Just wanted to throw in my review on this great tour. I really
couldn't decide if I liked Markus (Oval) that much. I'm sure his music
sounds great on cd, but I was having a tough time getting into it live
just as others have stated before. He seemed very unenthusiastic (I
guess that kind of matched the mood of his music). He was kind of a
cross between SAW II ambience and Autechre's pleasant harshness. I
think it would be cool if there was a portion of the screen behind him
which could show what he was doing on the mac.
On the flip side, I totally dug Tortoise. Great caliber musicians
who seemed very happy to be performing for our audience. There were many
times in the performance where there were sounds I thought were
computer/synth generated on the cd, but were actually live
instrumentation. Basically a great mesh between organic and synthetic.
Definitely catch them if you can and long live the xylophone!
I picked up that special remix cd they were selling and it's pretty
cool. I especially enjoyed the Spring Heel and Vibert mixes.
On a totally different note....
Has anyone seen Rob Playford or Aphrodite vs. the Jungle Brothers live?
These are headliners for 2 separate raves going on down here and just
wanted to hear anyone's review who has seen either one. I have seen
Aphrodite by himself over Christmas and he successfully had our asses
moving. There is more info on these events on the Gotta Move Productionz
web site (www.gottamoveproductionz.com)
Ario.
