2 more cents...even though there were Ninja artists, Asphodel artists,
and Island and Astralwerks as well, the show was firstly a Giant Step show
*and* as much a CMJ show.
As for the "free badge" people not getting in ,* even those that showed up
early* , I
don't doubt it at all. I've seen it in previous CMJ showcases and actually
expected it.
Don't ever be suprised by corruption.

Just let me clarify that it wasn't really our show. We had 2 acts booked
into the opening party. The show was pretty good. It was a bit 'showcase'
like. Running order of the acts probably should have been a bit different
so that it flowed better but what can you do. Unfortunatly Coldcut's set
got pushed back later and there set was cut short due to scheduling, but
they rocked anyway. If anyone caught it, the software they were using to
mix the audio and visual is what we are releasing next year.
As for CMJ. It's always that way. As with any confernece (Midem, Pop
Komm, etc...) if you really want to see a particular show it involves a
whole lot of early lineups. Not always so easy in NY as you've usually
spent most of the evening waiting in line to eat, stuck in cross-town
traffic, etc...
