:D
Granted, I've wondered if All Tomorrow's Parties were ever really geared
towards electronic music. Although electronic music is definitely
different from most other types of live performance, I've never heard about
an experience that went over well for a huge crowd. The sound is *never*
good outside like that, you can't see what's going on (not that much
usually is, even with rock bands). It's just always seemed like more of an
"indie thing" to me. Has anyone been to a really GOOD big outdoor
electronic show? And I don't mean any of those lame trancy things, or
anything where you were obligatorily drugged in order to perceive some
faint enjoyment with the music.
And you gotta love big-shot producers who are so anti-sampling yet throw
strings into big ballady songs. Yea, they know how to barely play a
guitar, and suddenly there's a violin? or 3, or 6! The violins are out of
control!
