If You're Feeling Sinister: Live at the Barbican is a live album by Scottish pop group Belle & Sebastian. It features the performance of their 1996 album, If You're Feeling Sinister, in its entirety. It was recorded at the Barbican Arts Centre in London on 25 September 2005.

Release

[edit]

Having never been entirely satisfied with the production on the original release of If You're Feeling Sinister, Belle & Sebastian saw this live release as an opportunity to rectify their previous problems, enhancing the sound with clearer, more defined parts and a string section.[citation needed]

The album was released exclusively through iTunes Music Store, with the proceeds going to the DEC's "Asia Quake Appeal". The concert was one of a series organised by All Tomorrow's Parties in which artists performed their most popular albums in their entirety, known as Don't Look Back.[2] The album has since been released on other online music stores, including Bleep.com and Karma Download.

Following the performance, the group continued with an hour-long encore of early non-album songs (as collected on the Push Barman to Open Old Wounds compilation) through to then-contemporary tracks. These do not form part of this album.
