I really enjoyed Radioboy's set, very dynamic and all, but I think one

get a bit tired of him
destroying stuff all the time. Thankfully he's no one-trick pony. Missed
most of Super_Collider, but
I didn't really dig what I heard at the end. The screening of "Metropolis"
was v.good. In order to appreciate
the CD, I think you have to watch the film with the music. I enjoyed it
thoroughly, and it posed
the question of how tough it must have been to create a soundtrack that
didn't get too "Vangelis-like", i.e
just lots of atmospherics. "Robot Replica" makes a lot more sense now.
spot on Toby, i thought Metropolis was excellent too - Mills' soundtrack
matches the flow and mood of the film really well. it's difficult to know
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, but
then again would the crowd've been into that? it's like the DE9 cds... i
find myself uncontrolably bobbing along to the music, even tho it's also
kinda boring. guess that's the 4/4 for you. hmmm.
as for Matthew Herbert - imho he puts on a great show, but as far as the
music's concerned i'd rather hear a Herbert set than a Radioboy one.
i quite enjoyed Super_Collider, and it looked like they were into it
themselves. as Marc said their performance used some v.creative visuals,
and the tracks themselves were pretty cool - loads of heavy funky bass. i
wasn't too impressed by their first lp, so it'll be interesting to hear how
the new one sounds.
