sure i was blown away. but... im sorry, i thought the squarepusher show last night was crap. technically impressive, for sure-o. an unbelievable level. but wasn't anyone else insulted at the assumption that the audience is so attention deprived that any moment not crammed with huge sound is a moment wasted? whatever happened to subtlety? contrast? i understand it was a "dance" show but even that was sparse. lets face it- we all may as well have been watching a good old fashioned yngvee malmstein show. at least he'd a had fire shootin up. how many notes can we play? scalloped fretboard and all. ;) i should qualify this by adding that the whole thing was made worse because i know what an incredible composer he actually is. Ritalin anyone? alan on 7/24/03 1:26 PM, lysaabi at lysaabi@earthlink.net wrote:
