don't get the wrong impression mang, I was stuck two inches inches away from
the left speaker stack for most of the set.
I burried my head in that loud shit. I loved it. The opening to tracks for
me were amazing and i was extremely happy with the chaotic beats, I didn't
want them to stop. And that fucking kick drum sound, man I couldn't get
enough of it, even if the tone never changed, it was the perfect kick
drum!!!!
I was so amazed that with all the chaos in rhythm I was able to follow along
bar after bar. and if you noticed beginning to end, there still seamed to be
some type of straight continuity, esp as the tracks would near their close.
Experimental or not, to me the set last night didn't stray too far from Ae's
form of past albums. They began and ended much the same way. So you got lost
in the middle, but you ended kinda like it started.
I only got tired of the washy trebley DSP sounds. Not that I didn't enjoy
them, but I wanted as much variety in them as the beats. I thought Curtis
Roads had more variety in his sound performance than which ever guy in Ae
was playing the knobs on the Nord. It was all good, but when I think back to
Richie Divine's gig at o2 I personally feel Divine had a better grip on
performing and presenting that type of sonic explosion to a crowd. Nevermind
the comparisons, I guess expected a more variety from two talented Ae dudes.
