Superheroes, ghostvillains + stuff

"The album was beautifully recorded and mixed by Olaf Opal, who captures how the spark of a good live performance can invigorate - or reinvigorate ... The Notwist blends all of these sounds and eras together organically and with an excitement that suggests they'll never tire of finding different ways to combine their pop and experimental sides in concert as well as the studio".

"Once alternative rockers as shaggy-headed as they were raggedly distorted, The Notwist gradually evolved into Germany's leading practitioners of melancholic indietronica. As their first live album demonstrates, while programming has become an indispensable aspect of their studio recordings and concert performances, this band has retained its chops ... It makes for an emotional, even soulful listen that sees a future for Padang Food Tigers beyond the inevitable Basho/ Bailey/Kottke references - the West has been won, where's next?".
