Just a quick report on Jeff Mills /
of atmospherics. Robot Replica makes a lot more sense now.

Yeah Ian, there was myself, Rob, Anya, Ken and a few others.
I really enjoyed Radioboy's set, very dynamic and all, but I

Hi,
got to agree it was a brilliant night. It was great to hear the Metropolis
soundtrack in context, and just to see the film for the first time - very
impressive for a 1926 vintage film, definitely ahead of it's time. It was
good to see all of the usual UK 313 suspects (hi Nick, Alice, Anya
I made it along as well. Herbert was definatly fun. he did a similar thing at
the Big Chill Festival, but also had a female vocalist and was playing live
keyboards over the top of his on the fly sampling shinanigans. The best thing
for me though was the man himself, jerking around like some mad

I didn't really dig what I heard at the end. The screening of Metropolis
was
what to make of his dj set afterwards. on one level it kicked, but on
another i found to be a bit samey - other than Jupiter Jazz
it was an
hour's worth of hardish techno. a bit more variety would've
been good
I quite enjoyed it - packed full of mills/UR classics - The Bells, Changes
the whole
thing!

DVD release would
be great !
I doubt if there will be a DVD release of the Mills cut of Metropolis. The

No, Vogel was working working what looked like some fairly ancient equipment
and even did a bit of singing at one point to add some bass to Lidells vocals.

Erm, it's from 1920s Germany! I've never seen It's A Wonderful
Life, but I
don't think there's any moment of comparable moment of lucidity in
Metropolis in any case: no matter what Lang was trying to say, I can't
not have understood the concept of shutting up for more than 15
minutes at a time..!

I'd agree with the Super_Collider comments. It looked like an A-Level Art
performance. Everybody seems to be raving about their new LP though.

I dunno, I've seen it 3 or 4 times over the years. It's as much a fairy
tale as Snow White; it's as far from naturalistic as
who the hell are all these people? since when has london had hordes of beer
swilling mills fans.?
Hallo... Maybe you guys have never met Rob Webb ?!?;)
