We'll I think that the rawness of the recording speaks for itself. For example DJ KICKS - CJ BOLLAND has a great mix of techno, the mixes were obviously done in a studio. Thats great and all that. The Jeff Mills is live it has the volume change and it is not perfect. It feels more real, and I respect that it captures the true feeling of being there. I thought that it was cool that it was released just as it, instaed of trying to cosmetically improve it. I have never heard him spin (in person), but I look forward to hearing him someday. I heard that Dave Clarke is similar in his DJ technique, I can't wait to hear him also. B i l l S a m u e l s w l s @ U . A r i z o n a .
