Prins Live is, of course, a live recording, and consists of six live cuts that are recorded throughout the course of 1999 and 2000 and ranging from painstakingly assembled rhythmic shapes through percussive Merzbow- style blow outs, all animated with a ghostly spirit breath that keeps each piece throbbing with life. While occasionally taking detours through dead end glitch-by-numbers territory, at its best Prins Live sounds the same cavernous roar as early AMM, charging vast, hyperreal space with buzzing static power.
