There was a cool all-live event in the Detroit area on Saturday -- a party called Vivisection. The highlight the first-ever live PA by Ectomorph. Their set consisted (almost) entirely of new material [plus a few of the old locked grooves]. Standout of the evening was a new track that started out with one of those trademark syncopated 808-riffs. After a few seconds, BMG reaches over and turns down the tempo knob and suddenly we're in full-on hip-hop territory, and then his partner G. starts playing these wild Bernie Worrell-style vamps. The best news -- they were going back into the studio the next day to put this stuff down on wax. :) Next up was Khan (Force Inc.) with some pummeling (but sonically cool) hard stuff. Most unexpected part of the evening was Alec Empire doing what I can only describe as digital deathmetal -- breakbeats way above 200BPM and cattle-disembowling noises. A little too intense for my candy ass. ;) -- dave walker, detroit art services _ marmoset@mich.com born freeke <A HREF="http://www.mich.com/~marmoset/">Dave Walker</A>
