Have any of you seen Prefuse live? How does he actually do his stuff - I've seen an MPC on a pic, but does anyone have more info? His Vocal Studies is just wicked.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

it's great when you hear the artist actually twist the tracks a bit, isn't it. I hear he's touring Savath this year and that should be interesting as it's going to be a whole band then. What I love most about his stuff besides the glitchy beats is the jazzy vibes and the fact that it really lends itself to improvisation (that's the feeling I get listening to it) Cheers, roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I love Prefuse73, i bought all the cds and i've seen him play live 3 times... But I think that Apropa't album sounds like one big boring one-hour song. The singing is so monotone. No tracks really stand out, they all sound the same... really really bad and depressing stuff... Cant wait till the next prefuse release... Oh yeah and about the shows, the first time i saw prefuse with the live band, i think it sucked, the drummer ruined everything and the turntablist sucked.... the first act Manitoba totally stoled the show...People were leaving in the middle of the prefuse set... The second time i saw Scott with his band, i think it worked well. They had a better chemistry than on the first tour. They really rocked ! Beans opened and it was really good too. But no one really cared about Dabrye... ----- Original Message ----- From: <saltimbocca@gmx.de> To: <eggy@eggtastic.com> Cc: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 6:04 PM Subject: Re: [idm] How do people like Prefuse73 play live?

I can see how that could be criticism (however fairly put), but I think it's one of the strengths of Scott Herren's output. His output is varied between the various names but it's consistent within those names. Personally, I'm saddened that he's retired the Delasora and Asora stuff, as those are some of my favorite albums (backsome especially). It's nice to see that he's got a lot of variety of output, even if it's not all my cup o' tea. derek -- eggytoast.com -- eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I actually found myself liking it --- liking it quite a lot in fact. It is a new road he is trying out. Based on his musical inventiveness and rythmic skill -- he is allowing his art to be expressed in a new way. BTW: Wire Magazine review quote: "There is no fake authenticity in this musical exploration, and Herren's musical palette is impressively wide ranging..... Impossible to pigeonhole, on first listen "Apropra't" is almost casual in its effortless brilliance. Yet there's something really substantial at its core." --- EggyToast <eggy@eggtastic.com> wrote:

I think I might like Apropa't better if it didn't just sound so much like Stereolab with Spanish lyrics. I mean, yeah, it's technically good, and very well produced, but it's just a little boring to me. Maybe I just haven't been in the right headspace when I've been listening. Driving to work with it at 7:00AM probably isn't the best environment to really appreciate it. That said, I really love Track 8, Um Girassol, etc... That one really sticks out. Very pop.
