Good morning, world. Wake up, sip your coffee and put your headphones on. Enter
Shikari are releasing the sixth installment of their infamous bootleg series
today: after the release had to be pushed back due to a delay in the
manufacturing, Live at Alexandra Palace is now available for purchase, download
and streaming - whatever suits you.
"Live at Alexandra Palace" features the full-set (minus one track, due to
technical issues on the night) from the bandÆs sold-out show at the 9000
capacity London venue back in February 2016 and was edited and mixed by
guitarist Rory Clewlow and Tim Morris (the bandÆs live monitors engineer, as
well as engineer / assistant producer on the "A Flash Flood Of Colour" and "The
Mindsweep" albums). ItÆs the bandÆs way to end the Mindsweep-era with a blow
before they concentrate on writing new material.
The tracklist is tight with pretty much every great Shikari song ever released,
opening with ôSolidarityö going into the classic ôSorry YouÆre Not A Winnerö
which they deliver as passionately as any brand new song on the set - kudos for
that! The next part is probably my favourite part of the whole set list: a
stunning live rendition of The MindsweepÆs ôThe One True Colourö followed by a
medley of ôThe Last Garrisonö and ôNo Sleep Tonightö just to raise the bar with
the fan favourites ôDestabiliseö, ôRadiateö and finishing the sonic mindsweep
(pun intended) with a much lauded medley of the dancefloor bangers ôSlipshodö
and ôThe Jesterö followed by ôPrice On Your Headö. To spice things up, Enter
Shikari work a lot with medleys and remixes which was a good decision
considering that the band has been touring relentlessly these past years and
songs donÆt necessarily get more exciting when they are played each night for
years.
RouÆs heartfelt acoustic performance of the emotional ballad ôDear Future
Historiansö is total ear candy. After wreaking havoc for the first half of the
concert, itÆs great to take a breather. ThereÆs also not much in this world as
awesome as this stripped down piano version of the beautiful song. My personal
highlights of the second half are ôTorn Apartö and ôRedshiftö though. These two
songs just reach their full potential when performed live in front of a big
audience with everyone singing the lyrics and emotions spilling over. Just like
their most recent studio album, Enter Shikari close the set with ôThe Appeal &
The Mindsweep IIö aka the last chance to really go crazy once more. ?
All in all, ôLive At Alexandra Palaceö is a great recording of the bandÆs
biggest show to date. The audio sounds well balanced, the vocals are clear and
the audience isnÆt too loud to understand the songs. Clewlow and Morris clearly
did a great job mixing the record.
Nevertheless, the album left me mostly unsatisfied. ItÆs a perfect live album,
but thatÆs exactly the point here: itÆs just a live album. If youÆve seen Enter
Shikari live on their Mindsweep tour, you might know that the band used
absolutely stunning visuals especially at Alexandra Palace. Their performance
was a work of art which can only be re-lived (if at all) as a full package with
visuals and audio. A video for a live version of the "Redshift" single, shot and
recorded at the show, was released by the band in June 2016 but due to a hitch
with filming the planned DVD never happened. I guess the old saying ôYou canÆt
have everything in lifeö fits pretty well here: a DVD would have been perfect
but shit happens. At least we got a flawless live album! Enter Shikari also
recently released a 30 minutes æmini-documentaryÆ from the Feb 2016 UK arena
tour, which you can see below.
