I like Amon Tobin but I think of his music as something akin to electronic jazz - is it more like that then?

don't know to others, but to me sp is indeed "jazz minded" inside


Amon Tobin *sounds* more jazz for the sample he uses
though

Aphex Twin is good for sleeping though,
relaxing IDM

Try relaxing with Smojphase EP, or with Come to Daddy or with Ventolin playing on the background. I don't find druqs relaxing, or I care Because You Do.
Do you?

sometimes depends on the volume I listen too,

admittely it was a bit of an exageration,
but I can say that my average perception of
AT vs sp is that AT is more relaxing
and sp more exciting

And to all you brits and usarians and the rest of you living in civilized countries: to hell with you all.

hmmm yeah i can relax to most things by aphex or indeed squarepusher,but i think it does depend on a volume setting,come to daddy at just above hearing level for instance is lovely and soothing
altho on headphones at 11 it makes me want to murder everyone on the bus

Well, I was there on the fateful night too and it was pretty good, with some great moments, not as good as I was hoping for, but my expectations were pretty high.
He had a drummer and saxophonist to play alongside his bass prestidigitation and electronics wizardry which was cool, although the electronics took a back seat and it turned into a free jazz jam for a while before going back into more electronica-oriented territory.
I'm a huge fan of his Burning'n'Tree/Hard Normal Daddy-style fusionish hyperjazz or the pop pastiche of Go Plastic and not so much the freakout IDM stuff, though I absolutely LOVE the single Do You Know Squarepusher - insane beat programming and arrangement. Later in the set it veered towards manic four to the floor beats and kitschy 909 breaks, ending with a glitchy noise extravaganza finale.

I haven't got Ultravisitor yet so I didn't know exactly what to expect but from what I've heard of the album his live performances are very different from a lot of his recorded work (which is a great thing).

Anyway, a shame Dave didn't see the whole enchilada (he wandered off a few tracks in to the set), but it was great fun, and I hugely enjoyed the excursions into fusionish drum'n'bass and old skool rave flavoured jungle
