This is the first live recording of Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) to be released to the public. The solo acoustic show took place at a local coffee house in Athens, GA in 1997 and was recorded onto high 8 video by R.E.M. cameraman and independent film maker, Lance Bangs. The CD consists of both audio tracks (playable on any CD player) and the video image (viewable on both Mac and PC computers using Quicktime movie viewer). Audio mixed by Robert Schneider. Mastered by Derek Almstead.
Jeff Mangum is well known as the lead singer and songwriter for Neutral Milk Hotel, but he has previously never released any of the solo performances that were so enjoyed by the local community in his home town of Athens. This record contains both solo versions of songs that were used on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and previously unreleased songs that were never played by the band. Highlights include a version of Phil Spector's 'I Love How You Love Me' as well as the swooning children's song 'Engine'(written by Mangum). The video image shows Mangum in 'the Starlit Crypt,' a room covered with Christmas lights, performing a highly intimate show with a small child dancing at his feet.
CD is packaged in plastic sleeve (not a jewel case) with a six panel poster as the cover.
