Album of the Day

Live at NEARFest 2002, by Miriodor (2005): My first exposure to Quebec's avant-proggers Miriodor was via a webcast of this performance at NEARFest. I was impressed and promptly went out and got their then-current release, Mekano. Years later, when the band released its next studio album, Parade, they included this live album as a second disc in the packaged. It's a good performance, but unfortunately 11 of its 13 tracks are from Mekano, so it's a bit redundant. Still, it's worth it to have a copy of "Igor, the Motorbike Bear!"
