Went to the Limelight last night to see Vapourspace, Prototype 909 and Bill Laswell. All played excellent sets. I couldn't believe the sounds Laswell was wrenching from his bass. His performance just consisted of him, his instrument and a huge wall of speakers about 8 feet high and 20 feet wide. Vapourspace was especially wicked, mixing, remixing and layering his old stuff. Unfortunately, I had to take off just when he started playing his new stuff so I can't judge what his new stuff will sound like. Also, by some miracle of the techno gods, Wednesday the 21 will bring: APHEX TWIN EAT STATIC BANCO DE GAIA to the Limelight! INCREDIBLE!!! How did such a cheezy club suddenly start getting these bands?!? Incidentally, the Limelight probably has the best sound system I have ever heard at a club. I can't believe I didn't sustain bass-induced internal damage from the show last night. Peace. ||| oo < = ----->APHEX, EAT STATIC, BANCO DE GAIA!!! YESSS!!!

Huh? Ok, Ok, not to be too picky or obnoxious, but first of all you did not see Laswell onstage (if he was anywhere he was mixing, but that wasn't too aparent anyhow). The guy onstage was Andy Hawkins, who plays guitar for the macho jock dub/metal band Blind Idiot God. The "project" at the Limelight show was known as Azonic. Second, you claim he was playing a bass?!?, well I can understand confusing Laswell, for someone else, but christ he had two guitars. One a doubleneck Gibson, the other was an Ibanez (7 string, I believe.) Definately not a bass in sight, unfortunately. Because it surely needed something to spice up the otherwise dullingly self indulgent open string with reverb and delay going through four full stacks and a rack of proccessing gear the size of an inexpensive loft performance. Ugh, sorry, I don't want to slight the author of the post, he appears to have enjoyed himself, I wish I could have said the same, but bad metal intros dragging on for 40 minutes generally depresses me.

Hopefully a live performance, and not a DJing set. Cheers, gooey

I must agree. I would REALLY enjoy seeing Eat Static. I almost never go to shows, as Skinny Puppy has spoiled me for most others. <SIGH> Oh well.

Well, hop in your car Saturday morning and drive down to L.A. and you can see 1/3rd of the above at the Millennium rave/movie shoot in downtown L.A. that night ... Of course, we have to put up with Deee-Lite as the additional act with the Aphex Twin, whereas NYC gets Eat Static and Banco De Gaia. Sigh. There ain't no justice in this world, I tell ya ... At least now we know why the Millennium flyers say "Aphex Twin - Only West Coast appearance" on them instead of "Only U.S. appearance". - Greg

So this marks the second time that Richard has "quit" then started a tour again. Shades of Sinead O'Connor.
