RichM really looking forward to Aphex Twin’s set. His Printworks one from 2019 is special

RichM

alistair seen clips of the recent sonar set set and looks quality. Last time I’ve seen him was 2010

alistair

RichM Bonobo and Hopkins were both excellent. Aphex Twin was a big disappointment

RichM

alistair Jon Hopkins was great, Bonobo a bit dull, Aphex Twin fucking amazing IMO.

Dan

alistair saw him at Big Love in 96…. Brilliant.

whatever

Wally

Have heard some of his stuff (short YT vids) and it seemed to be on the deep tech side. Not what he was doing in the 2000-2006 era.

Clip is from Sunwaves so bound to be in that style but should give you an idea.

alistair

RichM Jon Hopkins was superb. Really lifted the crowd. Couple of unfamiliar tracks sprinkled in that did some serious damage including a breaks I’d love to get my hands on. Loved the floaty bits of Halcyon going into Luminous spaces finale

RichM

Nice aerial view of Field Day

apyssjw

RichM whole set

Cankles-McJeggings

Never understood the fuss about Desyn whatever his name is. Kind of shite rhouses would like. He went wah wah as far as I knew and couldnt leave his house unless he was peeled off the windows. Meltcase.

Dry-Tinder

Cankles-McJeggings Me neither, I bought his Bedrock cd many years ago, Luke Fair’s was brilliant, I could not even get to the end of Desyn’s and I tried on many occasions

Hopkins, Bonobo and Aphex Twin were all awful at Field Day.

Worst one I’ve been to.

Hold tight for feedback!

RichM

apyssjw nice one 👍🏻

mono-stereo

apyssjw lol the intro on that set. Walk to the next tent. He’s always been shit live.

seanc80

Literally unlistenable.

Smallman1

Horrendous isn’t it, think I lasted 30 minutes.

RichM

You know what you are going to get with Aphex Twin, complete madness. He is definitely a marmite artist. Personally I think he is a bit of a genius, and love the randomness of his live sets

Smallman1

Have seen him 3 times now, every sets gets progressively worse.

Suspect Hugo loves him.

Smallman1 Suspect Hugo loves him.

Correct.

No surprise you can’t stand him given he regularly ventures well above 126 bpm.

alistair

Was really looking forward to seeing him especially in light of his new EP, but it mainly sounded like a herd of elephants falling down the stairs and much of the crowd left early. Jon Hopkins smashed it and was the highlight of the day for me.

Smallman1

It’s the absolute awfulness I struggle with.

IndustryStandard

AFX is a properly annoying artist. He’s produced some amazing tuneful music, and panning through that video there are snippets in there I love…..but then it all goes potty. Maybe thats the point. Pendulum of musical styles and challenging the audience etc etc , but majority of that set is as per @alistair ’s astute summary.
