while i enjoyed the show and recommend it to most of ya'll (and many non
idm-list, non this list type music fans), i can COMPLETELY understand this
(alan's) perspective.
i think it is silly that folks are pointing to cex as some great idm
performer that others should follow -- while he is great at what
he does, i just cannot see folks like AE and phoenecia busting it out like
he does. often times i enjoy the sterile environment/presentation of an
idm show (well, i much prefer folks getting lost in the music and going
mad, but i dont need the performer to do that for me and/or everyone
else)... and to have someone yapping over the music i like to hear the
whole time could get very old -- so i can understand how folks might be
turned off by this if they ENJOY idm type music as it is normally
presented.
that said, cex was very, very good.. we laughed a lot. it was funny. it
was fun. it was goofy. but i cannot say it was much more (the sound at
the austin show SUCKED). and i will say i was craving a bit more of his
agro vocal style like in "academy award" or whatever it is called.
for what it's worth,
chris
