I'm surprised nobody talked about Autechre's last night performance in Montreal. I was there but since I'm not a big Autechre fan I don't really have any special comment to mention. The show started one hour late, DJ Luv was pretty good, DJ Chantal's set was agonizingly long. I expected some lightwork but all we got was a few flashes and a stupid blue lightspot that stayed on for two hours. Then Dave Kristian came onstage. The first 15 minutes were awful but then he played this great ambient bit, it turned out to be the greatest moment of the evening. Then he left and Autechre appeared. They played about 6 or 7 different tracks that I didn't know. I liked maybe one or two. There was no big cheer and applause at the end of their act, I think that most of the audience didn't liked it very much as well, I might be wrong though, maybe they were too stunned. I didn't stay for the other DJ and the after-party. All throughout the night the sound was bad, lots of unwanted distortion I think, most of the subtilities of the sound were lost. Anyways, that's my short review. Say, did the RealAudio live stream work on Sugarrush? chris
