gent

a ninety minute drive got me to the ancient centre of gent (belgium) where i saw the hermes ensemble perform an eclectic set of partly reworked pink floyd compositions at de bijloke. i'd seen them before at the palais des beaux arts in brussels, in september 2004. as before, they brought interesting performances of atom heart mother and a saucerful of secrets, as well as some nifty and partly reconstructed works based on a variety of more experimental floyd tunes.
