Agreed. Their live shows are a different boat entirely from their
album material. The problem, I think, lies in that they're doing
rather intricate evolving tracks live, but the PAs and rooms are so
ass that it sounds less spectacular than it would at home. I was
able to find a bootleg of the show I attended in minneapolis and,
much to my surprise, it sounded a lot better in the crappy recording
than it did at the actual show. of course, At home, you also have
the advantage of listening to it again -- something that autechre
tracks have sorta needed since after Amber.
Oh well. At least their live work is completely new and different
compared to their released tracks. You can tell they're not really
into making dance music, though.
