The stripped down prog jazz/rock Sixtoo set was killer. P-Love is the master
of the stylophone (which is even more impressive given that it arrived in
the mail that morning).
Seeing Coil was legendary and bordered on religious.
Senor Coconut was genius. There were so many levels of humor going on there
it's hard to know where to start...a tight pant chilean dude singing "you're
all showroom dummies, cha cha cha" is a starting point.
Cobblestone Jazz should be burned at the stake. It's 2003...improvised piano
noodles over generic house with a vocoder really shouldn't be at a festival
of experimental music (or really anywhere for that matter...).

>> The bad: The "turntablist" Experience 1 feat. Philip Jeck, Mirina
>> Rosenfeld, Martin Ng, et al. "scratching" noise. Fucking jerk-off bullshit

>> The ugly: The fucking turtleneckin' IDM fanboy who told me was I talking
>> too loud during the above-mentioned "bad" set and that it had been the
>> worst 3 minutes of his mutek experience. Hey shithead: go fuck yourself.
>> If you want to enjoy bad non-music without hearing conversations, DONT GO

>> The very good: Kontakt der Junglinge. Wow, wow, wow. Unbelievably focused
