Since the early 90s Peter Andersson writes albums that remain in our memory as masterpieces and that have defined and formed the term ‘dark ambient’ in its form, as we know it today! This incredible release, Live Archive, is the best and most qualitative release by Raison d’Etre’s famous live performances and all tracks and recordings have been carefully selected by Peter Andersson himself and are being made available for the very first time on CD. Live Archive offers far more than three hours of deepest dark ambient sound in Raison d’Etre’s well known and highly praised quality. This triple-CD set features both, already well-known tracks from the project’s official studio albums in most interesting, very different live-versions and some exclusive compositions, never heard or released before! All this makes this beautiful packaging a monumental edition and absolutely irresistible for all Raison d’Etre addicts and beyond!
