Sorry, did not really follow the discussion...but in order to get back to the music, i came across this: http://www.verrissen.org/mixi/surge...-03-2005-dc.mp3
2 hours of Surgeon with his Ableton madness recored at the final goodbye party from Tresor earlier this year... Did he ever play at Lost?

For the last years ive heard the 25,30 and over people saying "it used to be better, young do not appreciate the good things"... Err sounds like my parents. I think such parties (ive never been to Lost, but i guess what u mean) should probably try to get some smaller venues to stay successful in terms of crowd, atmosphere and music, rather than changing their musical style which obviously does not fit with anybody (promoters , attenders) linked to this event. Dont misundertand me, i like it old school. I just prefer it succesful in a small club (like that one at Moog with Jeff Mills at Sonar) rather than big and boring (example that story saying Richie Hawtin was so boring in 5000 people arena full of people expecting DJs like Adam Beyer). -- Benoît.
