You must be joking! He plays LIVE ... he is alive, have you not seen the way he
taps his feet to the beat?
Joking apart, I've seen mu-ziq play live in Rotterdam, twiddling his knobs,
cursing his mouse ... it's not all pre-programmed ... he distorts and squeeks
on the job. Have you ever seen a idm act before? What do you want? go-go
dancers? (then I suggest Quazar, yuk!)
In fact that mu-ziq gig was the second best act I saw last year. Locust was my
number one (of course).

Well, he gave me (and my friends) lots of smiles ... and talking to him is an
extreme pleasure. He's friendly, helpful and *above all* dedicated to his
music.

You mean the audience was mad, because THEY came for the music ... not the
'show'?

Oh yeah ... and what did they do?
Excuse me for my outburst, but you give the Dutch a bad name ... perhaps it's
the lights?
