"but I was hoping he'd play a wicked, bangin' set and he didn't."
To be honest I knew that would never happen cos its was that special set where it wasn't about the banging stuff it was the Wizard in true radio mix mode...I heard classics that I thought I would never hear again , his choice was unreal if you ask me, something for everyone :) -----Original Message----- From: lisa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 May 2003 04:52 To: Jim Bishop Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Jeff mills and richie at movement I've only seen Mills once before Movement 03 and I was a bit disappointed in his choice of sets - it seemed almost like he was doing a 'best of/hits' set hopping around different types of music but not necessarily in a manner that flowed well. I know it's not the best thing to go into a performance hoping for something, but I was hoping he'd play a wicked, bangin' set and he didn't. Like I said before I think he played a lot of good tunes and I liked watching him with the turntables (there were 3, right?). I didn't mind that he did cut-overs because some of that worked. What kinda sucked with that was some of the cut-over points he chose cut out verses or measures of the song that would have worked & left it feeling 'short' - like he stopped too soon and it wasn't pleasant/cool. There were a few wrecks on the decks, but maybe he was a bit frazzled from those early equipment problems? Like he got thrown off? I dunno. I have more stuff to put up and will do that soon - just a bit tired from getting back home tonight from Detroit after being without a computer since Friday! Hmmm, speaking of computers... Did anyone else notice how crappy the internet access was @ the Sony booth? I mean, it was great they had it but using satellite/wireless gave weird results - like sometimes really fast and other times worse than 56k (like 10 minutes just to load the google start page)! When the sun was out the connections were pretty good. :) Oh well, it was free... lisa Jim Bishop wrote: >I will say it cause many of you are thinking it. > >He sucked....seen mills 4 times and this was the worst.
