Got to see Moon Duo on Friday night. Verdict. Incredible. They had a mesh cage which they played from within, whilst 3 projectors simultaneously projected graphics into, onto and through the cage/band. The most incredible melding of music and Visuals I think I've ever witnessed and worked fabulously. They played brilliantly as well. Great cover of Suicide's Jukebox Baby at the end. Here's a full performance from the current tour, though earlier in October i think, to give you the feel, though it doesn't quite do the visuals the full front of stage justice. Good sound though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goPcSExzTbI&t=4105s

Otherwise it's been (Surprisingly)...

Moon Duo - Circles
Moon Duo - Occult Architecture V1
Moon Duo - Stars Are The Light
Moon Duo - Shadow Of The Sun/ Live Ravenna 2CD

Vive La Void - S/T

I saw them at Liverpool on Wednesday. I first saw the cage thing at their Hulme, Manchester show a few months and back and yes, it a sight to behold. Incredible as you say.

What do you think of the VVV album? I didn't give it enough attention when I first got it but it really is very, very good. I picked up the Rose City Band album from the merchandise stall - apparently it's Ripley but not played it yet

From all the reports this latest Moon Duo tour has been amazing - wish I'd gone. Enjoying the latest album a lot - more than I expected to be honest.

I like the VVV album a lot. I can see how it has influenced/inflected the latest Moon Duo material giving them a slightly poppier/ dancier more accessible sensibility. Like yourself, I didn't pay it much attention till i'd heard the latest Moon Duo and went back and investigated.

Didn't see the Ripley album fer sale on merch in Brum tbh, there wasn't a lot on show didn't already have...end of tour etc I guess. Was reading an old Quietus intervew with him yesterday....as a kid he was a BIG Neil Young fan (between himself and his pal they had close on 1000 Neil Young Bootlegs apparently). He was saying how he loved the production sound on the first 5 Rod Stewert records, which made me laugh. He seems like a nice guy. No airs and graces, and not trying to name drop obscure bands like hipper acts.
