He he- I was at the Sonar performance too and I really loved it- it
was my first experience of a performance like this and the first time
I had actually heard any Stockhausen at all so I had no real pre-
conceptions of what it was going to be like at all. If you didn't
like that one you would have equally hated the Glasgow performance!

Utter rubbish.
He stood at a mixing desk in the middle of the audience,
there were no visuals, just a single spot beam pointing
to a point on the top/front of the (otherwise empty)
stage. Boring music, boring visuals - people on either
side of me fell asleep. The most interesting thing
about the whole business was seeing all the Coil guys
sitting a few rows ahead of me.
Avoid.
