Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx and Louis Gordon Cargo gig 8th Oct

Great stuff Peter.
Nice atmospheric review of the whole evening
Louis and Steve's set sounds interesting.

Any news of the Foxx/Jansen pieces?

Really sounds like the best Metamatic show of them all.

Nice review, Peter. It sounds like a really good show.

I'm a little concerned over the recurring comments tabout ridiculously high bass levels. When you can feel your trousers vibrate, it's not good. I wonder what it does to your insides?!
Surely it's not good for your ears.

Anyway I stray from the point. Sounded like everyone had a great night. Hopefully somebody will have taken pics...

Bar staff seemed to be enjoying it as well. Perhaps they were expecting some quaint retro show and were surprised to find a cutting-edge electronic performance of songs that sound more contemporary than ever IMO.

Anyone else notice Louis slip-up on backing vocals on Tenant 030? We forgive him though!

By the time I left the club I was straving which is unusual for me, so I had to buy a cheese and ham bagette at Euston.

No news as far as I'm aware Martin

I take it they didn't play them? Or did you not hear them?

The Foxx/Jansen pieces were playing in the foyer and bar right at the beginning - but very subtle and easy to miss.

Easily the best Metamatic set, at least of the three I've seen. Also no-one yakking through the music (personal pet peeve) and such a STORMING version of '21st Century'. Glorious. Foxx and Gordon enjoying themselves hugely, everyone singing along, really nice atmosphere, perfect.

Yes, I noticed Louis' slip-up. But Foxx fluffed a few at Brighton too. Goes with the territory.

Trouser-flapping bass is a MUST at any good gig, surely. The sound at this venue was spot-on.

And Steve and Louis' improv was very nice indeed - but I'm sure the visuals could have been much richer. Where's Spectral Response when you need them - eh Sarah?

Very nice evening indeed. Roll on November.

I've put my 4 clips up on Youtube:

My camera locks the zoom during recording so I couldn't get Louis or Guy3 in my shots.
I agree with the previous comment about it being far removed from a quaint retro gig.
Anyone know if the Jansen/Gordon teamup will be released on cd in any form in the future?

Is this a seasonal deodorant?

You can surely forgive the odd lyric fluff. It's LIVE, that's what counts!

What kind of visuals did they have?

If you nmean the Foxx/Jansen eamup then yes, there are plans.

If you mean the Louis/D'Agostino teamup as per Cargo live, then I have no idea...

I meant the Louis/Steve one mentioned before.But the the John/Steve one will be a must buy too (of course )
