Just watched amp and all at my flat are a little shocked. What's up with the mixes?!? I get the idea behind what they're trying to do and I think is cool and everything, but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. If the mtv people are going to mix shit with different tempos, please stick to 'heads on tails' or the ambient bits. Hearing a 90 second trainwreck farting out of my tv is not cool. Five times in a row was even more not cool. I only watched for about 15 minutes and was shocked! It had the same effect as really bad DJ, playing the hits, which is a pretty major crime around my house. One kraftwerk track (cant remember what) mixed into 'The Robots' then 'Voodoo Ray' pops in REAL quietly, gets louder then wham, mix in a little sakamoto crap, then slap some Aux 88 on top. All semi long mixes (aprox 30 to 60 seconds) All completely fucked. Didn't anyone listen to the final cut of the show and say: 'hey, what's that horrible BRAP BRAPPP BUMP SLAP BRAP BRAP BUMP BUMP SLAP KNOCK sound that's coming out of the speakers? Is it really supposed so sound like that? Those crazy kids and their techno...' Yeah right. Sorry for the rant but it was all a little too weird not to say something.

I'm a bit faded and forgot to add this bit to the last post: On a positive note, I'm glad to see that the quality of the AMP bumpers and graphics have improved a hundred fold. The show is looking quite a bit slicker these days. peace out, brock.
