1st - John Carpenter - Live Retrospective 2016

--> As usual, only a few decent electronic music related live concerts were released on video in 2018 and in first place it has to be John Carpenter because, simply, it's John freakin' Carpenter, the horror master and synth wizard himself, playing live! Unfortunately, although released in glorious hi-def blu-ray it's only available direct from Storm King Productions with ridiculous shipping charges outside of the USA, but, again, it's John freakin' Carpenter!

Available on Blu-Ray directly from Storm King Productions.

2nd - Gary Numan - Savage - Live At Brixton Academy

--> Gary Numan has been the master of live shows going on 40 years now and this is yet another incredible live video for his videography. Featuring a lot of newer, harder material, it still has some modernised/darkened classics in the set list and as the live performance includes tracks from his Savage (Songs From A Broken World) album, which was a CyberNoise 2017 Directive in itself, this new live video is a must have.

Available on DVD+2xCD:
Also available as individual live videos via iTunes

3rd - Blutengel - Live im Wasserschloss Klaffenbach

--> Another great live video release, including a hi-def blu-ray edition, this time from the Germanic electronic goths…

Available on Blu-Ray+DVD+2xCD, Blu-Ray or DVD:

Blu-Ray+DVD+2xCD Blu-Ray DVD
