Yeah, sure. I know many people like that kind of music. Don't understand why, though :-) (Well, of course somebody likes to dance only...) But, the point is: The party was supposed to be the opening party for Ambient City radio, and it was titled "Ambient Dub". I for one don't expect to hear the usual "thump-thump"-techno in such party. (And neither did most all of my friends who had similar feelings about the party. Even the guy who does the musical editing for the Ambient City.)

I know he has some Finnish parent or something. Still, he doesn't LIVE in Finland... Actually I haven't really listened to their recorded material. I heard they only played some DAT tape as live at the aforementioned party.

I have heard the Probe, and they played worse stuff. Hmm, I did't say my opinions are some kind of universal truth, did I? I only wanted to point out that the stuff they played live was very different from "Frequencies" and inferior (IMNSHO), which was a big disappointment.
