A well-chosen live survey of sharp, synth-led songs, though the catalogue-spanning set gives it less of a unified arc than a studio album.

What we noticed

  • The live set opens with four songs before turning to the older “Wadu-Wadu”; it then moves through “Imágenes paganas” and “Pronta entrega.”
  • The closing pair, “Persuadida” and “Densa realidad,” gives the set a defined finish rather than ending on its most familiar songs.
  • The ten-song running order draws on several stages of the band’s catalogue, so the record plays as a concert set rather than a single-album sequence.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
