you know, i even enjoyed nitzer ebb and front line assembly back in 1992. NE was 2 guys standing up beating electronic pads, presequenced (or recorded, who knows) backing, and doug mccarthy in bike shorts stalking the stage like a maniac. it was thoroughly enjoyable. FLA was 1 or 2 guys behind keyboards, plus bill leeb and his spiky hair out front. they were all in silhouette, but they had a 16-screen videowall hanging behind them. it was a great atmosphere. how much was "live"? no idea. i'm not going to split hairs about it since they obviously tried to do something and for me it worked. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
