"The Necks new album "Athenaeum, Homebush, Quay & Raab" is a 4 cd pack including 4 X 50mins (approx.)live sets. I have owned "Hanging Gardens" and "Sex" for a few years and have enjoyed theme immensely. This new album is a lot more relaxed and slower than those two albums. In their usual highly progressive and seductive manner The Necks offer a quality pack that will grow and grown on you. If this is a first time Necks purchase for you, i would reccomend starting with either "sex" or "hanging Gardens" first. However, if you are a seasoned fan then this is a must have. It may seem pricy but for over 3 hours of music it aint too bad."
Hear it new.

"I do not want to take too much time with this... but this collection of live recordings is a whole new way to hear the trio play. On the albums the studio and the process are present... live you hear only the three players interact and hear the bass, piano, and drums fill a room. They are a band with a particular mode...that is for sure... on this live recording you can hear that it holds up without technology."
