Anyone else getting a Prodigy vibe from this? I just listened to it as the album that came after Jilted Generation, sounded fantastic

Not even slightly, no.

what kind of prodigy? current?

No, post Jilted era. I guess I was just thinking if only The Prodigy could have developed more like this instead of going the route of FOTL and everything after that. It made sense in my mind at the time.

Better than I expected, sounds like the cure.

Cool!

me and bitroast and some others went to the show at the Opera House tonight. it was fucking fantastic. full on hardcore facemelting initial set followed by mask-off bass guitar encore.

setlist:

Kill Robok

<Damogen Furies>

Arterial Fantasy

The Modern Bass Guitar

Steinbolt (!!)

encore:

bass noodling incl Iambic bits

and... TETRASYNC

How long was that show?

about 80 mins?

Ok, now read your post properly and realized the entire new album was performed.

Yeaaaaah !! Set was long and tasty. The damogen tracks were great, all nicely tweaked from originals/album versions. Ambient interludes actually helped a lot to break the material up (maybe it was just there to break up the loading time between tracks but given the intensity of the tracks they actually went a long way to keeping a nice momentum between tracks). The classics were fucking incredible.. Rearranged/remixing on those tracks soo good (aerial fantasy sounded like a whole new song...

It was seated which was weird. Guy in front of me had feet up on stage and was banging seat dancing like a monkey man. Nice having people still getting into it :)

tetra sync

hoooooooooly shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit ^ no wonder my brain was blown post gig.

I wonder why Tom rarely drops any of the tracks from GP live.

Still cant get into Rayc Fire 2 but some of the other tracks are great.

fuck, great setlist. tom's such an asshole for only doing one australian show, the night before I play a gig myself, gah!

.. that said, if he played a show in melb it probably would have been lastnight

so he's finally ditching the LED screen mask and pixel art visuals?

He wears the mesh like fencing mask, while wearing very neutral grey overalls. Has animated visuals displayed over his body different for each track while animated visuals being projected on back behind him. The whole effect is fucking wicked and kind of blurs him into the visuals.. But you dont really see or get that effect from just looking at pics.

Same goes for Go plastic tracks. Some GP tracks wouldve been nice but .. the set had a very consistent , deliberate vibe throughout that doesnt exactly disapoint. It hits its marks, gp or no gp:)

And yeah, guys a prick for coming to aus and only doing 1 show in 1 sydney but im assuming its more a terms and contitions thing of vivid bringing artists down as opposed to him giving melbourne the fuck you. Still tho, hopefully this trip shows him that aus still loooves<3 him and he can put more effort into playing more shows next time he comes.. Bloody logistics. *points at autechre* autechre did it !!

the visuals for Kwang Bass were perfect because I'd always imagined zooming on my bike to that tune.

dope ass trackkkk

nice lil write up on the syd show that essentially summarizes the "holy shit that was intense" sentiment

Black Box Echo have designed Squarepusher's innovative and fully generative new visual system.

The algorithms use geographical and meteorological data on each location we visit to define the starting points for an entirely generative visual environment. The patches are then controlled in their evolution by the audio and midi data they receive live from Squarepusher during the performance. Only he can control their development throughout the set by his chosen interactions with his own machines.
It is truly a visual instrument - defined by data; driven by audio.

'I wanted to create something that confronted the concept of fear. For myself, it was the fear of losing control of my environment. After giving the system some basic rules and parameters to work inside during pre-production, I surrendered my ability to control the output, rendering it fully dependent on the feeds it receives and how it processes them. Each performance can be interpreted differently, with a continuously developing level of sophistication.

I have relinquished control of the machine, for better or worse.'

niiiice.

would love to see the good chunk of instrumental ambient tunes between tracks and at the start of the set find their way to release.
