I remember seeing Ikeda play in a venue under the railroad arches in Vienna, maybe 2002, with @liasomething. You could tell his ideas were different. Minimal sinus tones right on the verge of painful. 💖

I used to listen to the “+ / -“ album from 1996, which has a version of the headphonics tracks. Classic. His installations are special, well worth seeing and surprisingly kid favorites. 😅

Thanks Marius, very jealous! I haven't seen him live yet (I missed his show in Manchester a couple of months ago and still getting over that) - but love the work. 

Agree some of the tones/tracks can be "challenging" - I have tried to work to them before and after a couple of hours felt very strange! haha I particularly like "headphonics [VPRO version]::+/-[VPRO version]" from the Mort Aux Vaches album, and would love to experience his installation work in-person.
