sure i was blown away.
but...
im sorry, i thought the squarepusher show last night was crap. technically
impressive, for sure-o. an unbelievable level. but wasn't anyone else
insulted at the assumption that the audience is so attention deprived that
any moment not crammed with huge sound is a moment wasted? whatever
happened to subtlety? contrast? i understand it was a "dance" show but even
that was sparse.
lets face it- we all may as well have been watching a good old fashioned
yngvee malmstein show. at least he'd a had fire shootin up. how many notes
can we play? scalloped fretboard and all. ;)
i should qualify this by adding that the whole thing was made worse because
i know what an incredible composer he actually is.
Ritalin anyone?
