Ae hq full-length video-lives?

Ok, i'll say something...

 

An AFX live show is usually backed by lasers, strobes, animal p0rn videos and AFX face recognition software.

 

An autechre live show is backed by complete darkness.

 

Therefore, there is nothing to record. You might be able to see a few LEDs on pieces of kit, or other peoples cameras also trying to record darkness, but its a waste of time. Just enjoy the gig instead.

have you been to an ae show?

No, unfortunately(

I can understand your partial "surely not" attitude towards the whole blackness thing. Part of me didn't believe they performed each (indoor) show in total darkness... until I saw them. Seriously, unless you want to watch some sporadic camera flashes, some very faint LEDs flashing and an illuminated fire exit sign for an hour, there is no point in a live Ae video.

 

Audio, on the other hand..... ;)

well said xxx. i wasn't fortunate enough to see the recent tour but i saw them in toronto in 08.

 

there's no reason for visuals. it would really ruin the whole mood for me.

 

i disagree with you about the soundboard (Glasgow im assuming). that shit is balls to the wall awesome. in my head i consider it a parallel release with untilted. of course, you have to listen to it loud. but this isn't the thread for that.

If you look at the reaction threads, many folks echoed the "it was awesome but fuck me" kind of sentiment. It seems like it must have been like a combat situation or an intense psychedelic experience: exhilarating but on the edge of madness.

Yeah that pretty much sums up the Birmingham show. I'm glad I went - it was the most intense bass attack I've ever heard - but musically it was a little lacking I felt.

I used to wish for sparkling, lossless soundboard captures but we got one from Scotland and...it sucked.

 

wtf are you talking about. That shit was golden.

I was there and it was a good set sadly let down by an totally insufficient PA! No shit it probably sounds better on your computer monitors than it did in the venue.

cheers for postin the vids Soundwave

 

Does indeed sound like it was a mad show. And the sound quality on the vids is surprisingly good considering how loud they play
