This is an unusual release in that so far it's only available direct from the band. It was recorded at the Walthamstow Assembly Halls in December 2002 (the last show of the tour) and covers the main part of the show in its entirety, missing only the encores (Sonic Attack/Spacebrock, and Silver Machine) The album first revealed itself as a very pleasant surprise addition to the merchandise stall at the 2003 Christmas gig at the Astoria last weekend. Interestingly, there are no credits for the lineup or remastering. For the record, here's some of the detail:

Dave Brock - guitar, vocals, keyboards, humour
Richard Chadwick - drums, sequencers, vocals
Alan Davey - bass, vocals
Tim Blake - keyboards, vocals
Arthur Brown - vocals


A steady bass line highlighted with a mixture of twiddly and swooping synth sounds accompanies Arthur's vocal on Time Captives which builds towards a wailing and (well delivered) screaming finale which is reminiscent of Ian Gillan on Child In Time.

RECORDED
Walthamstow, Assembley Hall, London - 13th December 2002
