The sound wasn't too good at his gig as well. His music was OK, but it
lacked something for me. His gig wasn't as special as Autechre's or as
dancable as B12's. Maybe i will like his records better. The Freeform
track on the Eurowarp tape is quite good altough i listened just once to
it.
Speaking of the tape, who is Mira Calix?

Autechre was amazing, especially their second track. They only did three
tracks, but they were very long. With their minimal structures and
polyrhythms they build an incredible tension. Their music is beautiful
but very cold at the same time. I've seen Autechre a couple of times
before and they they're only getting better. It would be interesting if
they released a live album some day.

I don't know what to think of the DJing. It was certainly great to hear
all those classics like Cybotron's Clear and Rhythm is Rhythm's Nude
Photo, but you can get every almost every audience dancing with tracks
like that. The mixing wasn't very good as well. But i should't complain
really...

It's almost as good as Peel Seamus' tape :)

Meeting so many people of the list was half the fun of the night for me.
Strangely enough there weren't too many people at the party, but almost
50% of the audience seemed to be subscribed to Lowlands! :)
