I think Eight Ball was incongruous to the rest of the set this time around. I've seen the YouTube of Karl doing it at Union Chapel and it seemed pretty magical and in place there. Honestly I was rather surprised to see it turn up in Berlin, such a chill song deserving of a different atmosphere.
Would I go to an entirely chill show similar to something a drone band like Winged Victory for the Sullen would play, with seated audience? Possibly, but then we would be missing the electric vibe Karl gives off. I'm not sure he could stay still for very long (though did seem to be doing a damn good job of it during the dubno shows).
I love some of their more intricate pieces and in a perfect world would have a fans only show of those, with some great stompers as a closer
