That's an odd way to spell

Yeah, there's a bunch of live ATS stuff on the (just released!) BBC box set, and it's much better than I remember. Not disputing it's their worst album, but it's quite good.
I do love
Up and (especially)
Accelerate, both of which I would say are underrated.
Also, the
Live at the Olympia double album is great. 39 songs, most of which are lesser known,* played at a rocking pace.
*They play a combined two songs from
Out of Time,
Automatic, and
Monster, and one of them is 'Circus Envy'.
