Can't remember anyone mentioning Jonny L's darkly evocative track, "Detroit," off his album 'Sawtooth'. Carl Craig remixed one of his earlier singles as well: "This Time," on XL, wasn't it? L is one of the select few who could be mentioned in the same breath as Photek, IMHO, though he seems to have dropped off a bit during the last few years.
Kraftwerk live the other night were devastatingly powerful. Slater finished his set with some of that overwhelmingly stringladen FSOL stuff off 'Lifeforms' (though there could have been some Orb in there as well). Then it was all on, non-stop, the 4 greying, grey-clad laptoppers pumping out the classics: "Numbers," "Pocket Calculator," the new UR/Rolando re/remix of "Expo 2000," "Neon Lights," "Autobahn," "TEE," "Radioactivity" etc. all the way through to "Musique..." as an encore. Best track was probably "Tour de France" though there really wasn't a weak moment bar the fact they left out "Computer Love" :-( Superb visuals.... clinical perfection all round, and defiantly uncompromising (in contrast to the crowd-pleasing antics of Underworld, who followed.) Best moment: getting caught up, with 5000 others, in the irresistible electro funkiness of "Expo" as the "Detroit...Germany: Soul Electric" refrain filled the pavilion.
