This is not a studio album/EP but a live recording by one of my favourite IDM artists, Lackluster. If you remembered, we have reviewed one of his albums a couple of months ago, CDR #2. Coincidentally, a few of the tracks from the album, like Starcell UK and Cull Streak, are chosen to be part of this live set.

What makes this live recording interesting is the live mashups he layered on top of the studio tracks and also the beats and edits he did in between the tracks. On top of that you’ll also get to listen to a few of his unreleased tracks which are as good as the released ones.

The recording starts off nice and slow with a familiar track from CDR #2, Starcell UK, and slowly builds up to some harder stuffs towards the end. By hard, I mean with relatively harder beats as compared to the beginning of the recording, but we all know that Lackluster’s stuffs are all pretty melodic and relaxing.

This is definitely one of the best live sets I’ve heard so far!
