This is the first-ever official full-length Mouse On Mars live release . Trying to package the spur-of-the-moment artist/audience dynamic is often impossible & so many live albums are like holiday photos ..pale two-dimensional documents of a once-enchanting moment. For that reason Mouse on Mars avoided releasing a live recordings for ten years. They left the documentation of their stage shows to bootleggers, secret archivists and fidelity resistant butterfly collectors. Apart from a limited seven-inch and some quietly tolerated bootleg CDRs, the band had never released anything that hadn't been painstakingly assembled and galvanized in the studio. But now Live04, makes clear as day why the bands gigs can be just as exciting and unpredictable as their recordsLive04 is culled from nearly 600 (!!!) hours of live recordings from the band's 2004 world tour. The music of Mouse On Mars is constantly reinventing itself and this magical energy, benefiting from ten years of live performance, is especially evident when the band takes it to the stage. Features bonus video for the track "Wipe That Sound".
