Livelines is one of the strongest EM discs I've heard in awhile for irresistibly catchy rhythms and melodies, with Boots' usual strong sequencing for hypnotic effect. This is pure synth fun, from revisited classics like "Desert Clouds" to the bouncy "Radio Danceable" , complete with some excited person whooping it up, with a single loud "WHOO!" That pretty much sums up my thoughts exactly on hearing the CD. The thumping beat on this track really moves, surrounded by the coolest electronics and a light, tinkling sequence that is tart and crisp. Very hard to sit still to this one, and who would want to? I was thrilled to hear the live rendition of "Desert Clouds" , one of my favorite tracks from my favorite Ron Boots CD, 1991's classic Ghost Of A Mist. It is faithful to the original, but different enough to warrant enjoyment in its own right. Also spot-on is the space talk as "Take Off" begins the CD. "All lights are green. We are at T-minus 18 seconds from liftoff." And off we go, stopping along the way for the vintage sequencing of "Moondust" , the powerful pounding drum solo of "Triple Rock" , and a souped-up version of "Surfacing from Beyond" , which previously appeared on one of the fine X-Files compilations. "Three In All" is a perfect closer, a mellow moody piece to bring us in for a sublime landing.
