Live Short Cuts

After more of 400 concerts around Europe and 5 albums studio, the French duet Brain Damage presents in this end of September its first live production. A session recorded this last summer on the home city of the band, Saint-Etienne: the city of the green angels and other hot cauldron. Date which concludes the tour following the last studio album: Short Cuts. Album published on March 2008 (read review).
By this fact, the majority of the songs presented on the record are from the 2 last album studio. So Short Cut, a production more dub influenced that purely inna dub style, and the excellent "Spoken dub Manifesto vol.1", the album inna a electro-dub-poetry style which marks the evolution of Brain Damage to its actual style.
But the band has know to add the dub side (a bit missing) on the live version. Actually, this live production ending by some "classic" song of the band. Titles from the older publications such as "Ashes to Ashes - Dub to Dub" and "Always Greener (On the Other Side)". Before a final explosion with "Brain Booster", track from the first maxi of the Brain Damage.

So, an album for all the fan of Brain Damage (like me) even we have already the full collection.
