I saw Loop Guru/Dr Alex Patterson/MBM here this past Monday. Loop Guru
played about 7 or 8 drum loops, played along to them on three different
drum sets, while one girl screamed into a microphone along with the
screaming wailing sounds on the DAT, and a bald headed guy played guitar.
Amazingly enough, the crowd _really_ got into some of their stuff. Must
have been cause most of them looked like they'd been there for Nine Inch
Nails the night before.
LX was king. Tops. Ace. His mixing skills leave a little to be desired, but
his choice of music sure as hell doesn't. He's got quite a collection of
_stuff_. All styles represented, but the second half of his 1 hour set
focussed squarely on Drum n Bass/Jungle. He was really getting into it on
some tracks, even dancing around a bit. Can't wait to hear the new album!
Meat Beat segued nicely into LX's set, and played about 10 minutes of stuff
that Jack claimed: "We're just making this shit up.".
Yeah... right. ! :) "It's In my BRAAAAIN now.!" Woah... that number
(3rd track they played) got _everyone_ slamming around. Couple of fights
broke out as people tried to mosh, bouncers carried them away. But the vibe
was well established by that song. Everyone carried it through on the other
choice cuts, like Electric People (160 BPM!?!?!? MASSIVE!), Asbestos Lead
Asbestos, etc... Lots of energy as usual from Jack and the lads.

Electric Skychurch are an ambient/IDM type troupe. Not sure who is in the
group, but my favorite release by them was the Deus single (the long
version that takes up one side of the record).
