kosmische djs myself and mink pelican are gonna be playing at the michael rother / dieter moebius gig at the ica this thursday too.
I didn't really enjoy the stuff they played much (rother and moebius that is, not you guys, who I didn't catch) - all the things that I like about their stuff - melodies, whimsy, playfulness, simplicity, sparseness - seemed to be absent, save for one song which was basically rother solo. His guitar playing featured some really lovely moments though.
And some of their beats just seemed so inappropriate, as if they were trying to sound contemporary - and it just didn't really work. the 4x4 beats and the faux drum and bass just made me feel slightly embarassed.
Granted, I haven't listened to anything they've done since the 70s so maybe I should have been expecting this
