luomo, vladislav delay, and i
(i can keep this brief because there's probably about three people on my friends list that would give a damn)
dateline: last saturday night
place: rothko (a trendy "underground" club)
live: luomo
this was yet another of the best electronic live sets i've ever seen. everything was excellent - sound, performance, crowd, etc. great for the dancing. highlight of the set was a luomo-style remix of jacko's "beat it". yeah! it worked, it was awesome. the bassline was amazing. the vocals were all chopped-up and skittering about like you'd expect from luomo. highlight two was going from a blistering version of "tessio" into "what good". "tessio" had the intense bassline of the moonbootica remix and lots of the acoustic guitar, and "what good" went back and forth between the spoken male vocal section and the big chord-y DROP into the female vocal chorus. amazing.
date line: last night

live: vladislav delay
not as good as luomo, but it's the kind of material that doesn't play as well live. it sounded like anima with a lot more environmental-ambiance: i.e. ping pong, things being dropped, doors slamming, creaking of chairs, some kind of metallic scraping. heavy on the dub delay stylee. the pads were thick and gorgeous, the bass resonant and rolling, the percussion random and off-kilter. it was vladislav delay.
i'm glad i got to end this nyc adventure with two amazing shows.
