Also thought Id give my impressions on Aphex Twin/Luke Vibert at the BDO lat night...I missed the first 20 or so minutes but when I arrived they were playing what seemed like remixes/alternate takes/different songs using very similar sounds to alot of the early Caustic Window and Analogue Bubblebath gear...awesome - Ive read that Aphex has a huge cache of unreleased music, if this was some of then wow!!! As good as any of his early releases (which are my favourites). The last alf hour turned into the monster acid/braindance gear Rephlex specialise in, with a bunch of tracks that wouldnt sound amiss on the Hangable Auto Bulb ep's. I was very impressed with the 2 of them using Laptops, we (Brisbane) get very few international acts, and I havent seen any using laptops ( and maybe even Final Scratch - not too sure there) before. But to all Australian 313er's - if you ever liked that early Aphex sound, then try and get to see them play - well worth the effort. (If you can handle the very large contingent of Metallica fans ;-))) JK
