Re: Autechre · Paris

Had the privilege of seeing them at Moore Park in Sydney a few years ago ‘In The Dark’ as well.
Had no idea that a concert with zero lighting could be so awesome. Autechre really are “those guys”. Glad you had a good time my friend.

The "snare drums" were in the spotlight, and despite many a techno night, I'd never felt such intensity : my muscles were tense and fluid at the same time, and sometimes I got liberated giggles. 1h30 of a rhythmic rollercoaster that James Brown would not have disowned.
