MxBx 1998/13,000 Miles At Light Velocity is the first (and so far) only 'live' album by Melt-Banana.
Although this is not quite a regular live album. This was not recorded at a concert but live in the studio specially for John Zorn's Tzadik Records on their 1998 US tour. Many of the songs are being played in slightly different arrangements than the album versions. It is kind of a "best-of" release but with all the material re-recorded live in the studio. It also features their cover of The Beach Boys Surfin' USA.
There is also an untitled hidden track just a few seconds after Plot In a Pot, this is a noisy instrumental jam with someone announcing all of Melt-Banana's tour dates. The album begins in a similar way before "Scratch Or Stitch" same person says: "Yea looks like we're ready to go, yep here they come... yep here we go!"
The photos and artwork were made by Ikue Mori.
