so, me and Stimpee saw Aphex Twin this saturday. We actually also met him in person cause he was staying at the same hotel as us
Anyway I was impressed with the show, even though I'm really not all that familiar with his work (I only own the ambient works 1 cd, and he played only one track of that) but the sound was solid and progressed from some calmer electro/breakbeat stuff to absolutely batshit
insane loud&distorted at the end. I had to move to the back about halfway trough cause it was getting too hot and too loud in the middle of the crowd. The video screens were showing a combination of a spinning AFX logo, psychedelic patterns and computer rendered versions of Aphex's face being distorted in various ways, and getting more and more evil as the set progressed. For some reason during the last track they were showing what looked like a autopsy/dissection on a human body, which was pretty gross.
