The Horrible Truth About Burma

On the recorded material they released before initially breaking up, Mission of Burma favoured a dry aesthetic that merely hinted at the influential group's status as one of the loudest and most physical stage acts of the '80s college-rock scene. This live album corrects the record via blistering, disorienting cuts like “Tremolo”, kinetic-but-precise airings of deep cuts like "Peking Spring" and an overwhelmingly epic cover of Peru Ubu's "Heart of Darkness".
