"MxBx 1998/13,000 Miles at Light Velocity" is the first and (so far) only live album by Melt-Banana.

The album is not a conventional "live" album: it was not recorded at a concert, but live in the studio specially for John Zorn's Tzadik Records during the band's 1998 US tour. Many of the songs are being played in slightly different arrangements than the album versions. It is kind of a "best-of" release but with all the material re-recorded live in the studio. It also features their cover of The Beach Boys' "Surfin' USA".

The album features an untitled hidden track just a few seconds after "Plot in a Pot". This is a noisy instrumental jam with someone announcing all of Melt-Banana's tour dates. The album begins in a similar way: before "Scratch Or Stitch", the same person says: "Yea looks like we're ready to go, yep here they come... yep here we go!"

The photos and artwork were made by Ikue Mori.
