I'd like to post a "me too" on this, as I just found out about this list
about 2 hours ago. What's the deal?
ObAFX: I was at the VapourSpace/Orbital/AphexTwin/Moby show in Boston on
Tuesday night and while Orbital was really good (better than when they
opened for Meat Beat Manifesto last year, I thought), the Aphex Twin's
material (some of which I recognized, some of which I didn't) blew me
away. It was hard, it was different, it was absolute brain-candy dance
music, an unexpected treat behind each beat. And it seemed a little more
complex than average, as there was almost *no* melody to fall back on; the
whole set was almost entirely rhythms. And the noises involved were
certainly not your standard fare. Extremely entertaining and very good
besides.
(Moby's set was an entirely different beast altogether, excellent but in a
different way.)
