"Apparently taken at Nonna’s Restaurant in Sheffield, the man is Romulo Del Castillo from Phoenicia. Not sure when the photo was taken."

Nonna’s Restaurant in Sheffield

I'm never going to go there, the food looks horrible, they've not even touched it except for that guy who is sort of just shifting it around the plate with his fork, it looks like the worst school dinner EVER

there's a really good Chinese restaurant in Sheffield, they do Dim Sum that you wouldn't normally find outside of Hong Kong, I'd recommend that instead

edit: in fact, one time we went to the Chinese restaurant in Sheffield that I was just raving about and the next table were doing some sort of hot pot thing and there was a huge explosion and screams , so yeah, much more exciting than "Nonna's" judging by that photo

this was helpful list of known solo tracks by each. also this description of each one's style feels right to me (but what the hell do i know):
[sean's] style sounds hip-hop influenced, but with a very clipped, almost militaristic feel to it. he's got his own unique sense of timing. robs got a looser, funkier feel to his stuff, much more improv based.

They've done another interview too:

Does it mean you won't be working on a new release?
Sean: These live shows are everything.
Rob: We've been doing this since 2022, calling it 2022 dash. We could keep it going for another ten years. Traveling and meeting people is something you can’t replicate in a studio.
Sean: Why would you think our live material is worse than studio recordings? My focus is on performing and sharing those experiences. We selected our best sets to release, and after our previous record deal ended, we renegotiated with the label earlier this year. We’ll release about 4-5 hours of new material, not just one album.


Live material is almost always worse than studio recordings, this is not a jazz music forum is it?

While not being a fan of Autechre they have good tracks all being very, very well done in the studio, none of that "live algorhitmiccz baloney" that has kept UK electronica in general and AE specifically in a dead end for 20+ years.

Not a live-jam:

Not only is the set itself amazing, but the story behind the replication's insane. The soundboard was lost and years later they released the files for the Quaristice tour and a couple of fans on WATMM painstakingly recreated it using a bootleg for reference.

Some of my favourites are live recordings - Cale's Sabotage/Live, the Autechre stuff, Tangerine Dream's Ricochet, grime sets off the radio, Shaka dances, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Haswell's Live Salvage comp. When it's good, there's a roughness and energy rarely found in the studio.

1st one nice I guess, nostalgic early 90s IDM vibes. But I don't rate Autechre that highly, really.

I always post this as response to Autechre fan-boying; in my view the best electronica act from the 90s (and is this case "live" even) :


they also do recent live stuff :
