        I caught the Orbital/Crystal Method show last night at the Hammerstein
Ballroom in NYC. I couldn't help but think of the Kraftwerk show last year.
4 screens flashed multiple images, and a nice light show made it
enjoyable. P & P looked like robots from the back of the Ballroom.

        Crystal Method played for about 45 minutes. I was blinded by their lights
flashing out into the audience. Recognized "Busy Child", and "Keep Hope
Alive". Entertaining.

        Here is Orbital's setlist. I copied most it from someone on the Orbital
list (forgot his name):

Way Out
Spare Part Express
Impact (with the first & second parts flipped)
Know Where To Run
Halcyon (with Bon Jovi & Belinda Carlisle samples)
I Don't Know You People
The Box
Nothing Left 2
Style (Album Version)
Big Pipe Style
E: Satan
E: Dr. Who
E: Chime

        I missed hearing "Lush", "Forever", and "The Girl With The Sun In Her
Head". Check out the tour if it swings out your way.
