Bro, Bro Bro. What in the hell is this message trying to do? We were
almost over this whole Organic riff, and now this. Well, everyone knows
how I feel about the Chemical Brothers music. (If you don't, I'm a BIG
fan).
As far as the Live vs. Prerecorded deal goes, this poses too many
possible questions or replies to be a serious appeal.
I.E: "Who really performs totally live anymore, anyway? Like a group
that isn't electronic might have prerecorded stuff...."
Bad example, but Curve was almost totally prerecorded in Phoenix.
Electronic music performed live is almost a contradiction in itself.
Putting complex structures of sonic textural sound together is amazing;
replicating this live is something else, which is why people switch some
sounds to dat, in order to put on a show that has sounds that are
distinguished on albums/ep's, and to be able to layer sounds, etc....
or, "Well, a band like Orbital uses mainly sequences of PRERECORDED
material and splices them together in order to perform a song. Does this
mean that it's not live?"
See, too tough to draw lines this way, Sean, so just enjoy the sounds and
dance your arse off. That's what I do at a live gig. Peace
