About 1000 people showed up at the USF saturday night to hear and see the Aphex Twin do his stuff on his laptop and turntables. And it was amazing! He started playing around eleven and kept going for about two hours. I'm not quite sure what he played but it was impossible not to be moved by it. I recognized a few old Aphex trax - but I don't remember any specifics now I'm afraid... :) He played a lot of different stuff, ranging from hiphop and drill'n'bass to good old afx-ish techno. The set worked extremely well with a crowd of that size and it turned out to be a feelgood event, indeed. To get a glimps of the star you had to approach the stage where he was sitting on the floor and keeping his head down most of the time. By the time Satanstornado started their assault on us I was pretty drunk so I don't remember too much, but it was loud, hard and deep and it made half the crowd disappear within a few minutes. It sounded like 1000 beats pr. minute and I jumped around screaming my lungs out so it was quite fun but rather insane. Today my voice is gone but it was wort it. This is the third time I see Merzbow and if he returns to Bergen again I'll be there! Thanks a lot Richard - You did a great job!
No pic's I'm afraid, but here is some local press:
