Great live album by The Chemical Brothers. It's always a bit hard to review live albums. The tracks come from various albums over time but the great thing about electronic artists performing live is their ability to create new music based on their own material, and this is absolutely in the high end of live performances as they understand to build the compositions together and make it a whole. Compared to e.g. Sigur Ròs and their fine Inni live album, this is simply a better live performance in the sense that The Chemical Brothers' old repertoire played live becomes brand new material - instead of just playing popular songs like they sound on the original studio albums (like SR), The Chemical Brothers produce live versions of well-known tracks that are stuffed with changes and interpretations of their own material to make everything fit to the moment. Now, that's art!
