> although i will agree with you about the crowd jumping to its feet...very odd... but not suprising, seems to be the norm.. perhaps the lighters in the air is next. i think people expected to start dancin.
Speaking of crowds during autechre shows.....A good portion of the crowd at ATP during autechre's set were very enthusiastic. There was a large group dressed up in devoesque construction vests of some type. They were flailing their limbs about in a very chaotic manner which veiwed from afar could have been mistaken for a moshpit. People were chanting "autechre". And I remember a very enthused girl who was screaming like a 13 year old at her first n'sync concert. I almost expected to see panties flying at the stage. I think next time I go see autechre everyone should bring a big bag of panties and start flinging them on stage.
brilliant!
