Those guys from (2/5) Can sucked!!!! It would be tough to decide who is worse them or Spinal Tap. I have had some of Can's CDs and they have done some interesting stuff. Last night was not the slightest bit interesting, just bad 70s rock. Lexanculpt vs Brad Laner was really cool!! It was the first time I had ever heard them after much hype on IDM. Alex deserves the respect he gets on IDM. It was a very good experimental set, leaning in the direction of artists like Autechre. While I like alot of the stuff Bard Laner has done in the past, I think I could have done without some of the squelchy noise that he used. Nevertheless it was still very cool. Too bad it was so short. I thought Mark Spyvie was a little better than Brock gave him credit for. I wasn't expecting to like him that much because I wasn't too into the Dead Voices on Air and the Not Breathing/Dead Voices On Air material. I was surprised that I liked it. It certainly wasn't the best thing that I heard, but it was pretty cool. I thought he did a pretty good job, and he defintely had some good moments. Two-Fifths of Can....did they have a name for that band? Was not experimental at all, or even slightly interesting. It was for the most part 70s crap! We gave them a chance by sitting through a couple of songs, and they were just getting worse. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
