i just want to briefly take note of this show, which appears to have been cancelled on wednesday night, i'm guessing due to the snow. they claimed they could "not access the venue".

i probably would have dropped by after anamanaguchi, had i gone to anamanaguchi. but, weather aside, i wasn't that keen on the new disc, and there's a review up if you go back a few posts.

i can't remember when i first heard of ilkae. he's been doing his thing for many years now, and i see he's built up a huge discography by this point. i always found his work to be kind of aesthetically interesting for a few minutes, but lacking any serious experimental or compositional basis. but, i checked out a recent recording to see if he's evolved.

he really hasn't.

on some level, this is exactly the kind of techno that i actually like. but, it's just lacklustre.
