Not too sure about the French scene overall, but I picked up this live album by I:Cube the other day that is really fantastic. Kind of a "minimal" house/techno affair that is more atmospheric and less dry than, say, Luciano's sound. Apparently he recorded this live set at the Planetarium in Paris early last year, which I think is at the Science & Industry Museum.
I would recommend checking it out. Adam On 9/5/06, Matt Chester (313) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
What else is going on in Paris these days, is there much good techno about? I only ever hear about nights at Rex and very occasional ones at Nouveau Casino - are there many less obvious nights happening as well?
