Recorded live at the Tsubaki House in Tokyo on March 23, 1982, this album captured a pivotal moment in the band's history as they transitioned from their early harsh industrial sound toward a more funk-oriented aesthetic. It was the first live release following the departure of founding member and tape manipulator Chris Watson, who left to form The Hafler Trio.

Additional Features: The performance features Alan Fish on live drums and percussion, replacing the previous reliance on tape loops and providing a more "propulsive" and "tribal" rhythmic foundation. The album famously features live versions of tracks like "Yashar," "Over and Over," and "Diskono," the latter two of which would appear in studio form on their following album, The Crackdown.

Condition:

• Sleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+). Typical for these 1982 pressings, the sleeve may show light corner softening or minor shelf rub. High-gloss Japanese editions are often found in better condition than their US or German counterparts.

• Media: Excellent (EX). A well-maintained copy should offer a robust, full sound profile, capturing the band's "shamanistic" live energy with minimal surface interference.
