There’s an understandable sense of celebration to A Perfect Circle, recorded live in 2022 at the OVO Arena Wembley. Way back in 1981, Gary Numan performed a series of gigs there. He was at the peak of his fame but, disenchanted with the entertainment industry, he announced he was retiring from touring. His retirement was short lived, but he made his point and thereafter pursued the musical direction he wanted. Fast forward an astonishing 41 years, and he’s back on that stage, with a massive 22 studio albums to his name. It was a triumphant return, neatly captured here.
There’s a hefty 24 tracks on this record, the entire set from that memorable evening. These are culled from across nine of the releases in that extensive back catalogue. The sound quality is excellent, taken (I assume), directly from the mixing desk. However, this is skilfully merged with the ambient noise from the arena, so you get the crowd reactions, which cleverly captures the atmosphere of the live gig. - David Schuster
