"Since debuting on the classic 3rd Bass single “The Gas Face”, hip-hop folk hero MF DOOM has remained one of the most interesting figures in the rap universe. In an era when touring is paramount and most artists are more accessible than ever,DOOM has also managed to cultivate an aura of mystery by refusing to show his face, shunning social media, rarely performing live, and occasionally sending masked imposters to perform in his place. For these reasons, DOOM‘s 2005 project Live From Planet X remains a historic document.
Originally released on CD only, the album is now available on vinyl for the first time ever, complete with new artwork and metallic foil print. Broadcasting from an undisclosed location, Live From Planet Xoffers fans a chance to experience the exceedingly rare genius of an MF DOOM performance with crisp, “straight from the soundboard” live audio recordings. Recorded before the release of the classic DOOM x Madlib collaboration Madvillainy, this collection also features DOOM performing Madvillain classics for the first time ever.
Planet X contains over 50 minutes of live recordings spanning classic DOOM albums like Operation Doomsday, Madvillainy, MM…FOOD?, and more." - Nature Sounds
