Howdy! Kandis here - long time lurker, first time poster. i too was at the autechre show this past friday in montreal, and i thought it was pretty damn good! in tru to form autechre style, they somehow managed to meld mechanical abstraction in a very organic manner. made me think of the movement of an insect, with its jointed legs and hardened exo-skeleton, mechanical motion, yet organic. i love dancing to the shit - so many beats to fit your body into. sexy too (but i wont expound)! and derrick carter did indeed follow autechre with big gospel infused vocals and disco beats, a strange follow up to what came before. funny thing, i had friends there for autechre, and others there for carter. my autechre friends said things like: "dancing to this just makes sense, my body fits in". my carter friends said: "this is not dance music". there literally was a mass exodus/influx at the end of Ae and the beginning of carter, one camp rolling in, the others rolling out (can't we all just get along?). anyway, as a spokesperson for sugarrush.com, i can say that ya'll will be able to appraise the autechre set for ya'll selves. it should be up within the next couple of days. meanwhile, you can hear tracks off there latest. (sorry there was no live feed, but just you wait....). cheers k k-rock (krod rock) mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx check it out.... http://www.sugarrush.com ICQ - 6876564
