A while ago I would have agreed with you 100%, but the last time I saw
Weatherall he bored me to tears. It was a fairly weak electro/breaks set
that did absolutly nothing for me, every other time I've seen him has
been fantastic though. I suppose that's a risk when you never play the
same set twice.
Hawtin on the other hand usually tours with a mostly predefined set of
fairly similar techno, (a bit weird as he's one of the biggest advocates
of Final Scratch which allows you to carry around a lot more records
than you could otherwise, anyway........) which doesn't mean that he can
a bit boring, especially if you've seen him a fair few times.
