In brief, the first two "tracks" were very lulling, dark, and zenlike...
which I thought was a positive thing. Things got insane after two songs
though. Patience is a virtue.
I mean, OF COURSE it was going to be a difficult listen! I hope some of
you guys didn't prepare for the show with "Amber" on repeat in the car.
Rob Hall = bootylicious. Early Factory/Arthur Baker/fucked up electro
synth.
Russell = insane. Yeah, not for those who require beatmatched sets, but
at one time I think he played the Boredoms, then later on.. Bam Bam or
Baby Ford. Brilliant!
O.S.T = washy noisy David Cronenburgy. Wasn't really in the mood for it,
but it built really nicely
Autechre = amazing. Not really "fun", but very dark and psychedelic and
random.
I still stand my statement. Don't miss ANY of the performers.
Sorry to those who were bored.
