Because the Canadian dollard sucks big time and why go to the
States when you don't have to ...
I don't think we dislike them that much, there was maybe only
a small handfull of people that did not really liked Ae show,
most of them were no real fan to begin with, and as soon as there
is a live Techno show ( with live "playing") people get exited
and expect it to be more danceable and more "fun".
I know that audiences in Montreal were really good the first time
Ae came in Montreal, Ae even composed a song with the name
Montreal ( on Amber ), because they felt that there was something
really special in the city compared to what they've seen in other
cities around north America; maybe it has changed ...
I think that Ae changed so much in the last few years that many
early fan ( as I was ) did not continue buying and following all
of the latest releases and shows. I went to the show knowing that
it would be something different, and I was not that all surprised
of the crowd response to either David Kristian and Ae. They were
really more confused when Derek Carter came after Ae.
Max.
