Slowly but surely my favorite 'Pop' group

"Slapp Happy 'live in Japan' gives you a special sensation after a few hearings. There's a melancholy through out not aparent in the studio versions. I've never heard Dagmar (the singer) with such soft and almost wispering voice before this record. Also the striped down approach to the songs gives them a new , almost like a farewell, sort of quality. Not really a record to start your Slapp Happy collection (start with
'Sort of' or their first lp made in germany...their recent one, 'Ca va' is good too...If you are more into progressive music start with 'Desperate Straights').
This is an album to listen when you want something dreamy and special in the air. Recommended."

"The songs written and performed by Anthony Moore (keyboards), Peter Blegvad (guitar) and Dagmar Krause (leading vocals) are wonderful.
These gifted artists should have won a Grammy award and played to sold out concert halls with their unique sounds.
Unfortunately, they only played a few shows in Japan.
Selections from those concerts are presented on this cd. This cd is worth the price to play."
