Hi all, So I saw Thomas Fehlman last night at the Empty Bottle. He performed for a little over an hour with his powerbook and maybe a chaos pad attached. He did a non-stop set mixing from track to track, and was very dancey tunes. I highly reccomend checking it out if you like the Orb... No visuals, but Fehlman does dance quite a bit, and interacts with the crowd. He even moves like LX! He did perform a new Orb song in his set, along with Cool Harbour, plus some older Fehlman tracks too. Spoke with the man after his set, and he told me this was his first time in Chicago, and he enjoyed it very much. He also told me that the new Orb album has been pushed back to June 11th in Japan. I shook his hand and thanked him for performing here and wished him safe travels. As for Jen Jelnik, I thought he looked just like Mike Meyer's "Dieter" from Sprockets... He performed amost an hours worth of Cologne-esque tracks, Oval/Microstoria comes to mind. I thought it was quite interesting at times and tedious at others. Before that was a duo of Greg Davis and Steven Hess, One on a pc, the other on drums. THe drums were mic'ed through the powerbook and had all sorts of treatments done to the sounds. Interesting at first, but it went from avant-garde jazz like drumming to just making soft noises with no noticeable rhythmn, and made for difficult watching after a while. It would've been fun had I been the drummer I'm sure. Gavin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
