supercoolguy Better than the original. Destroys. Favorite track: Kantina / Were, Are and Was Or Is.

Sco77 Can’t express how much their music meant to me at different points in time. This version of Kantina has moved me to tears on more than one occasion. The way it’s evolved over the years from the recorded version...amazing. Check out the footage of their last concert that’s on YouTube- they close with this and the whole room lifts to another plane. Favorite track: Kantina / Were, Are and Was Or Is.

CBecwar Agree with the other reviewer that these songs sound better than the recorded originals. They really brought it to this session. Thank the heavens for Peel and his team again capturing an underappreciated and all-time-great band live at the height of their powers. Favorite track: Side Effects of Being Tired.

lilboy Holy shit "Kantina/Were, Are and Was Or Is" is better than the original. With that said, it takes an already perfect song to transcendental experience. Mandatory listening. Favorite track: Kantina / Were, Are and Was Or Is.

about

While struggling to book European dates during their Challenge for a Civilized Society tour, Unwound took an invite to record sessions for BBC DJ legend John Peel. On May 24, 1998, the trio taped "Side Effects of Being Tired" and "Hexenszene" from New Plastic Ideas, plus "Kantina/Were, Are and Was or Is" from Fake Train. They're all included on this disc, a pre-order only product pressed for just the top 1000 most rabid Unwound disciples. John Peel, however, was never included. "I think we all thought that's what a Peel Session was: You go and record with John Peel. And it was just some other guy."
