saw Aphex Twin last night

Mind sufficiently blown. Has to have been one of the best audio visual experiences I've witnessed. Weirdcore's on the fly video editing elevated James' history lesson in techno flawlessly. Did anyone here catch his set in Berlin or Mexico, or was anyone here at the Brooklyn show last night? Curious to hear thoughts.

I took some pics and short videos but Brooklyn Vegan definitely has better quality pictures than I took.

Sounds intense. I'll probably watch the set later

I'm a casual fan but from what I've seen of live footage it looks like an experience.

I didn't even realise he was playing Berlin.

A friend saw him in London a few months ago, in a fantastic warehouse venue. The photos & short video clips looked incredible. He's one of those artists, while not necessarily my cup of tea, who I'd love to experience live. Intense seems to be pretty accurate.

Sounds like you had a great night . We decided not to go to the recent ones because we thought the venues were too big.

Saw him back in the early 90's and a few more times over the years including a double bill with Boards of Canada.

Are you loathsome tonight?

Oh come on. That’s a bucket list bill for me, although I’ve pretty much given up all hopes of seeing Boards live anyhow.
