ha..thats exactly it - like i said the first time i SAW them was on TV, and at the time i was a 14 yr old hip hop kid with no appeciation of electronic music, but on the TV they showed them starting their live set EXACTLY how u describe it - and it just blew me away. it reminded me of Public Enemy, but plus some. i was more taken with the visuals than the audio at first. like you say, life defining stuff. opened my ears right up - next came 808 state, gerald, juan, beltram....never looked back.
