Análisis (en inglés) - :
{^Live in Cambridge 1988} showcases {$the Fall} at the height of its popularity, following the charting success of the band's cover of {$the Kinks}' {&"Victoria."} About half the set list comes from {$the Fall}'s then-current LP {^The Frenz Experiment}. The pop-tinged keyboard parts and fast-paced rhythms made the band sound at times like a punkish version of {$New Order}, a sensation that breaks down on songs like {&"2 x 4."} This CD is presented without recording details and band credits, but one can assume the lineup is the same as on the LP, including singer {$Mark E. Smith}'s wife {$Brix Smith} (her backing vocals are easy to identify), who would divorce him and quit the band only a few months later. The clean interpretation of {&"Victoria"} -- why mess with your best hit? -- illustrates the approach of the band at this time: more accessible, but still sweet and sour (e.g., {&"Oswald Defence Lawyer,"} with its nursery rhyme-like motif). The band was in good shape and the sound quality is excellent. Highlights include the violent {&"2 x 4,"} {&"Bremen Nacht,"} {&"Hey! Luciani,"} and the medley {&"Mr. Pharmacist (2nd Half)/U.S. 80's-90's."} Fans of this period of the band will be delighted. ~ François Couture, All Music Guide
