Comment: this handful of
pieces is an episode from the club night at Le Club Suburbia in Amsterdam in 11th
of March, 2008. In addition to Vortex Rex the night was filled with the likes of Adolf Butler, and Japanther (at least the event was conveyed on
the bill in this way). The Vienna, Austrian trio`s gig was furnished with vast
energy-loaded guitars, prominent acid-drenched keyboards and some flickering
electronics filling the background role for the singer`s manifesting singing reminiscent
a little bit Mark E Smith`s hacking appearance. On the other side, it does not mean that Vortex Rex is a copy of The Fall (Vortex Rex is more spaced-out, more acute through their convulsive dodges and propulsions). The gig scenario was based on
intense chord changes varied with more laid-back extensions in time, however,
concretely depending on the tracks. In a word, it was interesting first meeting
with this combo.
