I reckon Aphex's set will be quite like the one he did in Houston last Dec. You can watch it all on YouTube - maybe that'll help you to decide. Having watched it myself I certainly won't be bothering with it for the full 2hrs at FD!
I always ask myself 'Who is likely going to return to do a concert near me next' & it sure isn't going to be AFX. So, he it is.
Aphex twin just does a dj set, and frankly not that exciting a dj set too. Go and see someone else.
Thee Oh Sees Notts next week.
I think killer b is maybe a little behind the times there - Aphex's Houston show was a full-on AV blowout and musta cost a fortune. The start of it was tailored to Houston, but after the first 5mins or so it would work fine anywhere. It's impressive but it gets a bit repetitive and tedious at times over the full 2hrs - I thought the best of it was after the 45mins mark. I'll pop in to see some of it - I think it's in a big tent tho so it's bound to be rammed - but IMO it would be daft to miss some of the other things you want to see.2-1 against Aphex so far - everything to play for
Yeah, I listened to his Houston show - that's what I was basing my post on (and the shit overcrowded Aphex show I saw a few years ago in Manc). It's still a DJ set - just with a light show.I think killer b is maybe a little behind the times there - Aphex's Houston show was a full-on AV blowout and musta cost a fortune.

DJ set yes, but tbf it's a lot more than just a light show!Yeah, I listened to his Houston show - that's what I was basing my post on (and the shit overcrowded Aphex show I saw a few years ago in Manc). It's still a DJ set - just with a light show.

I went to see Thee Oh Sees on Sunday in Bristol at SWX and it was just so good!! I got right in the moshpit and danced mu big arse off!! So good!! Lovely atmosphere and highly recommend. In fact one of the best gigs I have ever been to
Did not finish with it, but it was in there!Couldn't agree more. Saw them in Notts & then at Field Day. Amazing energy. Did they finish with a 15 min track?
Went to Kraftwerk last night, we were on the very last row in the middle but oh my what a show. It was in Symphony Hall in Brum, the sound was crystal clear & fab 3D. The did a fantastic Tour De France sequence.
2 friends also got bumped up into the stalls as speakers or so were on their seats in the upper tier!
Glad to have gone.
