4.0 out of 5 stars K's Choice Greatest Hits Live and More, March 29, 2002

This review is from: Le Double Live (Audio CD)

In October 2000, K's Choice issued it's fourth album "Almost Happy", which has gone unreleased in the US until now (it is finally being issued--in a different version--in April 2002). The subsequent tours all over Europe to support "Almost Happy" are the source of this double CD, which came out in Fall 2001 in Europe. (For the record, the album really is just called "Live", not "Le Double Live".)

This double CD is neatly divided in 2 completely separate sets: CD1 is essentially K's Choice "Greatest Hits Live": 9 of the 11 tracks were a hit single, including Not an Addict (their biggest US success), Mr. Freeze, Cocoon Crash, Everything for Free, Believe, Almost Happy, Another Year, Busy, If You're Not Scared, and the non-single but instantly recognizable Hide. The performances are generally top notch, and exciting.

CD2 is a totally different affair. It is "K's Choice Unplugged", meaning: only Sarah and Gert Bettens, reinterpreting primarily lesser-known catalogue songs just on acoustic guitar. Contrasted to the enthousiastic feeling of CD1, the "Unplugged" set falls a little short, although Sarah's voice shines throughout.

For anyone having been to a K's Choice concert, this is an excellent memento. Belgium's best band comes through once again!

5.0 out of 5 stars They are just as good live, March 16, 2002

This review is from: Le Double Live (Audio CD)

After loving these guys since 1996 when I saw them in concert, I have gotten every album they have released, whether European or US. This double album is a must have for any K's Choice fan. I think if you are just looking for something to get a good idea of what they are about you should pick up Almost Happy when it is released in the US (It is a double disk set with the second disk being songs off of this album). This cd will do nothing but make you love this band more. I highly recommend it. It is a live greatest hits album that everyone should have if they want to have a wonderful K's Choice collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars K's choice at their best, April 7, 2002

This review is from: Le Double Live (Audio CD)

I have followed the band and bought all their CD's since seeing them on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and have done my best to spread the word. K's Choice are the best band of all time ever. This CD allows us to hear Sarah's amazing voice live, aswell as the brilliant musicianship of this amazing band. My favourite track on this double CD is one of my favourites anyway, 'Winter' is now presented, rather than with a piano accompanyment, a number of guitars (two or three), this adds a completely new dimensioon to the song. The audience can get a little annoying depending on when you are listening to it and your mood. But most of the time, if you close your eyes they help you imagine yourself there, you just have to wait till the neighbours are out and turn up the sterio system. This CD is amazing and a definite must for both long term fans and those new to the band.
