Olof was excellent there and those visual effects were the right side of trippy for a quarantine disco

Weird. Have drunkenly/randomly ended up playing "Live at Terminal 5" tonight. I think it was partly suggested by a friend watching "Handmaid's Tale" and messaging me about a (non-Knife) track and my brain taking it from there.

Rex The Dog is streaming a live synth Knife tribute special on twitch - deconstructing his Heartbeats remix rn

They never made a better album than Silent Shout, but every time I listen to Shaking the Habitual I appreciate it more. It kinda reminds me of Laurie Anderson's United States Live in scope (though USL is 2 records/like 40 songs longer). I'm not throwing either on very frequently because they're both demanding, ambitious listens, but they reward you for putting in the work.

Having said that, the apex of the Knife's career is/was/will always be the live version of "Heartbeats"
