Just got back from the Terry Riley gig at the Barbican...still feel a bit woozey and I keep hearing music in everything, like computer fans and next door`s air-conditioning. "In C" was fucking superb, with about 20 people on-stage playing various instruments, went on for about an hour I think, beautiful improvisations and interplay between the musicians. Jarvis cocker didn`t do much, just pressed a few keys on an organ and blew into a vocoded mic... Springheel Jack and Paul Hartnoll did this thing with a load of turntables in the foyer afterwards. It was alright in a let`s-get-horizontal kinda way, but nothing like what I witnessed before-hand. I didn`t make it to the LUX or the Spitz though, cos I was on me own and got scared and ran home. G`night. <---HEATsink--->
