Product Overview
HAKEN - L-1VE (2CD+2DVD DIGIPAK) (CD/DVD) Haken are set to release their first ever live album, titled ÜL-1VEâ on the 22nd June 2018. Following the release of the bands much-acclaimed fourth studio album ÜAffinityâ, they embarked upon their 10th anniversary tour across Europe & North America. Recorded and filmed on the 13th April 2017, at the legendary Melkwegvenue on the Amsterdam stop of that tour, this represents the bandâs first ever live document with tracks from across the bands discography. The band comments: ÓThe release of official live material is a project that is long overdue and we know our existing fans have been crying out for this for some time now. It is largely due to the will of the people that the idea of this project became a reality. Both the band and the label were inundated with emails requesting a live release in some shape or form, and it was actually rather flattering, so giving the people what they wanted just felt like the right thing to doÝ The set list focussed heavily on their 2 most recent critically acclaimed albums 'Affinity' (2016) and 'The Mountain' (2013) with a 22 minute encore of the title track from 'Visions' (2011). However, the centre piece for the album has to be the beast that is ÓAquamedleyÝ which sees the band celebrating and performing excerpts from their debut album ÓAquariusÝ (2010) -a story of a mermaid born into a corrupt human world and who's sacrifice is the saviour of humanity from a great flood. Drawing from 6 outof7 of the tracks, this 25 minute medley strings the compositions together seamlessly. ÜL-1VEâ will be released as a 2CD/2DVD Digipak package & as digital download. The DVD will include 4 bonus tracks filmed at ProgPowerUSA 2016 that also includes Mike Portnoyâs cameo appearance on gong, as well as all of the official videos from the ÜAffinityâ album. The live audio was mixed by Jerry Guidroz, known for his work with Neal Morse and Winery Dogs. TRACKLISTING Disc 1 01. affinity.exe/Initiate (06:01) 02. In Memoriam (04:42) 03. 1985 (09:21) 04.
