Sweet

Hmm, still not 100% sure what I feel about this performance (after another listen of the Polish one from a while back). It does kind of feel like another one of Mr. James' pranks towards the po faced experimental music scene.

Just give us a new album already instead of all this.

I'm not whining. I'm just asking him to release a new album before doing more of these pretentious fart shows.

That's a whine.

More like an advice, I'd say.

I really like that blue picture so, despite its small size, I made it into a feasible desktop background if anyone's interested.

why is it so blurry? i just resized it with irfanview and it lost none of its focus

Anti alised and blurred it to remove the pixellatedness

Can anyone honestly say that they enjoyed that Poland performance? I love me a bit of serialism and atonal orchestral music, but that performance sounded (from the recording) absolutely garbage.

Yes I would like to know too. Anyone been? Is it worth seeing?

Yeah the Poland Pendericki show wasn't my cup of tea but no mention of Pendericki for the London shows so I presume the source material will be different

I enjoyed it. I was there and didn't really know what to expect. Wouldn't really want to see it again, though.

put out a 1 hour recording, officially titled by Aphex Twin, Richard D James, whatever you choose

put it out on CD, vinyl, and digital, with an album cover

release it to the public

or not

I am having a lot of trouble with the online booking, right pain in the arse

I don't get people's beef with this, regardless of whether you like it or not he's doing something different/experimenting. It's obviously going to be completely different to Poland, as beerwolf said the content will be different - probably more his material than interpreting someone else's? As for sound quality on youtube... dude

I went to a Hecker sound art show in Cornwall that blew my mind, but if I'd been watching it online I wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes. GIVE IT A CHANCE.

Fuck the Barbicans website it's a joke, never had problems before booking tickets. Doesn't recognise my postcode? Drrrrrrrrrrrrr. Doesn't recognise I have selected a seat, Drrrrrrrrrr. Doesn't recognise anything in my basket, Drrrrrrrrrrrr. Can't create an account, Drrrrrrrr. Basically doesn't do fuck all then.

Looks like I will have to phone them.
