Notes: Notes (2009-11-29): What a great, intimate and relaxing evening at the lovely E-Werk in Erlangen, Middle Franconia! Not less than two opening bands - The Worldonfire and Ira - warmed up the respectful crowd (approximately 300 people) for Oceansize, who didn't come on stage before 22:30. The band performed the standard 90+ minutes set like on every other show on the European 'Home & Minor' tour, minus 'Meredith' as second encore. The new songs are everything else but catchy, but sound promising without a doubt. I just had the feeling that both the tunes from the recently released EP and the yet to be recorded material left the audience cold at times. In fact, the setlist didn't contain many classics - 'Massive Bereavement' was the only song off the band's amazing debut album 'Effloresce' - and thus didn't invite the people in attendance to sing along to familiar melodies and cheer wildly. Mike Vennart was in high spirits nonetheless, joked around and talked a lot during songs - also caused by some unscheduled interuptions due to minor technical difficulties. The recording came out VERY clear, full and direct, with absolutely no close and disturbing crowd noise thanks to a sweet spot in front of the right stacks. Hope to see these guys again soon, but please with a more extended and mixed set next time!
