did he say when the new album is due? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he wasn't too talkative |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
maybe you forgot to give him a compliment on his new haircut.. so what was it compared to that other time you saw him in rome couple of years ago? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it was totally different this sounded like a set of one artist, the other one like a weird dj set |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a housemate of mine played at the festival as well. that was cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet the rome one was more danceable : ) |
||||||||

yes |

i danced a bit on the mogwai dj set after |
||||||||
|
|

aphex gave the crowd two thumbs up! |

looks like an awesome venue too. cool. |

it's like 2 times smaller than it looks like it was damn crowdy |

jesus fucking CHRIST. that was without a doubt the most hardcore DJ performance i have EVER seen. Mindblowing set. Crowd went absolutely bonkers (mosh fucking pit!) and Richard gave THUMBS UP TWICE accordingly. wow. just wow. |
||||||||
|

i was dancing on mogwai too. Thought i might recognize you at one point but didn't. Met up with FAH though. That kicked ass. And Rhanna was there too :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess i should have met you guys, but i had too many aquintances to keep track of already |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you guessed right but yeah i can hardly blame you. It took me and Fah about 10 txt messages to figure out locations. Lost track of most people myself, but that didn't stop the fun. Would you agree that the Aphex set was nothing short of incredible/fantastic/amazing etc? I just looked on youtube for possible uploads but nothing yet. My friend has some pics and videos on his camera but the sound will probably be poor. And i think i would sell my left kidney for a decent recording audio recording of the set. What was up with the Paard crew filming the whole deal from 50 different angles? |

|
|
have you seen aphex before? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i haven't. have you? thank goodness i didn't miss this gig. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i have..i was just interested to find out if it was better than what he was doing the past few years..because i think his set usually leaves that sort of impression when people see him for the first time : ) really, it's nothing you've heard before..all venetian snares, clarks,.. don't come anywhere close to what he does hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know but it sure didn't compare to the warehouse set description i read, except that the beginning of the set was nothing special and got progressively better. He made a few pretty harsh mixing errors, but nobody seemed to mind (i sure didn't). It only showed it was anything but a 'play pause and relax' kind of set. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right..he plays an awesome song and you think it can't get any better than that..then he plays a better one and again a better one..till the end as for his mixing..i really couldn't care less about mixing, i don't pay any attention to that (not that aphex can't mix or something), and some people seem live djing is all about mixing. but the thing is when the mixing is perfect music is usually the same throughout the whole set which is very boring. with aphex it's all, or mostly about the music selection. and i love that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea the sound dropped out completely at times. but i liked it somehow i liked it the other way around from j, I didn't care too much about the harsh stuff in the end |
||||||||
|
|

I think with aphex sets, you enjoy it a whole lot more because: a) you love his music b) everyone else loves his music so the atmosphere is great His warehouse project set wasn't great by any standard, but i'm sure most people who were there thought it was special simply because he was the guy they went to see, and theres an undeniable charm about seeing him live, especially since he doesn't perform much anymore. I personally have seen much, much better sets though. Your description of the night in NL sounds good though, so I guess he played a better set there. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
if you're there to dance the harsh stuff at the end is to finish you off : ) yes, im a fanboy :D |
||||||||
|
|

i got the impression he usually plays better sets abroad than uk (though that atp set was great), and i only saw him play in the old europe and it was really excellent stuff every time..but there's the appeal of his persona in it as well ofcourse..though when people get high and start going wild i doubt anyone thinks it's the legend up there spining.. |
||||||||

my body just won't move at stuff it doesn't like like when I have to dance to born slippy my body gets depressed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah man it was awesome! Really great to finally meet you J, you're an awesome dude. Big you should've joined in as well. Too bad Rotator's laptop crashed and ended the set sooner than planned, but owell. Also ran into a coworker there :D |
||||||||

undeniable truth there. i was extremely upset about not being able to see him (litteraly) because too many people were in the way. And the thought of perhaps bumping into him at the hotel sent shivers of pleasure and terror down my spine. sadly/gladly i didn't though. When he thanked the crowd for being hardcore or something like that, it really was quite a magical moment. And it's a bit odd because many of his releases don't particularly fascinate me in any way, but after his set was over i considered myself a diehard fan nonetheless. this is a bit silly i suppose, but fuck it. |

a friend just notified me of :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

aw that's nice..and nice to see people dance..not like them italians who just stand there and look at him :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
dance?! what the hell. it looks more like a biohazard concert |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, can one really tango or waltz to that sort of music? my definition of dance is just let go to the music : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let yourself go to the music* |
||||||||
|
|

the 'moshing' looked pretty aggressive to me but as far as i know there were zero incidents that night. just a crowd going mental and getting almost too much energy from the music. i think it was perhaps one of the reasons why richard gave thumbs up after. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there was bass and the crowd gave thansk? |
||||||||
|
|

didnt know there was such a moshpit going on just saw a lot of beer flowing in the air when aphex turned some other hardstep track on. wich was a bit too much of the same i do like his classic jungle-hardcore sets more and in the beginning there was a lot of acid going the same stuff autechre played like dj pierre and jackmaster funk stuff. and the same tracks like in his melbourne 2004 set he also played that awesome "bass master warriors" jungletrack but that was really the only jungle so a bit dissapointing. And also no real hardcore at all it was just all postmodern-hardstep And the mixing was really bad in the second half stupid dropouts and he was playing tracks far too long but enjoyable though. Glad i didnt mis it because once in your lifetime you must have seen the god of electronic music |

hahha thats exactly what i was thinking, dancing to idm is one thing Biohazard is another,for me seeing afx for the first time that would be sad, seeing the crowd like that New trend 08: Non-IDM mosh pit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"braindance is dead! long live the mosh-pit!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
out on tuesday, I think Richard opens up, then moshs in the crowd for their set. |

very nice..i hope someone takes some time and translates the pahex bit in that article : ) nice vids too..i wish someone recorded that harsh stuff right at the end..but i guess no one was quite themselves at that point :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that harsh stuff at the end is just the current value track i linked in my post before soulseek it i would say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that one came in the end? no noise or gabba? ace track though, i checked some current value on youtube |
