about

believe it or not, the artwork for the original CD release of this live set consumed more of our time & energy than any other aspect of the show or the recording. we had liked the photographs taken during our Mtv performance so much that we wanted to use all of them in the packaging, & so we sought the services of a professional who'd done the layout for CD releases where the bookletty thing unfolded into a sort of small poster. that was the idea. "what if they want the poster & they want to keep the CD booklet in the case?" says Gary. "then they'll have to buy two copies!"

anyway. the Mtv images are all here now- these were taken by Piers Cox. do with them as you see fit, but keep it legal! the audio is a bit longer than on the original CD because CDs were smaller back in them days and we had to keep it under 63 minutes. `Skeletope' has a restored section in the middle we had originally chopped out (in what was our first ever digital crossfade longer than 0.99999 seconds, using the state of the art Sadie system trivia fans) you can still roll y'r own of this, & there is a sleeve version of the artwork to that end, as well as jewel box bits.

there are stories about the recce (the triplets, 'skeletope', Sir Bernard Lovell's grand piano in the planetarium), & the gig itself (Air Sculpture's mellotron dying, confirming the two-M400s-won't-both-work-in-one-room hypothesis, the realisation that we can't see or hear what we're doing by the light of the orrery & with the PA facing away from us), but it was a pretty good show nonetheless. even if the coca cola was 50p a tin.
