Milli Vanillied ?

(3 out of 5 stars)

"If you already owh OPTICAL RACE and LILY, you don't need this one - in fact, this "live" album from 1990 borrows so exactly from the aforementioned studio releases you'll never know the difference; EAST sounds to me like a cheat: exact replays of the studio tracks with a few applause mixovers to cover their tracks, so to speak.



There are a few pieces with new names, but there's nothing new musically. Worst of all is track 12, "wall street" - so plinky-plinky lame it's embarassing - what happened to this once great group? To the man who studied with Dali? To the ones who carved great paths?



Maybe I should check out INFERNO again...



And if you don't own them already, this jaded reviewer recommends you buy at least the BEST of TD, starting with:



1. POLAND

2. ENCORE

3. LOGOS

4. FORCE MAJEURE

5. RICOCHET

6. STRATOSFEAR
