The Limoges recording was originally released as "Limoges" on a limited edition 7-inch single in 1983 and given to subscribers of Frith and Cutler's first collaborative album, Live in Prague and Washington (1983).[3][4][5][2]
In a review at AllMusic, Rick Anderson described Live in Trondheim, Berlin & Limoges, Vol. 2 as "arrythmic ... without anything approaching melody", but "never unapproachable". He added that there is "something sweet-natured" about the "weird, sumptuous and virtuosic noise" Cutler and Frith make, and felt that even listeners not partial to noise music should have no trouble appreciating the "textural complexity" of their "endless inventiveness".[1]
^"Vol. 2" in the title refers to this album being Frith and Cutler's second collaborative album.[1] Some sources leave "Vol. 2" off the title.[2]
^Track 4 ("Nothing") is 3 minutes of silence; the venue is given as "Nowhere".[3][2]
^Track 5 ("Meltdown") was sourced from a scratched 7-inch single of the original release of "Limoges" in 1983. "Limoges"'s original tape masters (probably a cassette tape) had been lost.[3][4][5][2]
