It was also a way to close the chapter of "Reves Mecaniques", his last studio album.The cd includes a one hour live gig with an unreleased track and 3 studio tracks (13 tracks in total!).
The DVD features more than 2 hours of visual material with the live, a 52 minutes documentary about The Hacker, early live videos with Miss Kittin and Perspect and bonuses.Through the documentary The Hacker aimed at sharing the universe in which he lives and put all its key actors in the limelight. These people (DJ Hell, Miss Kittin, Oxia, Terence Fixmer,..) not only helped concretize his passion, but were also indispensable in the development of electronic music, both in France and abroad."The live in this DVD has particular significance in my eyes" says Michel Amato aka THE HACKER. "It was recorded in the city where I started off, Grenoble, in October 2006, or 10 years to the day after my first steps as electronic musician".
