I saw them recently. Not as good as the support act,
Psyke Project.. I think I'd have enjoyed Nachtmystium on most other nights though. Also, might as well get the plug in for my
mate's band, who also played.

See, I have this problem that the 'ardkore continuum tends to miss out on the actual hardcore. I'm not saying jumpstyle is the greatest new thing (and it might not actually be new) but dubstep seems to have this austerity about it that I can't really see producing much more. I mean, it's quite a diverse genre by now (SYRFox seems pretty up on it) so there's bound to be other things happening, but I get the impression it's at a similar point as when dnb became tech-step/ breakbeat, neither of which interested me in the least (or, crucially, female audiences, in my experience).
I saw the Arditti quartet doing Birtwhistle, Dusapin and Schnittke the other week. Birtwhistle and Schnittke I've liked for a while, but that Dusapin chap is pretty exceptional. I can't think of anything else that's blown my mind lately, apart from rediscovering Low, who are a much better band than I gave them credit for (a million years ago).
