I guess live TG sucks then. Well, you may think so, but they are considered by many to be innovators in electronic improvisation. 95% of Fax sucks too then (I know some would agree this statement...I don't!) since most of it is not compositionally "perfect." In fact, there is little music being made these days that is compositionally perfect. I like a well constructed rhythm track as much as anyone but there's more to music than perfect programming. I'm also wondering why I can never find anyone to sell me any of the early B12 vinyl and the Prelude-Pt.1 CD if B12 "sucks." I'll gladly buy any of these B12 items off anyone who thinks they suck (or even if you don't think they suck I'll still buy them from you!)

I missed those posts, thanks for the correction. It's hard to read every post with the volume I get sometimes. There was quite a bit of discussion a little while back about Warp turning down their latest. Glad to hear it's coming out. Tony
