Have you met/dated/seen shows of/loved/despised Scott Herren, aka Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas, etc.?

I am sad because I missed the Amon Tobin / P73 show a week or so ago. Oh! and for those of you that don't like prefuse 73, you should know that, usually, Savath & Savalas > Prefuse 73 (although their respective latest eps reverse that trend).

...with delarosa and asora coming in a distant third.

So how is the new Savath & Savalas ep then? I was planning on ordering it but haven't yet.

ILE=ILM!

Having given it another listen: it's actually really good. Sometimes risks falling into the same sort of crawling-up-his-own-ass trap that Aphex Twin's last album did, which I guess means that rhythmically it feels like a step back (see: Paths in Soft Focus). But that same introspective warmth is there. Unfortunately, there's less melody involved.
It's become more ambient. It feels like he's trying to emulate the subjective reality of an actual experience of someone's time+place (summer night outside with the party left behind indoors falling into an entirely inappropriate reverie).
