    Defs more laser "curtain" effects in other sets

     

    On the setlist - this track: "Aphex Twin - Bliss 2d G-Major".. where did that title come from? Can't find the source.. not a recent soundcloud  track was it? I know it was in live sets but what about the name of it?

    This was afx gig number 19 for me and my ONLY time experience sub-par sound - and ive been right up front and way down the back across many of his gigs.

    My legs DID get me to a better place to dance and hear, 30 min in, with diatoms

    BUT.. thank feck for that amazing youtuibe upload  .. which is how Id expect to hear it on the day... and how I heard Fever/Arca.

    No they defintley messed up the sound for aphex. Thats my only beef

    Note: I follow his sound engineer on insta and looks like he was abroad dfor this set - jus sayin <CORRECTION.. he was working at it or at least said beforehand he was going to

    It was a great set but he had already played half of them in the previous gigs, Syd For Solen is still tops for me because it was my first time hearing so much of it and it was riddled with unreleased stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed them all so far, not a great deal between them, clearly from the amount of complaints about Field Day he should reconsider if he's ever asked back there, be glad if he doesn't go near AXS and Kaboodle again but they seem to be on board the Bristol show too. That London gig was pricey too, the merch and beers were off the charts, I didn't go on the chairoplanes and ferris wheel but I have no doubt they were probably eye wateringly wallet bursting too 😆 I'm expecting them to sell ltd edition afx toilet paper on the next tour, twenty six sharts for cash by Andrex Twin tm

     

    Yeh... no more FD for me - i'll save my cash for a trip to Europe/USA/Asia next time. Had a blast meeting old n new buds but..... i learned  a long time again to avoid the same festival thrice

    Diatoms was with my mates and me after the gig while walking out. He was looking for you @phudoshin but didn't have your number. We said goodbye at a roundabout full of festival people, he was headed to his hotel nearby there iirc.

    aye i sent him a message but its not read yet :/.. im guess his phone is well dead alright.. bit of a brick for sure

    just rang him - no joy - who-knows-where-he-ended-up!

    I got to say, after being in this game since the 90's, but... now age 49, and mostly experiencing music these days not-raving...livig in the country, away form clubs etc. to find fellow ravers and getting lost in richards masterful selection of punchy dancey foot stomiping tunes was just damn so perfect. Nobody gets me moving like him (except squarepusher). I sacrifcied being at the front and squished, for less quality sound but tones of room to dance like a loon with diatoms..... what a show!

    On the sound - durin fever ray and the 20 mins of arca, sound was perfect around the whole area.  but for aphex, away from the middle it really fell off in quality. Can it be crowd sizes? Curfew sound retstraints?

    The full youtuibe rip showed it was perfect form that vantage pint - middle in front of sounddesk? hectic crowds there

    Quick rundown from the airport..

    Hung with diatoms all thru set and we moved back to a better-sound/more dance room from middle midlle area. Amazng set but sound annoyed me where i was at first which shpulda been better. I zoomed it with my rwcorder in my hat but cant guarantee good results tbh. Will prob rip from youtube as usual. Anyway got lost in the second half and was able to rave hard.... defs some new unreleased tracks prob from new viynl. Fair fucks to diatoms for dishing out the goodies. I only got  2 codes myself and shoulda  gone back for more in highnsight. Met hellospiral, SF guy, hrrjn but missed me ol pal elusive . All in all a belter. Heard weirdcore n crew well pissed as full cube not allowed on the day...tunes i remember.. time to find me remix/squarepusher combo.... brooklyn track 5, rfc track, swirling graphics syro track, bit of ragga. jungle... visuals great..different and upscaled from previous but missed the curtain of lasers.

     

    Fever ray was only other ok set. Rest was arse

    Yeah Actress is someone I'll make sure to see. Jon Hopkins as well.

    Also, if anyone else is into Djrum, he's playing an all night set at The Pickle Factory until the morning before Field Day. I like him loads more than anyone else in the Field Day lineup so I'm excited for that.

    ooh good to know - might check it...

    i was guessing wrt the email - but one-per-ticket makes sense... lets hope no limits IF an exclusive

    (im guessing no give-away this year... 2017 FD album was plenty and they tend to not repeat thiese things? Its healthy to spread the 7\ love)

    Bit weird to just not release a proper track if you want to raise money but ok.

    yeh in the middle of new aphex hype and now autehcre '22... this titbit seems just rediculous and not-well-thought out. A 40 sec old track with some nonsense vocal? I totally dig Buxton but.... big nope from me
