Monique,
I saw Orbital not long ago too, but one thing that taking those breaks proved to
me (though it did seem 'rock' concertish) is they *WERE* playing live. In those
breaks, the bald dude took a short bow, but the two quickly got to work prepping
the next song. I haven't seem many live IDM gigs, but these breaks showed it
wasn't some DAT fakie show. Show try to appreciate that bit at least, but I
understand your point. Thank god there wasn't any moshing, ewww
