I believe that was a limited "live" release that
came out last year. I remember listening to it
last year and not being impressed. If i remember
correctly it sounded too big beat meets gabber
for my tastes.

Speaking of Ken Ishii, he has just released a new
album and a few eps recently:
. Ken Ishii: Sleeping Madness cd/2x12" (Sony - Japan)
. Ken Ishii: Misprogrammed Day cdep/12" (Sony - Japan)
. Ken Ishii: Game Over 12" (Sony - Japan)

So far i've only heard RA previews of the
newer stuff but the style was similar to
that of his Jelly Tones cd with a little more
of a funky jazz flavor. Overall it was ok
but not really my thing. Check it out
