Anglagard - Buried Alive (Live 1994) (@320)
(Review from progreviews.com, progressiveworld.net)
This live album was released posthumously, as the band had sadly broken up at this point. It features the band's final performance at ProgFest 1994. This concert actually took place after the tumultuous breakup of the band, and they only got back together to fulfill this final commitment.
Afterwards the band thought it might be nice to put the entire concert on disc. In the beginning, it was planned as a double album, featuring the entire concert plus an unreleased composition of around 15 minutes.
Around that time, some of the Anglagard members were active in another band and it looked as if that unreleased 15-minute track would be used for this band. Due to this fact, the record company no longer found it interesting to release 2 CDs, so it was decided to limit the live recording to a single release. "Buried Alive" includes all of the Hybrid album plus two tracks from Epilog.
There is no great variation from the studio albums here; no improvisation or wild reworkings of material. While the band was reportedly devastated at what they saw as a lackluster performance, this is perhaps an overly harsh self-assessment. There are a few screw-ups here and there, but on the whole it is a worthy execution of some difficult music.
