Ok, let me put a quash on all this talk about "how World Party was a flop".
no ... I at least meant flop in every American, commercial sense of the word.
The music was definitely not there yet ... this was the city that
couldn't keep the narrow confines of the Music Institute open. And a
year or so later she books Joe Louis Arena ... not smart. It was a
shallow attempt to capitalize on all the Europeans in for the World
Cup games. Too bad they were all staying a half hour away around
Pontiac where the games were being held. Carol took a huge risk and
it didn't pay off.
And the credibility ... that would all be down to that event's
artistic consultant ... Gary Arnett. Props. I'll have to drag out
the flyer to list the killer line-up.
I think the last two DEMF's were successes on commercial *and*
artistic levels. But that's just one
aging-techno-gone-all-downtempo-and-broken-beat man's opinion. :)
