Live '94

by The NRG

doktari929 Slow, ebb/flow of syncopated rhythms echo over a distant landscape that is your mind. Hushed whistles, inchoate sounds merge as a simulacrum of aural tonalities undergirded by an aroused audience. Then, out of the blue, a disembodied voice languidly utters indistinct words. Drop 125-200 mcg, then dawn head-phones, and propel into space. A perfect evening. 🙏🏼🍄🧠

caligulacabbage69 Found this gem by searching for the KLF tribute worth every penny download this before it ceases to exist ... Favorite track: The KLF (Live '94 Version).

negsy17 Ambient soundscapes, great samples and driving bass lines aplenty in this one. Loved it from start to finish. Class! Would purchase again if a version without crowd noise came about for mixing purposes. Favorite track: Re-NRGizer (Live '94 Version).

A Strangely Isolated Place Fascinating all round. I salute you. Favorite track: X For The Unknown (Live '94 Version).

Jettenbach Found this album while looking for The KLF. Love the concept. Wouldnt have been surprised if Drummond and Cauty had been behind this.
Favorite track: Unconscious Motivation (Live '94 Version).

stephenjb It is patently impossible not to love this album. The NRG are brilliant and through their music the listener is transported back in time to a comfortable floor in a chillout room somewhere in their memory.

about

Everyone is interested in a story or an angle when it comes to music and nothing is more intriguing than a mysterious band thought to be lost in where are they now files of musical history. Who were The NRG? Did they even exist? The forgotten men of the 90s rave scene?

After they ended their career in late 1994, at the absolute peak of the power, and deleted all of their catalogue everything was thought to be lost forever... but then... In the unassuming town of Kansas, Independence, USA a bunch of DAT tapes were recently discovered when safety deposit boxes were cleared out of an old vault. Amongst gold, cash and classified government documents, the missing piece of The NRG’s history was uncovered. These "live" recordings have been lovingly restored and compiled to create the Live ‘94 LP.

Live ‘94 is the apex of The NRG’s history—simply because there is nothing else. With ticking clocks and alarms littered throughout the album, it becomes clear that the passing of days, hours, and minutes was the actual crux of the band. It was only a matter of time until The NRG would dissipate as quickly as they appeared, like a comet across the night sky—a moment which, if not looking directly at it, is gone. Just like that.

In fact, The NRG never existed, the band, the tour, the album - just a figment of imagination. All created in the modern dis-information and alternative facts world.  Born out of a product of fun, ambition and a love for the 90’s, the conception of Live ‘94 - a make believe live album with added crowd sounds transports us back to a time that once was. Now in the pandemic this release has a whole new meaning; no longer is it a nod to the 90’s, but a nostalgic nod to a time when we were once able to experience live music. This album draws from all of the above elements, giving us the ultimate fake dream stadium experience.

about

The NRG Sheffield, UK

It would be wrong to define The NRG as simply chillout music for ravers. Their music provided a soundtrack for the early glimpse of dawn after a night of raving, a soothing assembly of sounds that provided the peace after the storm. But their 1993 studio album Stadium Ambient reached into the throes of fame and fortune, a tidal wave that swept The NRG up and pushed them over the edge into oblivion ... more
