been meaning to comment on this show for a week...
I was at the matmos, lesser, and slicker show here in cleveland
last week and really enjoyed it. matmos did a long set of very
fresh innovative electronica including a nice 25 minute mellow
steel guitar segment reminscent of parts of The West ep.
Lesser also did a great set filled with some blistering breaks
and brutal bass but with a very live feel to it.
Slicker was the biggest suprise. He played all new material.
I enjoyed his Confidence in Duber cd that came out last year
but this new stuff is truely amazing. He adds some really
nice melodies to his eclectic electronic mayham. I guess it's
coming out later this year along with a Slicker remix cd with a
lot of big name idmers taking stabs are remixing Slicker tracks.
Regardless, epect big things from Slicker very soon.
