my confused thoughts during that bit led me to think early-mid 80's Chris & Cosey vs. Velvet Underground. Everytime they finished a song I clapped and yelled "you're demented!". Borderline art/insane people pounding on shit w/lots of reverb. Outsider fer sure. I thought Signer and Greg Davis were awesome - Greg doing the audience sing along-max/msp fuckery was super cool. Nice people and nice sounds... chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
