        Bloody amazing, really good. Lots of extended jams that 
        really showcase Hatler's excellent bass playing. Some 
        really Gong-like stuff on here, too, like the version of 
        "Kraan Arabia." Let's put it this way, this is the one I 
        usually recommend Kraan neophytes to start with.

        IMO Kraan never did a bad album, but if you liked _Let it 
        Out_ you would love _Live_.

        I defer to the Hawklord, as your knowledge is more 
        trustworthy than mine on this subject. I remember buying 
        the album some 25 years ago and then instantly putting 
        the cover up on my wall as a poster (What can I say, 
        Stacia fueled a few fantasies, and I'm probably not alone 
        in this.....) and it folded out like a triple album 
        cover, so for some reason my brain got infested with the 
        idea that it was a triple. Mind, it drags on and on like 
        a triple album, but I kind of like that. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
