad, but it kills the flow something awful and D-Day Drone and Gold Beach are fantastic, so surplus drone was not the order of the day

yeah those 3 songs back to back were a little rough for me. i didn't dislike any of them but they slowed down the album too much
