AFX in a Warehouse in Manchester

damnit just talk to the sound man and give him twenty or thirty bucks

We'll see how wasted i'm feeling on the night, i would be fucking chuft if i got a soundboard recording though

Will definitely do some video and the audio quality is pretty decent.

I did that last weekend, Funktion 1 rig's always deliver a decent recorded sound in a closed environment.

I wont however be holding my camera up for the duration of the set mind.

Will try and nail at least 20-30 minutes though.

just spoken to the venue actually, they've said recording is 'not allowed' and they're tied in with the contracts signed with the artists themselves, clearance for the tracks played during the set bla bla bla.

It doesn't mention this anywhere on the website as far as i can tell though.

I've got a mate that lend me a minidisc set up so we'll see. I'll keep an eye out for a guy with a camera Cet mate

I did a bit of filming in there last week on my phone, believe me no one will stop you if youre in the middle of the crowd

Dude, I'd just try and stealth your gear in. I would of thought it'll be really unlikely the sound guy will let you patch from the board. A decent lossless audience recording would be better than nothing, being subtle with your shit will go a long way :)

Cheers for taping!

i know that, but a hefty microphone isn't the most discrete thing to sneak through.

We'll see anyways

surely just wait till the set appears on the internets, itll be recorded by lods of people there

it's tommorow!

Hi, ive got a spare ticket to Aphex for tonite if anyone wants it. £25 cos thats what it cost me like. I will meet you outside the venue or in a pub or something.

Please record the show and ill spit a couple of dolars via Paypal for the lovely soul :devil:

from Miami

Yeah someone had fucking better record this shit

wow that was amazing

Aphex now has hair like my dad!!!

Main surprises - he played some Billy Childish (I think) and a few dubstep tunes, one of them sounded a little Aphexy

He also had 3 muscle men in Aphex shirts gurning at the crowd at certain points, it was fucking awesome. If you weren't there, you missed out sucka

please tell me someone took a camera.

Oh yeah, most expensive bar I've seen in my life. £3.80 for a can of Bud?!? Fuck right off!!!

he only played the tuss!

Those Gurners were fucking mint hahaha

Yeah 3.80 for a bud rip off only had about 3 cans

Good night indeed!

he actually played part of a Fall song, which my mate and I were pleasantly surprised by!

system of a down noisecore mashup at the end took me a little by suprise

My mate says he saw Squarepusher walkin' about near the end.

Great night though, the electronic music bouncers were class.

Brilliant night last night. The meat head face pullers were a laff, as was the crowd pushing and pulling - excellent fun although someone tried to tear my woolen cardigan. Too many sweaty basts though for my liking and lovers trying to get it on amidst all the chaos when Aphex was reaching a climax was just pointless and silly, although mildy entertaining. AFX sporting a new short haircut and lookingly decidedly more confident and assertive than previous occasions I've seen him live, maybe it was cos his missus was there serving him drinks. There was some Tuss in his set, some new tracks were played and can someone tell me - was the intro at the start of the set off a Jane Fonda workout vid or something? Thought it was educational. The price of a can of Bud was frankly daylight robbery. Seems like AFX is back on form, just hope it isn't two or three years down the line when the new tracks he played get released. New album must be due soon...

safe Cet man, fair play for getting that footage, was a wicked night

Cheers for the videos, I didn't manage to see much of Aphex as I was wandering aimlessly trying to avoid getting squished. And I was so full of a cold that my ears weren't working properly. Arse, I'd been looking forward to it for so long and I just wish I could go back and watch again without not being able to hear right!
