    For the most part this is really good and delivers proof of the acts' ability to deliver their unique style in an equally impressive manner in a live setting. "Kiss My Name", one of my favourite A and the J's tracks is a highlight and sounds as good as ever here. Unfortunately the inclusion of the 7 minute "Future Feminism" (7 MINUTES!!) is a major downside.

Unfortunately the inclusion of the 7 minute "Future Feminism" (7 MINUTES!!) is a major downside. Some will say its brave, especially putting it in so early at track 2.

    The real draws here are the stunning fresh takes on some of the finest works to be found in the Antony & The Johnsons catalog. [No.90, p.52]

    The four songs drawn from eco-themed album The Crying Light gain particular vitality.... The other major beneficiaries of Muhly and co.'s top notch orchestral work art Antony's earliest songs. [Aug 2012, p.82]

    A curious document, but one that serves as a reminder of Hegarty's ability to catch the light live. [Sep 2012, p.97]
