Reviews

All Music Guide Review:

Review by Ted Mills
The third of the Receiver compilations consisting of live tracks and outtakes, this disc has a little more cohesion than the others, keeping in with one era of the Fall -- the Frenz Experiment tour, it seems -- and leaving all the tracks live (or at least live in the studio). Possibly one outcome of listening to these uninspiring run-throughs is an appreciation of the sound any producer has brought to the Fall. "Bremen Nacht" and "Big New Prinz," so devastating on record, sound tinny and shambolic here. Like on the other Receiver comps, the authenticity of the "live" tracks are debatable and the whole enterprise feels like some barely legal bootleg.

Mark Prindle Review:

Oswald Defence Lawyer - Receiver 1996.

7 out of 10

Okay, I finished running in place (around ten months ago), so now I can review Oswald Defence Lawyer. Well, it's LIVE!!! And that's about all I can say. It's got songs from Frenz and Kurious Oranj and whoop-de-doo. Fine sure, but why not just listen to the originals? The sound quality's better on the originals!!! There's also a horrendously non-bombastic version of "Bombast" and an early drunken attempt to cover "Just Waiting," but what is that - reason to waste this kinda money? Nah.
