Props to N.E.D. for putting together a logical set of warp favs that
hit all the high points -- some []< , some Prefuse, some Autechre,
I think I caught an early Black Dog track towards the end.. all sounded
great on the big speakers, especially rpeg with the big wet splashy
snare.
I agree about Chris, he tore it up. It seemed like he'd really put
some thought into what would make a visually and sonically interesting
live set. I loved his "dolphin speech" realtime vocal manipulations :-)
I thought the CNN vid was technically cool; I figure they had a video
capture setup and grabbed a two or three seconds out of every minute.
Somehow they managed to skip the commercials.
Based on what you & others have said, I'm sort of glad we decided
to take off at the end of Plaid's set. It was a long drive back and
my ears had taken enough abuse, even through the plugs. Must be getting
old or something.
