Title: In a Vault for a Good Reason
Review: Sometimes the best thing for past material is to stay buried very deeply in a vault and this is the case with these live tracks recorded in 1982.This "Classics Edition" contains five pieces ranging from 4:31 (White Eagle) to 13:22 (Bondy Parade) from Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke and Johannes Schmoelling. There is a bootleg-like quality the way the listener is dropped into the opening number - Convention of the 24 - and there really is not anything special in the material that makes it a fascinating or historical release.Froese has been criticized over the years for reworking supposed live tracks with studio material and this may be his way at firing back at those who question that process. But no matter the reason, the live set adds nothing to the incredible legacy of the legendary band.
