Yeah I was there Friday night too. I was rather dissapointed. I only found
the last little bit of Dave Kristians' set interesting, it just didn't
really seem to be an apropriate kind of music to be doing, everybody i
could see just sorta stood there and didn't really react, I don't think
they liked it very much. And I found Autechres set to be rather disjoint.
I think that the sound didn't help much, there was a hell of a lot of
sizzle on those speakers, killing my hearing, and it seemed to be
distorting. There was better sound in the bathroom, Where I could actually
hear some of the melodies. And I left after derrick carters first song -<YUK>-
