referencing The Drain Train / Live In Sheffield 19 Jan 82, CD, CABS 14 CD

This is a re-release in CD format of two very different LP's: «The Drain Train» is clearly a more mature (and therefore less experimental) release that contains 3 versions of «Shakedown» plus «Menace» and «Electro-Motive», which are all somewhat disco/pop oriented (which doesn't necessarily mean that they're not good...)
But «Live In Sheffield» is a totally different experience as it's tracks really show CV's full potential as the most innovative and experimental band that possibly ever existed. My personal pick goes to «War Of Nerves» which is a really dark/powerful/experimental track that totally blows you up! The "Live" aspect also contributes for the overall environment: the background noises and both crowd and performers' enthusiastic spirit really adds up to an incredible exciting experience that could only be surpassed if you were really there listening to their performance.
Those lucky bastards...
