There's no telling what a live Takemura experience will bring; that female vocalist Tsuyuko, who has her own recordings out on Takemura's Childisc Records, is along for the ride is an indicator that the performance won't consist of a man bobbing his head in front of a laptop, which is the unfortunate current state of electronic performance. Other than her presence, though, the rest is a mystery. What's not, though, is that the first St. Louis appearance by Nobukazu Takemura will be transcendent. When the book on early-21st-century experimental electronic music is written, an entire chapter will be devoted to his output; lunkheads only interested in headliners Tortoise should pay attention earlier in the night.
