The first disc comprises various live renditions of older songs and material from *[Amplifier Worship](/source/Amplifier_Worship)* and the *[Boris/Barebones](/source/Boris%2FBarebones)* split EP. The second disc is three drumless drone songs. The third disc is a live set consisting of the 65-minute *[Absolutego](/source/Absolutego)* and the 70-minute *[Flood](/source/Flood_(Boris_album))* played back-to-back in 37 minutes. Altogether, 600 copies of each disc were pressed with the intention of being sold individually. However, due to strong demand for all three, a set consisting of an obi-style horizontal slipcase enclosing the three discs was created and limited to 320 copies.[4] All three discs were re-released together in 2013 through Daymare Recordings with new artwork.[5] ## Disc 1: "Live 96–98" No. Title Length 1.
