76 minutes of music showcasing System 7’s unique and powerful live techno sound. And in the context of techno music this is about as live as it gets!
Through their frequent live shows, System 7’s Steve Hillage (guitar) and Miquette Giraudy (keyboards) have forged their unique sonic identity, where tech house, techno and trance meet – using a sophisticated blend of programmed beats, Miquette’s live keyboards and Steve’s live psychedelic guitar to send audiences into dance delirium – as freshly captured on Live Transmissions 02.
Live Transmissions 02 is the second System 7 live album release. It was recorded at the Duo Music Exchange venue in Tokyo on May 10th 2024. Starting more downtempo, the set builds to a powerful climax, and then takes people over the edge with thunderous psychedelic techno.
Apart from the iconic Alpha Wave, all the tracks on Live Transmissions 2 are more recent creations than those on the first Live Transmissions album, including tunes from the albums Café Seven, X-Port, N-Port and Up, and from 2008’s Phoenix. Also featuring live renditions of collaborations with Jam El Mar and Japanese psy-trance duo Indigo.
