I find the whole thing pretty darn funny. Its interesting how we demand this
cult of personality that is akin to a rock-concert in regards to electronic
music. Yes you are overreacting... its all pretty faceless music anyhow and
who cares who is "playing" Elph music? For god sake, Peter and John would
just as likely to have been spinning CD's if they did turn up.
I hope Peter Rehberg was playing a joke... if he had thought about it
properly, he would have replaced the entire evenings performances with
imposters. Now that would be funny!
