I will preface this by saying that personally, I loved it but many others
were highly dissapointed and thought it was a "disaster". I totally did not
get that at all. My impressions....
Musically I thought it was great. For me it was really special to see him
up there, surrounded by lots o' gear, constantly tweaking knobs and hearing
his tracks come out. Lots of tracks from Closer. You would hear a very
recognizable loop and then he would sort of deconstruct it or add on to it,
making it almost a brand new track yet still retain the same flavor. He
would kind of weave in and out of them.
The overall performance lacked some "oomph" if that makes sense. The
visuals were sort of dissapointing. They had hyped it up to be this amazing
sound and visual "experience." Supposedly the technical problems were
pretty substantial. He went on about two hours late. There was talk that
he hadn't run through a thorough sound check once everything was set up at
the venue. Who knows? It was a cool venue, great sound, and nice vibe. I
left satisfied.
Props to the Mutek crew for putting on a great festival. The events all ran
pretty smoothly. One of the highlights was the Piknik Elektronic. An
outdoor party on Sunday afternoon in a beautiful park overlooking the river
and downtown Montreal with suprise sets from Magda and a live PA from
Herbert. All for $5.00 nonetheless!
