I've heard a live recording of him and it was pretty shit. I've also heard a lot of bad reviews from people at xlt. It's just his tracks with a load of glitchy noise over the top. Impossible to enjoy.

so it wont probably be worth the hassle to travel 120 km and pay over 30 euros.

i know someone who saw him open for radiohead. said he was decent, didn't really measure up to his records though. sounds a bit of a hassle for what might just be a mediocre show.

I saw him live when he was touring with Prefuse 73 in Detroit. Had to sit through him to get to Scott Herron.

It was the worst electronic show i have ever sat through. You could barely hear the music which because he burried it under Merzbow-style noise.
His albums are so chilled out, i expected the show to be similar. But instead he pummled his poor audience with high pitched squeeling and ear-drum piercing noise.
Then when his set was over, I swear he gave a really dirty look to the audience.

I think we were at the same show. Sounds pretty accurate.

this was in Seattle, last year maybe? It is possible he has improved his show since then.

I agree with keyfumbler: if you've the money then go instead of wasting your time on the cough watching TV, on the other hand; i saw him live once, and i would not travel 120km and spend 30 euros to see him again, i wouldnot even go if it was 30 eurocents and 120 meters travelling

Four tet live isn't exactly a funk extavaganza, it's more like his tracks but not as good. Too much uncontrolled 'noise' that doesn't add in my opinion.

yeah, i know :(
ok, tracklisting then
1. Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Haunted Feelings 2. Koushik – Battle Rhymes For Battle Times 3. Hal Blaine - Wiggy (November) 4. Manfred Mann Chapter Three - One way glass 5. Terry Riley – Music For The Gift (Part 2) 6. Max Roach – January V 7. Tortoise – Why We Fight 8. Gravediggaz - 2 Cups of Blood 9. Joe Henderson - Earth 10. Linda Perhacs – Parallelograms 11. Four Tet – Castles In The Sand 12. Jef Gilson and Malagasy - Valiha Del 13. Madvillain – Strange Ways (Koushik’s remix) 14. Smoke – Griffo 15. Fairport Convention - Tale In Hard Time 16. John Saunders – Tinkle 17. Icarus - Benevolent Incubator 18. Manitoba - 218 Beverley 19. ’Dont’s’ -(taken from) Bits and Bobs by David Shrigley.
the koushik, joe henderson, and fairport tracks in particular are amazing, as well as kieran's own cover of a hendrix track. but what's really great about it is he picks all sorts of stuff from all sorts of genres, and yet it flows beautifully. just like you'd expect four tet to do.
