shocked that not many people have mentioned the coachella festival that happened in california this last weekend (we dont get many of these :) anyway, it was great fun.. but a few things struck me as odd.. it seems harcore/breakcore is in the future of IDM (well, i guess it is already here in some ways with ambush/praxis/uncivilized world, kid606 etc). however, autechre busted out a weird little breakcore song, and m-ziq got downright destructive with what sounded like a hybrid of early harsh aphex and newschool hardcore/breakcore. and it was all so wonderful! opinions? anyone? people seemed to especially eat up m-ziq.. even those who didnt seem like they were there for idm type stuffs (and even those tat seemed like they were there for rage against the machine/tool type stuffs). oh - and for those of you who are hip and beyond the hype of autechre.. thats too bad, because the live set they did was quite impressive.. VERY diverse >>> ambient-noise-breakcore-4onthefloor(almost)-tweeky beats. they went all over for one of the most intense and fun 1.5 hours i have had listening to a performance (wasnt much to see :). i guess thats all. chris. music for lunchpails . wednesdays 6-9pm . kuci 88.9fm . www.kuci.org "There is no way a beautiful woman can live up to what she looks like for any appreciable length of time." - Kilgore Trout
