I must say i had a great time at detroit contempory on fri sept 5. counter-couture was pretty interesting, played some good music, it did seem like he was having a hard time switching sequences and sounds between songs. but once it was going the sounds were very nice. some of his tracks had a krafterk/rother feel to them and a couple had a more red planet on electro feel.
luke eargoggle, i came down to see this guy. i have a couple of his releases on bunker. i was very pleased with lukes set. he played mostly work i was unfamiliar with, but i must say i probable would not have recognized them anyways. he used a mpc2k and was mixing his sounds from one track to the other. the only track i picked out as being an lp version was "audio warrior" (get this bunker release). but i did recognize some sounds/loops from track and they had different basslines or leads. i talked with him and he said he mixes his track together. with very good results IMO. magas was very cool, the stage presents he has was worth the $7 itself. i not as familiar with his work as i am with lukes. i will say his sound was very simular from song to song. he must really like square wave synths? but the energy he puts out on stage is what i imagine iggy used to put out back in the day. yea i still have the stooges/sonic youth show ba-bouncing around in my inner ear. he played a new track that magas and luke are working on together, but luke declined to sing so it was an insturmental. i really want to hear the finished product there. but like i said it was a great show, talked with loads of people i dont get to see often. but did not see many of the listie i know. the show wasn't over crowded but there was a good amount of bodies. -scotto lansing, mi. plaztikjezuz.com
