Well, I saw him play a couple of years back, and my experience was much
the same as the one you describe. He walked up on stage, put a copy of the
same Panacea record on both decks, and proceeded to trainwreck them back
and forth for the first few minutes. After another 20 minutes of sloppy
mixes of mediocre drum'n'bass records, I left.
I like his earlier records (the more experimental stuff - his hip-hop and
d'n'b influenced work leave me cold), but I have yet to hear a good word
about his live performances, and I find his writing horribly
self-important and pretentious. I considered going to see him here in
Toronto on Friday night to see if it would be any better, but decided to
rent a flick and stay home instead.
