At first glance a post-rock outfit and melodic electronica performer seemed an ideal live pairing to induce maximum subdued blissed out shuffling but neither performance fully lived up to their stereotype.

Coum Transmissions was the performance act
Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fanni Tutti , and various co-conspirators, ran
through the early to mid '70s. Barely advertised, this showing of Coum videos packed
the Participant Inc. gallery with viewers uncertain of what they'd
come for.

It was surprisingly quiet when I arrived at Cultuurcentrum Luchtbal, the
venue in Antwerp where The Hafler Trio were scheduled to play. I would have
expected a sold out situation since, as far as I know, there are only two
concerts planned this year, Antwerp and Paris, and H3O isn't known to be an
avid tourer. Andrew is clearly suffering from his illness, he needs a cane
to walk and it's easy to see even normal strain takes a lot of his energy.
