Hi Rob and Sean, thank you and watmm for doing this! It’s like a 2013 electronic music version of a Going Live/Live & Kicking phone-in with fewer abs and no audible screaming.
Would you guys consider coming back to Belfast and/or Dublin? I saw you here (Belfast) back on the Untilted tour tho I was quite young, very stoned and not overly familiar with your music at the time so you guys prob remember it better than I do. I made the trip over to London for the Oversteps tour – haven’t seen anything better before or since (tho my ex gf left before you came on cos her purse got nicked at the show, any chance of a refund?... )
How was the sound in the Button Factory in Dublin? I had been there a couple of months before you played last time and it was really awful, hopefully they sorted it out.
Fol3/4 have consistently been amongst my favourite tracks of yours for a few years now. Really love the stereo effect where it feels like a gale is blowing through one ear and out the other. Fol3 always evokes the image of a mechanical Kraken attacking a ship on a stormy night, I guess the proximity of Tankraken on the playlist may have subconsciously influenced this. And Fol4 is like being in the monster’s dank cavernous layer. Anyway, related q: do you guys ever develop tracks based around imaginary settings or scenarios that a particular sound(s) evokes?
Was it a deliberate design choice to have the L-event 12” fit nicely into the Exai case? Either way, pretty nice and loving both records.
Favourite Kool Keith-related record? Have you been following Chris Douglas’ recent spate of releases on Icasea, RLR, etc.?
Apologies for the essay and density of questions, just thought I’d spit it all out in one post!
