Hey tim,
Interesting insight, and comment.
There is, however one problem with those "live @..." sets. They were done
live. You never know how the crowd was reacting, and perhaps he was playing
the crowd (which he is _very_ good at).
I happened to have been in the "red room" at I love Techno to see him
perform at I Love techno last year (not sure if its the same as the
recording you were listening to or not), but found that he was entertaining
the crowd as much as can be done by a dj. And I thought he was extremely
good, even though his choice of music was a bit out of my taste.
Most of those types of recordings are not the same thing that would be
released if the purpose was to make a mix cd (i believe).
Just something to think about when listening to "live" sets taht weren't
meant to be recorded.
Cheers!
Dennis

I heard people here talking about Dave Clarke, and I've heard him compared
to Hawtin in other circles, so I decided to give him a shot. I downloaded
'Dave Clarke - Live @ I Love Techno [Red Room]' from Napster and I would
like to know, has anyone else heard this? <RANT> What the hell is this guy
trying to do? Excessive use of Pioneer DJM-600 effects on cheesy default
settings, no regard whatsoever for 4/4 timing and proper breaks, and a
complete lack of song selection seemed to be the obvious problems I saw.
Hawtin could make a more entertaing show with the original RCA phonograph
and two volume controls. </RANT> On the good side, he has some nice
crossfader technique once in awhile.
Sorry, I had to get this off of my chest, but if someone out there knows of
a good set by our esteemed Mr. Clarke, please clue me in.
Regards,
Tim
