lol, this is the fucking funniest thing i've ever read in an interview with an electronic musician.... Were parts of Ultravisitor recorded on tour? Yes, in fact most of the tracks are recorded from shows either in the UK or in the US/Canada. The point of using live versions of the tracks is that they show stupid people that, though their own stubbornness prevents them from being able to engage with my music, they hear other people cheering in the background, and realise that although this music is obscure, it cannot be totally inaccessible because other people like it. Because it is obscure, but not totally inaccessible, this makes it cool. This makes stupid people buy it. One day their children will dust it off and play it, and realise that I am the supreme musical genius of my generation. This means I'll still be able to play gigs when I'm an old fart with no ideas. Hopefully. from: http://www.warprecords.com/?news=791 I was allways wondering how come so many people were shouting and screaming and generally getting excited at his gigs, I'd come to the conclusion that they were intimidated by his shouts of 'come on you cunts!!' but I guess his explanation makes sense too :) ...skism --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
