Well the venue was a bleedin' Pontins holiday camp dance hall.. I don't
think they're too worried about standing waves or acoustic damping in a
venue like that! but from the front the sound was lush. Not ear bleedingly
loud, and the deep sub bass didn't distort the melodic line too much.. not
bad for what they were putting the poor PA through.. I like my music to be
bass heavy anyway.

It's a listening thing really. The rhythmic changes etc were a lot more
subtle then most autechre I've heard.. (possibly because they were playing
15 min long tracks?) so once you get yourself into that kind of gear when
your ears are working hard to pick up on those changes its easy to find
interest.. unless you really loath a bit of autechre. ;D it's a bit like
listening to music for 18 musicians by john cage.. if you really want to be
wanky about it.
