This week we have not one but 2 MV/EE LP's. And they're both live! They're also different so don't think they're both the same album or anything! There's one called Live Road on Blackest Rainbow (you may remember the 12 cassette live box they put out a while back?) and there's one on Woodsist. The BR features tracks recorded from a number of shows in the US from November 2009. The Woodsist one 'Home Comfort' features tracks from 2008 and 2009 also recorded in the US. It's a bit weird getting 2 live albums in one week but listening to them they're quite different to the album tracks. The songs sound even more laid back and drawn out (almost dubbyon one of them)...But you get the usual mix of stoned hippy jams, some psychey raggae workouts and some hearty blues rock. Both albums are great and I much prefer 'em to the last album they did on Ecstatic Peace... it makes more sense live!Collection of very recent live excursions with MV & EE, all high quality recordings from shows in November 2009. The A side opens with a MV/EE duo perfromance of 'Mine All Troubled Blues' from Art Damage Lodge, Cinncinnatti, OH on 20/11/09. This heads straight into two interprations of 'Environments', one from Project Lodge, Madison, WI which again is just raw MV/EE action, but the second features an enhanced line up with Muskox and Doc Dunn. The two versions are blurred together into one log blazing 11 minute space jam. The flip side opens with the classic blues soaked 'Tea Devil' with Erika's laid back vocals backed with MV's rippling guitar shreds, Rongoose's (Ron Schneidermann of Sunburned/Spirit of Orr/Pewt'r) heavy bass bliss outs, and Chris Corsano's showcasing a slow moving stoned out drum kit. Straight from hear we head into a completely trance inducing psychedelic haze of wild jamming with a totally different version of 'Environments'. The whole of the Bside was recorded with Chris and Ron at Bank Row, Greenfield, MA. Edition of 400 pressed on heavyweight vinyl with hand stamped labels in black and white pro printed wrap around jackets with cover art by Jeremy Earl of Woods/Woodsist Records.
