Dark haired guy, Max Loderbauer. Blond guy, Tom Thiel.

I was at the Chicago show on Saturday. I was going to write something up
but forgot to. Their setup was right in front of the crowd barricade. Tom
was just tweaking a soundboard the whole time. Other equipment: Apple Mac
(Remind you of RDJ?), Korg Prophecy (I think, it was silver), Nord Rack,
some other rack item, sampler below. I was like five feet from them.
People were standing ten inches from Tom's face. One tall guy was yelling
shit at him about 7 minutes into their set. He looked up at him but
otherwise they were very concentrated on their set. I thought most of the
equipment they had would have broke down because it was so humid. Tom was
sweating very hard, he had on some plaid pants. I couldn't recognize
anything they did (I don't have any albums), but was very pleased. The
crowd only got into it when Max touched his Prophecy to make a drum and
bass, bassline.

I was standing in the balcony and could see that all LX was doing, Was
spinning records! I went back down to the floor and watched Andy do
everything. He has some help though, some guy with blond dreadlocks was
helping him trigger samples and the like.

>(least fav orb track),
S.A.L.T. was terrible. I have no idea why it's in their set. The other
stuff was nice. The great songs were the ones which lasted like 45
seconds. I think they were samples of people singing really absurd some.
Another one was true drum and bass, without a hint of dub, very different
track for the orb. I'd like to hear somemore tracks like this. I don't
think the last album was a radical change for them, as the press had said.
If they did this weird drum and bass shit, I'd be happier with their future
rather than this bullshit.

I really like Toxygene but both times I saw the orb it sounded like the
"can" sound or whatever that is that keeps the melody is drowned in the
bassline, that really pissed me off. I think the encore song was some
unreleased song.
