Muse - 2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME CD

CLASSIC, EARLY FESTIVAL BROADCASTS FROM A YOUNG MUSEOn 24 December ‘98, Muse signed a deal with American label Maverick Records. Upon their return to England, Taste Media arranged deals for Muse with various labels in Europe and Australia, allowing them control over their career in individual countries. The band's first album, Showbiz, showcased Muse's aggressive yet melancholic musical style. Muse toured relentlessly in 1999, covering dates right across Europe, and even played a week of shows in North America. In Y2K, the group re-assembled in January for more European and UK gigs, then travelled to Japan and Australia. Next, they went back to the US, this time for a month, then came back to UK and Europe for more shows, before picking up the European and Asian Festival circuits from June ’00.The recordings featured on this CD all come from broadcasts of such events, and feature cuts from sets played at the Netherlands’ Pinkpop Festival in June, Germany’s Bizarre Festival in August, Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival in Fuji-Yoshida in August too, and at the UK’s Reading Festival at the end of the month.
