Easily the best band I saw at Supersonic, leaving everything that came in their wake sounding flabby, cumbersome and old. More akin to seeing a techno set than anything, the first band to raise the hairs on my arms through sheer dymnamic invention in a long while.

Incredible band live, completely agree its dance music played by a band. Photos and a write up from one of their recent London shows:

Heard their latest album? It's pretty thrilling.

I should have attended Supersonic. Really wanted to see Corrupted.

You well?

aha then you should see them live as they're MUCH better than they are on record.. if i'd heard the eps first i wouldn't have bothered to check them out.. master musicians of bukkake were playing at the same time...and they stole the festival...

supersonic next year perhaps?

I'd like to attend Supersonic next year, yeah, but dunno if they could do a line-up as seductive as this one. Maybe if they got Carcass, Coalesce and Neurosis or something insane.

But yeah, I should probably turn up to one just for the experience. Pretty consistently someone I want to see there.
