And my sincere regrets to anyone who missed Alec Empire and the DHR crew
for $3 at Madness last night. It was incredibly enjoyable the way that
scene in Lost Highway where the guy gets buried to the pituitary in a glass
table is funny. He started with a mix of ultra-fast stuff ... it's hard
to identify particular tracks, since the beat and/or tempo changed every
fifteen seconds or so ... and slowed down (to save us all coronaries) to
some slower but blisteringly noisy passages, scattering ATR tracks and
announcements throughout. Gotta love those Germans!
He was followed by a stunning and floor-clearing live p.a. by Shizuo(?).
Considerably more abstract ... killer breaks would swirl in but then
mysteriously vanish under a barrage of buzzes, distorted samples, and
semi-rhythmic noise bursts. IDM? If you can dance to this stuff, you must
be in Mensa. Beautiful.
Bandulu dropped in, but apparently Alec's not quite their cup of tea. =)
Anyway, I don't know how long Alec's in the States for ... but keep your
eyes open!
