Recorded in 2013 and released in 2014, this is a live studio recording with a live audience in the Netherlands, featuring all new songs (at the time) recorded in one take, and the tension created by drummer Larnell Lewis being brought in as a last-minute replacement was transformed into a miraculously brilliant performance. This monumental masterpiece is being released as a 10th-anniversary edition double LP. This 10th-anniversary edition includes a full range of alternate versions (all previously unreleased) of all songs, featuring alternate takes. Furthermore, the bonus tracks include the first recording version of "Gretel," which appeared on their next album "Silva," recorded with the Metropole Orchestra conducted by Jules Buckley, making for a truly substantial release. Of course, the original Disc 1 has also been remixed and remastered. The sense of unity with the audience, which transcends time and space and seems to embody the very essence of their well-known pre-debut church performances, makes this album special. "SLEEPER" features the wonderful talkbox of Sean Martin, who sadly passed away in August, the popular classic "SHOFUKAN," and of course, "Lingus," which continues to be a topic of conversation worldwide, with the video of Sean Martin's reaction to it being so famous. The inclusion of this alternate take on Disc 2 alone makes it quite valuable. This is a must-have masterpiece in Snarky Puppy's career, packed with these classics.
