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?
Cheers,
