Details: Discover Records - part of the stable of labels within the RecoverWorld Group - presents ’Live As…’ the third in the innovative album series.
Mixed club live and box fresh, in Northern Ireland and Lebanon, this album gives the raw appeal that most commercial albums somewhat lack. This is not about a computer mixing an album and someone slapping a name on the cover… here the location gives an intense feel to the experience. Considering both Belfast and Beirut have had their times of conflict, it’s both uplifting and inspiring to hear the crowd on such a high.
After the huge success of ‘Live as Fucking Fuck’ in Jan 2005 the ‘Live As…’ series was born. And what a series it has been. The back-to-basics feel can truly be heard from the thumping beats to the passionate and enthusiastic crowd – it’s as close as you will get to the club experience without actually climbing into your dancing trousers and stepping onto the dancefloor.
This album perfectly captures the energy of the crowd, and what it means for a DJ to be part of that club experience. Drop it onto the stereo and feel a part of that energy as well.
Says DJ John Askew: “In an endless sea of perfectly computer mixed compilations the one’s that I love and cherish the most are the raw live recordings with crowd noise. It’s like when you hear an Essential mix on Radio One - live from a festival or Ibiza or wherever and you hear the crowd kicking off. It makes you want to be there, or if you were there and you’re listening back then it takes you back – giving you the chance to relive that special occasion.”
Previous praise for the series: “The first in this CD series, subtly titled 'Live As F***ing F***', has achieved cult-like status within the trance community, and this latest edition looks set to repeat the feat… Turn the lights out at home, crank up the volume and you could almost be there, with every whoop and cheer from the dancefloor there in the mix amongst a truly upfront track selection - a refreshing change from the computer generated, music by numbers mixes that are racked out on store shelves these days.” |
