Its all well and good to bring christian marclay into this - I've seen him perform as well... He is much better than spooky... But to call him a dj would be a mistake - he does not refer to himself as a DJ he is a "sound sculptor" Who arranges "found sound". He will adamantly refute all claims of being a dj - he is merely a pretentious artist - He has no ties nor affiliations with "dance" music or culture. All I am saying is that maybe spooky should keep to his trendy artist scene and go to his friggin parisian art exhibitions where people don't expect music. They expect "art" in all it's abstract and ugly glory. All I am proposing is he stays in his museums and magazine offices wrighting crap articles and stop trying to perpetrate like he is a friggin spokesman for the Dj or the dance/chillout scene.
