Review by BrufordFreak
COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator
5 stars One of the greatest, most powerful live concert DVDs I've ever seen, the producers/editors have done a wonderful job of making the listener/viewer feel as if they are right there in the concert hall. Each and every reproduction of often-familiar Ulver songs is embellished or transformed to such a degree as to make them better than the originals. Such power! I wish I had been able to be present for such a soul-filling experience!

Favorite Songs: "EOS," "Not Saved," and "Little Blue Bird." The video visuals up on the screen make for such a more powerful experience! Thank you so much Kristoffer Rygg (vocals, programming), Daniel O'Sullivan (guitars, bass, keyboards), Jørn H. Sværen (miscellaneous), Tore Ylwizaker (keyboards, programming), Christian Fennesz (guitar), Ole Alexander Halstensgå­rd (theremin, electronics), Tomas Pettersen (drums, percussion), and Ian Johnstone (visual performance). Another production that exhibits the high artistic capacity of our species!
