Rygg commented on the release, "This was our pre-release party for the commemorative album Childhood's End, which we had just sewn up when we received the invitation from Roadburn.

A one-shot psychedelic blowout or perhaps some sort of karaoke for our vestigial veterans; felt quite invigorating after the doom and gloom of the last few years.

We gathered the guys who were involved in the album sessions and rehearsed the songs a couple of days before travelling to Tilburg.

They were playing set of '60s psyche covers – and while the band themselves had a pretty good stab at recreating the sounds of the time, the alchemical tools to make it something special seemed just out of frontman Kristoffer Rygg's reach.

Ulver's restless reinvention is rarely less than compelling, so it was unusual to see their ambitions outstrip their ability.
