Seo Taiji`s live album released

Pop idol Seo Taiji issued a live Seo Taiji Band album titled ``Taiji`s Far Live Album 2000/2001,`` Wednesday, the ninth anniversary of his debut.

The new album, containing hits from throughout his career, shows another experiment by transforming the songs contained on his previous five albums into hardcore ``pimp rock.``

Such big hits as ``Rock`n`Roll Dance`` from the first album, ``Hayoga`` from the second, ``Through Eyes of Children`` from the third, ``Comeback Home`` and ``Take…`` from the fifth have quite a different feeling as they are arranged into hardcore styles.

The double album contains a total of 20 songs and reported cost 2.4 billion won to produce.
