Here’s another section of that same song: 

Sounding like there was a bunch of great unreleased gems played at the Rosendal gig, this one sounds epic - https://streamable.com/fnh00v
Can't wait for some of these nuggets to be unleashed

You know it was good when you start getting this kind of reviews lmoa

"Let's start by saying that we understand that Best Kept Secret is the most alternative of the major Dutch festivals, and that the headliners are therefore not always the most accessible or radio-friendly artists. That is not necessary at all. But in our view there is a fairly large difference between alternative and very niche. Aphex Twin fell into that second category as far as we were concerned. The only ones who seemed to enjoy the set from start to finish were the ones who were either walking around in good man T-shirts or completely under the influence of narcotics. The objective listeners and more casual fans of Aphex Twin were mostly confused and had to wait a long time for something high-profile to happen. Music is a subjective experience that is experienced differently by everyone, but what exactly was the thinking behind a headliner (and closing of the biggest stage, of all things) that is so niche that only a very select few could enjoy it?"

It was indeed quite funny seeing all the normies get confused and stop dancing when the beat changed a bit or things got a bit noisy or ambient for 10 seconds. 

Also, how did people not cringe harder at the Christine And The Queens performance? I mean, she sure can sing great and the band is fine too but holy f those monologues in between made me wanna alt+f4 and go do something else, figuratively speaking, crazy b*tch I tell you.

Bad translation, original sais "T-shirts van de goede man "  "T-shirt of the good man"

Regarding Christine and the Queens :

Crossing my fingers for a US date or two. Was at Brooklyn last time and it was a mind melter

love the crowd shouting along to elephant song

Not totally sure if this one is better or not, feels stitched together or something, but you hear a lot of the track (the beginning sounds like live noodling on a 303, not sure if it's part of the same track)

Actually this version might be even a better recording of it

If you scan the code it says "thanks for the support fuckface"

Best Kept Secret set was amazing

this is such a great set of unreleased tracks. Catchy melodic lines and beats. I hope the released version of the box teaser track includes the argument between the dancing dude and the guy that wants him to stand completely still, at this point feels like part of the track

stockholm full set
