Recorded live last September in New York, this LP documents what might turn out to be Om's Don't Look Back concert, should they ever get the invite (actually, last May the band's Al Cisneros played one of those shows as part of his other band, Sleep). The stoner-doom classic Conference Of The Birds gets a full playthrough here, with Cisneros (on bass and vocals) partnered by drummer Emil Amos. Fans of the original will be pleased to find the recording fidelity and the quality pressing of the vinyl delivering some seriously great sound, leaving the performances to be rendered with an uncompromising crispness and sense of weight. Heck, even the sleeve is heavy...
