Maybe they spotted your fake ID coming down the block and turned you away at the door. Perhaps you sipped a few too many appletinis before the show and spent the evening doubled over in a heap of green regret. Or does your agoraphobia make the idea of hordes of people getting down to dance music in the flesh seem a little too much to take?

Whatever the reason, if you've missed out on some of the finer electronic artists doing their thing in front of an audience recently, you're in luck: Pascal Arbez-- the man behind Vitalic-- has joined a few other notables in dropping a live set onto wax this fall.

Recorded at an October 2006 show at Brussels' Ancienne Belgique, Vlive collects a full, unedited, postproduction-free Vitalic throwdown, complete with "extracts" from his awesome OK Cowboy and eight tracks native to his live set. It's out September 24 on Different.

Those of you impervious to the elements and willing to get your troubled groove on with Pascal in person can do so on a handful of Vitalic live appearances across Europe this fall.
