reading stuff about live shows..the last i went to was tribal
gathering...
gus gus did a great show...lots of nicely distorted beats,and the show
had humour too,
one of the main guys coming on stage like a maniac guitar weilding
guy,but it was all done well and was meant to be funny..(i hope)..tongue
in cheek...the music was very good,the sounds was good and the show
lasted for a while ...they were one o the highpoints for me....kraftwerk
gave a good show..everyone knew what to expect and they didnt let us
down at all..the even came on at the end in luminous stripy suits and
played a new track...its was the best concert ive been
to..atmosphere,music..and i think everyone resepcted kraftwerk for what
theyve done...it looked like they themselves were enjoying it as well..
i wasnt too impressed with orbital,the sounds was very echoey,and coming
on after kraftwerk..well they couldnt relly compete(but r ussually good)
maybe another topic for ranting on....why do djs get so much credit when
most of em play other peoples songs...djs in the uk,like pete
tong..still play the same stale house/garage music but r making pots of
cash doing it...id much prefer to hear stuff like
blackdog/b12/autechre/global comm/ etc on the radio...but this tends to
get played on late night shows,or john peel plays the odd
techno/electronic tune like some autechre remixes now and again...i
heard him play come to daddy,but it sounded like random garbage to me(i
like most of aphex stuff,but hes not withought the odd rubbish tune!!!!)
well,some comments from me...go and see gus gus if u can,and the new
bjork stuff sounds promising too(thanks to lfo)
wayne.
