Ahh...Phoneix. I saw Sasha and Digweed right here in little ole Kansas City, Missouri, on Monday night. For those of you outside of the USA, Kansas City is nothing to brag about - it's less than 800,000 people and it's easy to confuse us with a _real_ city. Be that as it may, Sasha and Digweed were probably the best act I have ever seen, beat the pants of the Chem Brothers, smoother than Paul Oakenfold and certainly better lights than Carl Cox. I could shoot myself for not having gone to Chicago and seen Kraftwerk a few years ago when I had a chance. If only I could compare.... Nat Somewhere in Kansas, USA -----Original Message----- From: Enrique Correa [mailto:ENRIQUEC@heraeusmtd.com] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 3:53 PM To: 'KW' Subject: [Kraftwerk] (OT) Chemical Brothers Last night I went to a Chemical Brothers concert here in Phoenix, and I must admit didn't liked as much. A few tunes here and there, but the rest was pretty boring. The thing I liked about them the most was their gear set up. Pretty impressive, although all they did was tweaking knobs on a mixing console, while the synths and the rest of boards were blinking leds like crazy. Their opening act, Sasha & Digweed, on the other hand, certainly pleased me with plenty of blissed melodies and punchy baselines. Techno and trance at their finest on the (IMHO) world's finest DJ's turntables made my night a lot more enjoyable. Bottom line, I have lost a few pounds dancing to Sasha & Digweed, but I gained them back sitting at the bar drinking beers when the Brothers were on. Oh well... I remember some guy making a comment about my Man Machine T-shirt... "a kraftwerk shirt! I haven't seen one of those in a looooong time" I was so wasted at that point that all I could do was smile back at him... Just as a sidenote, when the Brothers played "Music Response", they did it without the vocals... probably because of that controversy with its similarity to "Musique Non Stop", dunno. Also, there was a song which remind me A LOT to Jean Michel Jarre's "Revolution". Those brothers are something else, aren't they?

------------- It was like the New York City of the midwest a century ago, according to a Ken Burns jazz documentary on PBS. It was really swinging, and people stopped there instead of traveling all the way to the West Coast.
