Anyone have this new LP by Tim Gane's (Stereolab) new band?
Is it all as good as this?

Re: Cavern of Anti Matter
Saw 'em play at ATP in June - it was absolutely awesome. Gane had 2 (!) korg ms-20s as well as lots of modular synth gear. Talked with Joe Dillworth, the drummer (also drummer on Peng and some other stereolab stuff) for a while on the last day. They were supposed to have all these LPs and some special 12"s just for ATP but the pressing plant somewhere in Eastern Europe got flooded and everything got messed up

Re: Cavern of Anti Matter
At least live, it was all as good/better than that, just because how could hearing a fucking grooving track like that not be more epic live right? But yeah, it was just tons of long, repetitive jams like that. Really rad. I personally enjoyed it a TON more than I enjoyed Laetitia's performance - which was good, but honestly when it boiled down to it just felt like simple, standard pop songs w/ overly dramatic/political lyrics. Whereas the Cavern of Anti-Matter set was out of this world dancey and sick and fun and nonstopgrooves.
