Released just a year after their self-titled debut, Live is a recording of the French DJ crew Birdy Nam Nam’s 2006 show at La Cigale in Paris. Featuring 12 performances which fuse classical, jazz, and funk entirely via turntables, it includes four tracks that appear on their first LP, “Ready for War, Ready for Whut,” “Too Much Skunk Tonight,” “Abbesses,” and “Kind of Laid Back,” alongside eight previously unreleased songs.
