Simple question, tough choice !

I voted EML Ritual (best live visuals they had in years, perfectly fitting) and TPPR (such color, much psychedelia, so church, wow!)

UTI and I'll see you there. If they added some backdrop visuals for the robots would of been a plus.

UTI Robots!!! What a grande surprise seeing those actual fully functioning robots. Like KNE said it would have been cool if the army of robots could be added as a visual back drop.

EML Ritual and the giant robots, of course!

What's not to love? :D

I love the Robots during UTI, but I LOVE the brief 'It doesn't Matter' sequence with the bug scatter, elephant, monkey, pelican, ostrich, etc. crossing.  So simple yet so awesome!

I ended up voting for EML Ritual, but the Golden Path visuals/track is what really stuck with me from the live experience. It was so intense and psychedelic, especially during the spoken parts.

But EML Ritual was so awesome and well-done. Perfectly fits the track and the black and white was really cool. The whole thing has an evil-but-fun vibe.

Does anyone else think that the guy they show right before the first drop (just before the child) looks a lot like Ted Bundy? It definitely gives the visuals/track an even darker vibe when you make the connection.

It is a testament to how good the new visuals are this year that no one voted for Saturate.

I will not vote unless there's the phoning Mad Ma(rk)x from Elektrobank in the list.

Cool thread. Maybe we could do the best of all visuals.

I loved the music response and out of control visuals from 2002, also the old hbhg mathematical visuals were cool, but the one that fuck me right in the head was EBW7 original visuals that's appeared at the legendary Wolvehampton 2004 gig.

From the tour the EDM and ISYT are my faves.

EML
ISYT

the visuals of EML + the light show may be the best they have ever done. The coordination and execution of the concept in the that combination is worthy of that.

I thought for this tour overall there were some improvements and maybe some needed improvement.

the picky not so favourable:

I've never gotten the floating IKEA furniture in Hey boy hey girl, the dancing neon guy part is still OK. I get the 3D figure for Sometimes I feel So Deserted is in same style as Horse Power but just felt maybe poorly executed like a rushed 3D rendering choppy animated gif that went for too long. The song is so powerful I felt it didn't do it justice enough. And if Star Guitar is back the best visuals for that were the Come With Us Tour ones (with temptation intro beforehand)

the obviously good ones:

The robots, love the continuation of these friends of ours the fact they sing and shoot out lasers! EML ritual  is pretty much perfection for that song and captured the hyper-anxiety of that song. I'll See You there is great and suits it well too besides the Mathew Dear video that was discovered and quite similar both inspired by the same film. The reflective light crystal is cool for reflection etc. the phone electrobank part is a good continuation from what we've seen in the past.

I like the old chemical beats firework visual. The new visual is great not I think it would of gone better with sifsd just like the music video.

I do too! CB needs that visual back.

Btw, I too see to many stick figures as visual (DIA, galvanize, SIFSD, etc) doesn't bother but I'm sure  they'll get upgrades.

I want my new SG visual!

Full power

The transition from Out Of Control into Temptation into Star Guitar is one of the best they've ever done

And the energy from the Fuji Rock crowd

Priceless. Full win on so many levels

Love the lightshow and visuals during galvanize, simple but very effective.

I chose EML Ritual and Under The Influence (because Roborts with laser beams shooting from their eyes).

With that in mind, I will say that I wished the robots hung around a bit longer. For how grand they were, their appearance was too brief!

As we are waxing nostalgic, my favorite visuals were from when I saw them during Push The Button - the visuals during Hoops. The show was inside a giant tent at Coachella, outside, but sheltered just enough to feel intimate. The bird visuals bled from the front projection and swirled all around throughout the inside of the tent. It felt totally immersive and magical.

I wish I saw them during PTB, because ANIMAL TRACK

I think that complete the best live show was in 2011/2012 with Dont Think Show! Excellent selection of all live tracks with continuing visualisation.

This year was good visuals for new track EML Rituals and I´ll see you there, but  I was disappointed from the selection of live tracks - some parts was chaotic :(

And where was your excellent MAGIC CIRCLE during show 2011? It was missing during live 2015 - why? It´s a pitty.

I hope that you will bring back :)

Ditched the  Magic Circle, got Laser Rave Robots instead. Sounds like a fair deal.
