Tour Dates 2023

You know it was good when you start getting this kind of reviews lmoa

 

"Let's start by saying that we understand that Best Kept Secret is the most alternative of the major Dutch festivals, and that the headliners are therefore not always the most accessible or radio-friendly artists. That is not necessary at all. But in our view there is a fairly large difference between alternative and very niche. Aphex Twin fell into that second category as far as we were concerned. The only ones who seemed to enjoy the set from start to finish were the ones who were either walking around in good man T-shirts or completely under the influence of narcotics. The objective listeners and more casual fans of Aphex Twin were mostly confused and had to wait a long time for something high-profile to happen. Music is a subjective experience that is experienced differently by everyone, but what exactly was the thinking behind a headliner (and closing of the biggest stage, of all things) that is so niche that only a very select few could enjoy it?"

It was indeed quite funny seeing all the normies get confused and stop dancing when the beat changed a bit or things got a bit noisy or ambient for 10 seconds. 

 

Also, how did people not cringe harder at the Christine And The Queens performance? I mean, she sure can sing great and the band is fine too but holy f those monologues in between made me wanna alt+f4 and go do something else, figuratively speaking, crazy b*tch I tell you.

Lol! The headline by this reviewer reads:

"After the concert I felt ill and started crying and throwing up."

The headline by this reviewer reads:

"Aphex twin shat on peoples' expectations and it was glorious."

https://soundvenue.com/musik/2023/06/aphex-twin-sked-paa-folks-forventninger-paa-syd-for-solen-det-var-mesterligt-525719

Generel reviews in Danish papers were positive except the one in Politiken ?

Not totally sure if this one is better or not, feels stitched together or something, but you hear a lot of the track (the beginning sounds like live noodling on a 303, not sure if it's part of the same track)

 

Actually this version might be even a better recording of it

this is such a great set of unreleased tracks. Catchy melodic lines and beats. I hope the released version of the box teaser track includes the argument between the dancing dude and the guy that wants him to stand completely still, at this point feels like part of the track
