Encyclopedia
Live from Planet X is a live album
by MF DOOM
, released on March 5, 2005 through Nature Sounds
. It was recorded live in San Francisco, California
, on 15 August 2004. Originally titled Live at the DNA Lounge, the album was initially given away with Special Herbs, Vols. 5 & 6
, an instrumental hip hop album by DOOM under his "Metal Fingers" alias. It contains tracks from almost all DOOM-related projects at that point, including Operation: Doomsday
, Take Me to Your Leader
, Vaudeville Villain
and Madvillainy
.
The incorrect listing of "Go with the Drawls" and "Gas Flows" is the result of a miscommunication between the DJ
and DOOM. The beat for the track "Go with the Drawls" begins while DOOM begins to rap "Gas Flows". However, after the first verse, DOOM instructs him to switch the beat to the "Gas Drawls" and they begin the song again.
