EAST comes down dark & heavy with blown-out monster bass rampaging free. The vibe is surprisingly aggressive, like a big storm in a small room, whirling, bashing and wailing to get out.WEST is more subdued and groovy, Leon's bass still quite dominant, but much less distorted. The jams constantly flow, ebb, test and explore, sometimes tensely hectic as East, but often more spacious, even lyrical. Both spectacular sets, and very different from one another. contendo
