Search - Low :: One More Reason To Forget (Live) [Limited]

Low is a great live band and here's the proof

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is taken from a DAT recording of Low's 11/6/97 performance at the Church of St. Philip Neri in Louisville, KY, and contains material from Songs for a Dead Pilot and The Curtain Hits the Cast, as well as versions of "Venus" and "If You Were Born Today". The band is in fine form (I've seen them three times), and the quality of the recording is quite good, all things considered. The recording appears to have been made by micing the room, but the audience is plenty quiet enough to make it work, and the added tension of hearing a few restless folks really adds to the experience. The reason this isn't a five star CD is simple. There is nothing new on this disc! If you're already a Low fan, you already have most of these songs, and the live versions, though excellent, don't stray very far from the studio takes. If you are new to Low, this is a great place to start. If you are already familiar with the band's catalog, this would be a fine (but not essential) addition to your collection."

"This cd presents what is greatest about LOW... the awesome unique sound they create. The recording is very good. This may be a binaural recording? The audience is nice and quiet. LOW played an excellent set. LOW's sound is so big and beautiful and awesome in this cathedral.If you like LOW a lot and would like a great recording of them live this cd is a blessing. I am very glad this cd is available. I also suggest this cd as an introduction to LOW because i think an awesome LOW concert is a better intro than a studio album.I've seen LOW 8+ times. I've never seen them in a cathedral. I've never heard them in as beautiful sounding space as this recording. I consider LOW live one of the wonders of our world."

I feel sleepy... still have to waltz

"There is no doubt that in the sleepy land of slowcore Low reign supreme... So the question to ask is not whether you'll like this record or not but whether you like slowcore. If the answer is yes then just buy anything whith this band's name on it, you won't be disappointed! As for those who don't know what slowcore really is about I'll say that it's a minimal, skeletal say some, form of music. Don't expect fast-paced rhythms, the tone is "low" and the melodies linger forever. Something you'll actually wonder whether someone is actually playing..."One more reason to forget" is a superb live album which was recorded in a church. It might be a good entry point if you aren't familiar with the band!"
