TEF is, without a doubt, my favorite new band of the past few years. And I will only say this: The live show was pretty boring. I mean, I got to hear third eye on a big stereo, which was cool, but the show left a lot to be desired. More importantly, however, I think Ghost is far weaker than Semtex the album and Semtex the single. Semtex the album is much, much noisier, and Semtex the single is much more "standard" jungle but absolutely amazing. Third Eye is so far ahead of the rest of IDM in so many ways... Both experimental and emotional at the same time, two things missing from almost every IDM record I've ever heard (save Autechre). --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto.
