To the person who asked whether it was worth seeing Banco de Gaia
live (sorry, I deleted your message by accident), yes, yes and YES.
Whatever some people might say about Last Train to Lhasa, fair
enough, that's their opinion but bear in mind that a lot of bands
play totally different live as to what they release. My introduction
to techno/trance/idm came with a top night out at the 1994 (?) New
Years Eve Megadog at Brixton Academy. The line-up was Banco de Gaia,
Drum Club, Eat-Static, Orbital, Ozric Tentacles (!!) and co. and
having been to see most of them again, and having bought most
of their albums, I can tell you the recorded stuff is pretty good but
the live material kicks arse.
