Tonight I am going to possibly the best gig in the history of the world ever.
Very, very excited:

lfo - LIVE (Warp Records)

Computer Controlled Djs (Sequence)24th November 2006
10:00pm till 06:00amTickets: £15
Both parties will be held at:
The Old Brewery (formerly Boddingtons)
Strangeways, Manchester, UK
Authechre describe their own music as follows: “Stupid people think there is a complexity to [our] music that is cold and impenetrable. In reality it is just fucking good and not really all that complex.”
If you would like to make up your own mind on the “cold + impenetrable vs. fucking good” debate, I think some of their music is available for listening at their Wikipedia entry.

As it turned out, the concert was slightly disappointing. Autechre played for an hour, and the first half of this was entrancing. But then quite quickly it seemed to break down into what I found to be a very tinny and repetitive pattern, that continued for the remainder of their perfomance. In this second half they managed to clear much of the crowd out of the warehouse.

I have a lot of respect for warp in general and have only recently discovered LFO. they’ve done some pretty good shit over the years, well judging by the little I’ve heard that is (3 trax). How did they go?
