Well, I guess the question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you'd have been feeling the old stuff first time around... ;)

Another one for you: "The future is already here - it's just unevenly distributed." - William Gibson ;)

Okay, so maybe this guy is going to be around for longer than 15 minutes... This is just as good as Hyperactive, if not better:

Just what the world needs: someone else who thinks, effectively, that history ends with their birth and/or death. Yawn. Still, at least he wants to have his cake and eat it. The King is dead! Long live the King! Maybe this as-yet-undefined format is something like this: "[T]ransmedia...

Imagine it's 5am. You're a bit wasted. It's still going off, and the sun is coming up. The deejay has dropped something really massive, and then brought it back down for a couple of tunes. And then this comes in. All very nice, you think. Bit bouncy, keeping me going quite nicely. And then...

"Reactable, is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. "Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a luminous table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of...

Sounds magical. Sunlit dancefloors... only in Berlin, eh. Get the 215kbps-encoded MP3 here while stocks last :)

Verily, this list looks like it's trapped in amber. Brian Transeau, still holding in there at 73. Unbelievable. In fact, I've just learned from his Wiki entry that "he produced the score for the 2001 film Zoolander but then had his name pulled from the project." That speaks volumes...

I don't know Misty at all, but I'd imagine that, in this instance at least, that's the point. Anyhow... way to over-analyse, guys. I'll think twice before posting any more whimsy ;)

This will probably strike a few chords with people on this board:

flash wanking, live on channel 4?

Exactly that. Arrive at L'pool St, get on a pre-arranged tube train. The organisers had mini hi-fis secreted in wee suitcase, with different sets in different carriagess. BYOB. One circuit of the Circle Line. Job done.

Was it a Space Invaders thing? I went to one of their things on the Circle Line a few years ago. Class.

I listened to it yesterday, funnily enough. It's still fucking brilliant. As for guitar bands 'winning' - as if the next wave won't get bored of wall-to-wall 'indie'. As soon as it starts soundtracking lifestyle shows and christ-knows what else, it'll be game over.

They've already signed a number of deals between them - with Universal, Sony BMG, Warners etc. See BBC News article here. Big corporations seem to be learning from the mistakes that they made with Napster v 1.0, albeit very facking slowly.

I think this is the nub of the matter, and I think it's interesting that independent labels like Warp, which used to have a very distinctive label "sound", have branched out in recent years. I'd say that has to be significant in its still being around after all these years.

Personally, and I know it's deeply unfashionable, but I've always found Dawkins to be a thoroughly disagreeable little shit. I had to force myself to sit through The Root of All Evil? on Channel 4 (how he must have balked at the lawyers' insistence that they add a question mark there)...

Awesome.

Lovely, thanks! Don't suppose you know if it's available on DVD? Can't find it anywhere... More info here and here, for those who are interested.

I think Reich himself might go for option 3: Pretty interesting idea. It appeals to me on any number of levels, and is a nice two-fingers up to cultural snobbery (inverted or otherwise). And before anyone accuses me of quoting selectively, he goes on to add: "As usual, most music written will...
