Spooky is from the school of old school hip-hop and dub. He's not about playing a set that sound like the same freaking song played for 90 mintes and anal retentive technique worship. It's all about the mindfuck. Just because he has some delusions of granduer in his liner notes has little to do with what his music sounds like. I saw the Scanner/DJ Spooky show last night in SF, and while I think Spooky was a little off last night(both of the performers made it well known that they were not happy with the sound setup), I've seen him before and been blown away. Nonbelievers and the curious should pick up "Songs From a Dead Dreamer" and the "Galactic Funk" 12'. Final Note: If you don't like him, fine. If you feel the need to resort to high school insults, flame me by private mail. ------------------------
