Live (Remastered) by MUNCH

Norwegian cult band MUNCH was formed in Kristiansand in late 1986 by Ivar Mykland, Rich Nordskog, Alf Solbakken and Lars Årdal, with Rune Bergstø joining a few months later. They released the albums Munch (1987, remix 1988), Excessive Mobility (1990) and Tree (1991) plus some obscure tapes while active. The live album simply titled Live and the double cassette compilation Moments Of Movement followed in 1992.

Documenting their final live performance, at Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo on 6 December 1991, the LIVE album was originally released on CD only by Tatra, but is now finally reissued as a double LP by T23, Etch Wear and Zen Feedbacker. Newly remastered from the original tapes by Lars Årdal. Comes in gatefold sleeve with new design by Alf Solbakken. Limited edition of 300 copies on black vinyl.
