Perhaps James doesn't want to be backed up, but I agree entirely. The new u-ziq stuff sounded a bit rough when he was supporting Orbital in April/May. When supporting Aphex it was a revelation - enough to make you forgive the mediocrity of a lot of Paradinas' recent output. Of course the album may not be as good as the live 'performance' but I doubt it. Then again, I'm only saying what my Virgin paymasters bid me. adam
