Berlin’s The Ocean returns with a one-of-a-kind live album that captures the essence of a world paused in time. Their Phanerozoic concept album is performed in its entirety during a period when live shows were a distant memory. Released on September 25, 2020, amidst the global pandemic, this album is a testament to resilience and creativity. Despite the lack of touring support, Phanerozoic II entered the official German album charts at No. 9.
What sets Phanerozoic Live apart is its unconventional nature. Recorded in a cultural vacuum, it reflects a surreal moment in history when the world as we knew it came to a halt. The absence of a cheering crowd highlights the eerie silence between tracks, intensifying the emotional power of each song. This album is not just a collection of live recordings; it’s an experience that resonates deeply with listeners.

I bought the Phanerozoic live album vinyl, and it was worth every penny. The emotional intensity is palpable, even without an audience. Highly recommend!
