Love the audio on these. Been going through OM recently, and discovered the live recordings even more recently. Feels like a Grateful Dead 2.0 but more metal the way each live show is special.
I am familiar with playing drums, so therefor this comment is based on a different point of view. Both (Hakius and Amos) are great drummers. I have to admit that the transcendental way of playing is more Hakius thing (which I also like more). Nevertheless, Amos has his moments. On Advaitic Songs, some fills and beats are actually really amazing and inspiring. Hakius leaving is a loss but Lowe makes it easier. But yet Roeder compared to Amos... I don't know... The Universe must have a plan.
I think without Amos, OM would still be doing EXACTLY the same thing they were doing on the 1st album. Amos definitely added multiple layers of composition on Advaitic Songs, those string arrangements were definitely his and he has pushed Al to progress beyond that one bass riff he's been riding ad nauseam since Sleep. Robert Lowe has also brought a lot to the table. Hakius was good, but Amos bring so much more.

Hell quivers in fear when this plays.
@highbotanistrobert I covered this on instagrams
"Arise to sky and set free, release toward horizon." EPIC

Lowe is gone now. It's not the same with the new guy...
@@Ubik_Fresh you raise a valid point. However personally speaking, bring back heavy Om!!! Hahah
The velocity with the Haikus albums was a vibration cut short
This was my respite at the end of an intense LSD trip, helped me find the way back to Earth!
Al was feeling a bit funky here. love it.
No hay comparación. Chris Hakius, es EL BATERISTA DE OM y no hay más. Después Om perdió toda mística.
Chris Hakius le daba el sonido que OM necesita actualmente
si, ahora el sonido es muy elaborado.... OM parte primitivo, minimalista. esa era la esencia.
de donde sos hermano ?
Santiago de Chile y tú?
Entre Rios,Argenitna
Such an awesome variation of this song. Thanks Al
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
However simple, this comment resonates perfectly with feelings of listening to this haha
Live conference is the best Om album in my opinion
