I couldn't agree more. Wicked show. The bass player, drummer, vocals and kid on the main mix were amazing. The guy on keys was a bit wanky but that's ok. I thought they pulled off most of the tracks off the lp quite well with the exception of 'Control Freak' which was a bit fragmented and didn't quite have the punch of the original. I was most impressed with 'Our Disease' because the bass player actually NAILED that classic die bass line with a guitar and a shitload of fx peddles! woobwoobwaab woobwoobwoob woobwoobwuub great! Frankly, the dj sets kind of board the fuck out of me, especially the local, subflo (who's got tunes coming out soon on mix'n'blend). But alas, I'm a big dj die fan and he dropped 7 or 8 dillinja plates which all killed the system, including dil's new remix of 'autumn'! Unfortunately, I was feeling a bit sick so we split right after roni size went on. Also in the house was Dynamite, who was a bit subdued since his birthday was the day before the gig and Navigator, who's in town for that coachilla mess. Overall, a top notch night plus I finally picked up the album and a die mix CD for ten clams too! peace, brockout ps. sorry for the crosspost, but I though it was breaks compliant! --------- Ben wrote: > > greets; just wanted to give much props to the only name in drum and > bass that is fully y2k-compatible.....
