Gregor Samsa’s Over Air features a live radio performance at Amsterdam’s VPRO radio station recorded in May 2008. The live appearance shows off the richness of their micro-orchestra live set up in never before heard ways, along with the breathtaking vocals of Nikki King Bennett and Champ Bennett. The live set includes songs from three previous recordings, Rest, 55:12, and their EP 27:36.

In addition to the newly mastered live session, Over Air also includes never before released music; an alternate mix of “Du Meine Leise”, XXX, a song featuring a smaller version of the band, & from the album 55:12, a remix of “We’ll Lean that Way Forever”, by Bobby Donne (of Labradford) who is also joining them on stage as part of the GS lineup. In addition to the previously unavailable music, there’s an HD quality video of the band performing live in Paris and the stunning video for Jeroen Van Aken. All told, an hour of music and over 30 minutes of video!!!

Here’s the classic Gregor Samsa track “Three” from Over Air (the song originally appears on their EP 27:36).
