sorry if this comment is a little late, but i am new on the net so... did anybody catch the nasa tour with moby, aphex twin, orbital, and vapour space? in seeing vapour space live i found that i was somewhat unexcited about his set. he did a lot of really cool things, but i didn't really dig the way his tracks were laid out. he had some cool beats but he never held them long enough, and then there was this ambient wash that kind of went over all his tracks. the music, i found, was really de-ephasizing of everything, things stood out momentarily but nothing really developed in full. his stuff isn't entirely dance oriented nor is it oriented towards listening either. i found that the material wasn't "interesting" enough to really listen to and not driving enough to move me. what is the recorded material like? is it like the material he played out with? manish

Where did you see the show (i.e. which date)? I'd imagine some are better than others. I saw the one in San Francisco, and it looked to me like it went pretty well. My impression of Vapourspace was U.F.O.-esque blue Intellibeams and tweaky analogue tranciness. It looked like the crowd was really responding, and that he made a pretty big impact on everyone. The show did strike me as being somewhat ephemeral...hard to get a handle on...but I thought that was kind of intriguing.

i saw the show in new york city, at columbus circle, it was called MASKARAVE 2. i really enjoyed the show, and by far felt that orbital did a great job. i got to meet the hartnolls afterwards and had a really good time talking with them. they are really cool, really down to earth, and they respected a nobody like myself. i also talked with MOBY again, and no matter what anybody says about his music and what not, i must say he is a really polite and nice guy. i missed my opportunity to meet APX twin. oh well, maybe next time. i wasn't so impressed with the twin's performance. the only song he played that i recognized was track 2 off his ambient music disc. he didn't play digeridoo, which is too bad because that was the track that really turned me onto his music. so all you folks on the west coast got to see YAP perform for the tour? that's cool! what did you think of his stuff? greg, a.k.a. YAP, is really cool... i had the opportunity to spend some time with him over summer (a couple of days) and i really enjoyed talking with him. this whole genre of music is interesting because a lot of the people making the music don't have that "bad ass star" attitude found in rock & roll music. i find that to be really endearing, much more sincere- and that's so cool. manish

They're also not "stars". Get anyone on a *major* celebrity level, like say, David Letterman, and they're not going to be too cosy when the umpteenmillionth fan comes up to gush over them. I've dealt with a lot of musicians inside and outside of the rave scene. Never have I ever met anyone acting less than friendly. Should Bill Leeb be an asshole because his music is aggressive? Even Trent Reznor, Mr. BFPT to the world, was courteous and rather subdued when I met him. The whole "real nice people" is such a cliche every time I see it, what else do you honestly expect? They WANT you to appreciate them. ObIDM: Buy Reload.

i think that there is a difference between being genuinely down to earth and being pleasant. sure they WANT you to appreciate them but on an individual level they may not give you the time of day. it's not even a question of gushing and what not, i can see how that could be annoying... i was just surprised at how down to earth some of the people who make this music are. i find it kind of interesting in that most of the musicians i have met are so cool while some of the DJs i have met (most, actually) are kind of assholes. the most interesting paradox is that the DJs who are basically unknowns, locals, tend to have more attitude than even the biggest name DJs. i can't figure it out. manish

How true, how true...There's a DJ like that here in Seattle (I won't name names...) who's got a massive rockstar complex despite the fact that a)he's really not all that popular as DJs go and b)his sets are boring and pointless. Peace (how ironic), Matt <(hcy)>
