i had the opportunnity to peform with brinkmann at a show in cleveland dec
1998, he was very good and had a similiar set-up to what you describe...with
the the addition of his well known two arm turntable. anyhow the audience
was very into his set, although not at first...it took about an hour or so
for the chin scratchers and head nodders to start moving around, brinkamnn
definately knew how to work the crowd and did so by cutting the music out at
various points in his set and looking at the crowd while the cheered and
exhorted him to start again...then he would hit play and resume...the crowd
ate it up.
i am not sure if a crowd has to dance to be into someone's music, i am not
really a dancer mself, but as a musician and a performer, it definately
makes you excited and "into" what you ae doing when people start "getting
down"...

I had the opportunity to see Brinkmann doing a live PA at the "W:lson:c"
festival in Slovakia... he was riding an old analog drum machine and two
Norld Micro Modulars driven by two Yamaha QY-700s... fine setup...
minimalistic but not inexpensive...;)
Brinkman's music was awesome; quite different from those on his
releases, though... flat drums and pure synth phrases, definitely less
tricks and weirdness... actually some kind of "real techno" ;) ,
monotonic and hypnotic.
The slovakian guys were sitting on the floor all the time - although
Brinkmann started his set tossing a 20s box of Heineken bier to the
audience.
BTW, is it common in the USA that the audience stays sitting even if
they like what they hear?
