when i saw him in chicago at the warp nesh thing all he had was a laptop (or at least that's all i could see) and he rocked the house. i've never seen a whole venue begin dancing the second the first sound comes out of the speakers like that. instant success. when i saw him a few months ago in SF with four tet, i seriously left a little while after four tet went off. he had a live drummer and some other mates on the stage with him, and it sounded like poo from where i was sitting. not that having a band is bad - the drummer himself actually sounded pretty good, its just that (in order of cause and effect) #1 it did not sound like a cohesive whole and #2 it didnt sound like prefuse73 and #3 i couldnt dance to it. i own uprock and 92v02, and didnt buy one word because of that show. i'd love to hear people's opinions of that album - should i give it a second chance or stick with my intuition? did he use that "band" (translation - fiasco) to make that album? greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
