Another live album from the band since the hugely popular double disk Hullabaloo album! This is compiled of a cd of them performing their live set from their amazing Wembley stadium gig on the 16th and 17th of june along with a dvd showing footage of the concert with behind the scenes action! The cd/dvd was released on the 17 March 2008.
HAARP was derived from the american investigation project called the 'High Frequency Active Aural Research Program' nothing much to say about that really except it was a period where lots of antennas were put up which does explain the number of antennas and satellite dishes on the stage during their performance!
CD Tracklisting:
1: Dance of the knights introduction 2: Knights of cydonia 3: Hysteria 4: Supermassive Black Hole 5: Map of the problematic 6: butterflies and hurricanes 7: invincible 8: starlight 9: time is running out 10: New Born 11: Unintended 12: Micro Cuts 13: Stockholm Syndrome 14: Take a bow
DVD Tracklisting:

As you can see unfortunately quite a few tracks were removed from the cd version in comparison to the dvd but still a great choice of tracks from the gig!
The bonus footage on the dvd shows the band waiting backstage before they went on stage and shows how they managed to get to the catwalk in the middle of the crowd using a very 'great escape' style pulley system which is worth a look at even if not anything else! Its really nice to see how the band are living normally rather then just on stage all of the time and see what they get up to when not rocking around!
Muse said themselves that this gig was the biggest and most amazing gig they had ever played and felt they put every single ounce of their energy into both the live effort and pre production and this cd/dvd really does show that! Regardless of whether you like muse or not, if your a fan of live music then simply watching this dvd will prove to you why muse are constantly winning the best live act award!
Very very very good buy! you get things for the price of one with this! sit and watch the live dvd and then whack the cd on your ipod and listen on the go! not many bands are releasing material like this unfortunately but muse have done and done so very well!

flirt with pomposity, and perform the odd grand gesture. Watching Muse's live CD/DVD H.A.A.R.P--recorded over two nights in June 2007--you're left wondering if Wemb...
Postage & Packaging: Free! Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours...
Advantages: Muse at their best, almost all their great hits, 'Best live band' Captured perfectly Disadvantages: The need to buy the cd to recieve the dvd.
Advantages: Great for those wishing to relive the gig, good for those wishing they were there Disadvantages: Would be good as a double CD/DVD rather than two seperate commodities
