Did anybody go to this? Any youtube clips? I've just heard the Eno/Hyde track from the Athens mix and i'm hungry for more. Some very similar lyrical themes and quite a bit lifted from Downpipe. Sounds like a beat poet doing his thing to a robot band recreating some far out jazz quartet. Quite enjoyable and sits perfectly in the context of the mix.
