Style: dark monumental gothic rock live
cult live album by the flagbearers of British gothic rock scene includes the best tracks from all three foundational, era-defining records, making it an essential, almost magical live document, captured during three performances of the Sumerland tour in 1990 at London’s Brixton Academy on June 10th, Wolverhampton Civic Centre on April 8th, and Hamburg’s Sportshalle on June 11th; the result is a ritualistic, almost transcendent atmosphere, where mysterious guitar harmonies, hypnotic bass, and McCoy’s enchanting voice merge into a single mystical flow: Preacher Man, Moonchild, Psychonaut and Last Exit for The Lost sound like prophetic hymns, encapsulating the essence and unmistakable aura of British ensemble - sometimes even grander and more compelling than in their studio versions, and it was the final official release before their first split in late 1991; recent British reissue comes with authentic design
