A:Use it to create some fine music. Example: Mouse on Mars yesterday at the Electric Ballroom, London. A fantastic show - check them out if ever they come your way - but totally devoid of rock'n'roll histrionics. One drummer, with big hair, backed up with some synthesised percussion. One guy giving a large red synth some stick, and a third coaxing some bizarre sounds from a traditional guitar type thing. Equipment? Who knows?: The synth which bore the brunt of the tweeking onslaught was like I say red Another small unit through which some of the sound appeared to be fed said LOVETONE on the back in blue. Hope this means something to somebody Probably would have appreciate the show more with earplugs - true, I must get some I also took the oppportunity, while in London to pick up, amongst other things: Optical - To Shape The Future (Metalheadz) and 0161 - Skam Will post my opinions if I get a moment love mike
