Not that i really saw a concert...
but i got to see a good 10-20 min of sound check
so what the hell.. thats good enough for a review eh?
Vapour Space-
ever since i actually sat down and listened to his record
ive been blown away by it and love it more each time
so when we were just talking and this noise slowly creeps up
over the sound system and i realize what it was
i was quite excited
this sound check was the most unbroken and sounded great
and i danced and was happy
Aphex-
got kicked out in the middle of it, but the first half was filled
with some of the most beautiful unearthly noises
and even when we were standing outside there was just
wonderful noise emenating form the buidling
Orbital-
This was the most broken up and there werent any even close to full songs
sounded pretty good and hearing chime was cool
and they kept screwing up on the keyboards hitting a wrong note
so maybe moby was right
Moby-
this is the sound check we wlked into and it was loud and mobyish
live guitar and drummer (congas) who was playing with and without the music
so im assuming they werent on DAT..
after a few songs, AHA came on and Moby got off the stage
and stood at the back of the room watching and listening to his
soundcheck happen...
talk about Kodak moments
None of the interviews we have been planning on for weeks happened
and we didnt even get to talk to any of them except
Mark from Vap. Space, who is very nice
Also got to talk to Tim and some of the others on the tour
cuz they werent allowed inside the venue either for quite awhile
in a very abstract way, it was funny
also, on the way to dinner (which was our downfall, had we stayed
we could have been locked inside instead :)
we passed by a sign that said I.D.M. Corp.
(we also passed by aphex in his scraggly beard, but...)
dunno wha thte company does.. but it was there
