Found this while digging through an old hard drive. I still have my Telefon Tel Aviv shirt from this tour.

Four of the bands featured on the comp will perform at this rare label showcase: Earlier this year Slicker released The Latest, a major improvement over the clunky drum 'n' bass of 1998's Confidence in Duber; the twitchy but sumptuous beats tangle with melodic moods that range from hot-tubby sensuality to jagged paranoia. On their recent Fahrenheit Fair Enough, the New Orleans duo Telefon Tel Aviv apes Tortoise, mixing electronics with live drums and guitar or kinetic beats with serene fusiony melodies. And the Cleveland-Boulder duo Twine melds minimalist glitchiness with an ethereal melodic drift that on one of its 12-inch cuts grows rather Satie-esque. Beneath Autumn Sky, the fourth act on the bill, is the odd man out, wedding abstract instrumentals to pure hip-hop rhythms.
