- Excellent music, but no big surprises.

Clan of Xymox returns with the first live album of their 16+year career, and they've definitely pulled out the stops, featuring 19 songs from their full live show of the '99 tour and 2 video clips, spread over 2 discs. Purists of live albums may not be too impressed as the tracks sound very much nearly the same as their respective studio versions, but songs such as "A Cry in the Wind and "Back Door" which were originally heavily layered tracks, come through quite well in CoX's live quartet format. The recording quality is exceelent, with little in the way of overpowering crowd noise, and the video clips are definitely worth watching. Overall this was well worth the $$.

- I wish I was there

What can I say , when I hear this album I simply want to jump into my speakers and be part of the crowd. Yes , I am a true fan but could unfortunately not go to South America where all these recordings were taking place. The crowd sounds wild. I wish I was there.

The live songs are played perfectly and the quality is very good. The crowd luckily does not dominate the recordings too much which is a good thing, afterall you want to hear the music and not the fans screaming. As always 5stars

- live xymox

seamlessly fusing dark pop with guitar driven rock, the result is much more than the sum of its parts and CoX's music comes out entrancing, commanding and intensely emotional. most of the classics are here.. no wait, the entire set is played to perfection you dont know anymore which are the classics and which are the less known songs.

songs that never really cut it for me in their studio format became new sensations in their live reincarnation. Consolation, out of the rain and Craving to name a few.

even Louise becomes less depressing but in a strangely uplifting kind of way, when heard live.

if you're reading this review it most probably means you're not here by chance, in which case you're urged to hunt down this beauty without hesitation.

- obsession

it is an excellent music, that reaaches right to the heart, and some fantasies. This music makes me feel good; i think is very fine music, with class.
