On the subject of IDM live, here are the best performances I've
seen in Los Angeles:
1. Orbital - Shrine Exposition Hall (where they have the
Grammys!)
2. The Orb - American Legion Hall
3. Autechre - Trubador
4. Aphex Twin - DJ set at Mellenium (Sentimental fave)
5. Dust Brothers - Metropolis
6. Space Time Continium - Trubador
7. Freaky Chakra vs. Single Cell Orchestra - Palace
8. Massive Attack - American Legion Hall (I know it's not
IDM but what the fuck.)
honorable mention for best non-IDM act: Portishead - American
debut (1rst show in America) at American Legion Hall. Third
show EVER. Religious experience. Also - Pizzicatto 5 - Roxy
... mighty trippy.
Worst performances: Moby - Palace, The Prodigy - American
Legion Hall (Bjork was at this show...hehe)
Hopefully U-ziq will accompany Orbital at Lollapalooza this
year. BTW, has anyone seen Nightmares on Wax live?
