thanks to all replied. . .dave,dana,and pete
i put DAT in DERE to pull out some e-mail wallflowers. . .pete you are right
ORBITAL is live. . .(to what extent, who knows). . .and also true is the fact
that their set in MA and NY were strikingly similar. . .and you hit the nail
on the head (abbreviated words below) when you said. . .
quoted 1 line if orbital played entirely new material. . .their listeners would. . .be mudd.>if orbital played entirely new material. . .their listeners would. . .be mudd.
although i highly doubt that they could ever do that. . .as you said
quoted 1 line demanding. . .orbital. . .be . . .different on each stop . . .is a bit much>demanding. . .orbital. . .be . . .different on each stop . . .is a bit much
(and i wouldn't demand them to be as such)
the plain fact remains that rich pulls it off everynight. . .and he uses the
same equipment in every city. . .(as does orbital/moby/vapor). . .
and i thought that that is quite noteworthy. . .(especially *intelligent*)
the question i guess we should be addressing is why can HE pull it off and not
the rest? there is no *rule* keeping any of the other performers from pulling
it off. . .aside from their own talents and what they want the crowd to hear
and ultimately remember about their *live performance*. . .dance music *bands*
tread a fine line when they choose to go *live* and it is clear to see the
difference between how orbital/et al and rich approach the task at hand
my largest disagreement with pete involves his use of the word
quoted 1 line unthemeatic (sik)>unthemeatic (sik)
having the ability to play something as ambient and beautiful as THA
directly after the bonecrushing acid of J9 in my ears is far from unthematic
i would use the words musically diverse. . .his diversity is an inspiration
and now pete .. . .really. . .
quoted 1 line grind belt sanders. . .and the fans would. . .yell how great it was>grind belt sanders. . .and the fans would. . .yell how great it was
can you blame fans for appreciating a music maker who is taking giant steps
in a genre of music that for the most part is wallowing in mediocrity and
starving for creative energy. . .
aphex fans should be commended for their acceptance of the polyrythmic and
syncopated beats. . .and then there's the bass
good day. . .tp
