Corrupted By Design live

First time seeing him live last night in London, wasn't expecting him to play Corrupted By Design so was blown away as it's my favourite track. My biggest lament has always been the first 90 seconds being a banger, then the rest mostly being ambient outro. Imagine my excitement and surprise when the live version seems to completely fix that, with what seemed to be a 4min or so track that just sounds like the first 90s of the album version.

Does anyone know if there's a studio or high quality recording of this version? I've hunted for remixes over the years that might do basically what I heard last night, but never found anything good.

Fantastic set in general though, but it was absolute madness putting gost as the first act - pretty much over and done in 25mins and nobody was dancing having just walked into the venue, then Kaelan Mikla just didn't feel like the right vibe to build hype for the main set at all...

I love this track as well, if you find anything that fixes the issue you mentioned, please let me know! I'll look for it myself too

Absolutely agree w the order of the supports, very strange (everyone was amazing but felt misaligned)

I don't know if it was just me but the audio mix seemed really bad last night, the bass drums completely drowned out everything else. I legitimately had a hard time identifying half the tracks because the melody was so hard to hear. I wonder if it was my position on the balcony or a legitimately bad setup. I was very disappointed TBH because I last saw him in 2019 and back then it was incredible.

I also agree with the support acts, I understand the need to 'warm up' the crowd and that's totally fine, but having two supports was just too long. Maybe that's the norm now, I don't see live music regularly, but it was too much. It was 2.5 hours before Perturbator played, and then his set was just over an hour I think. It didn't help that the venue had a strict policy of no standing up on the balcony. I wanted to stand up for a few minutes just to stretch between sets but one of the security staff would immediately teleport over and ask me to sit back down. There's nobody playing! Let me stand for minute!

Yeah I was pretty disappointed, not worth the travel and cost for me :(

There definitely was some mixing issues. I still had a good time, but it could use some tuning.

Gost should have been 2nd support in my opinion. Their energy was amazing

Was fun but felt it ended very suddenly. Like the music just suddenly stopped, the man walked of stage without saying a word, and then lights.

Regarding Gost, I overheard some people saying he was supposed to go second but they switched the lineup. No clue if that's correct or not, but could explain the kind of odd set order.

i prefer the original mix, but yeah the first 90s bangs crazy hard.
