Review taken from Sandman magazine:

Home Video / Digitonal

C90 @ Bar Abbey

What Sheffield is really good at is, for a variety of reasons, throwing up people who, quietly, think at tangents and get on with the job of putting on low key nights which mix a bit of imagination with a love of the leftfield and put on nights which are well worth tracking down.

With a minimum of fanfare the C90 crowd are gently building a reputation for putting on club style nights which are as interesting as they're fun. It's a fair cry from the mass 4/4 hypnosis going on at The Octagon when you've got Digitonal and Home Video playing in a neat (and blatantly underused, given the current parlous state of Sheffield's club scene in terms of venues available) cellar bar somewhere down London Road. The mix of music, visuals and a relaxed crowd make it an attractive proposition.

We didn't catch too much of Digitonal but it seemed a fairly surprisingly straight forward drum'n' bass set. Since C90 doesn't seem to be particularly about frenetic frugging it fit the bill nicely. His second album is on the way and should be a good 'un.

Home Video are recent signings to WARP - but that would give you no idea of what to expect. They look like Interpol - shirts and ties - but play a kind of smooth post rock. It's good and worked well with the visuals which spread itself all over the boxy stage and lent the band the impression of something caged. Perhaps the only disappointing thing were the hours. C90 runs to pub time. It's be great if they did some late night stuff since there's definitely something good going on. - Bob Simms
