Live-wise: Hanna's set was quite enjoyable but his bass guitar didn't sound quite right within the mix.
Larry Heard, joined by Jerry the Cat and Norma Jean Bell (I fear I'm forgetting someone here), was in and out under 20 minutes. Though Heard was in a good mood, it sounded from roughly 100' away as if he was playing in another room entirely. Too bad. Aside from the intro bit, KDJ's set was all-new to me. A couple references were made to "Pitch Black City," so maybe that's the name under which the songs will appear? I suppose you could call most of the songs ribald -- very slinky and steamy, not exactly intended for the dancefloor. From what I recall, it was all slow to mid-tempo. Something tells me he's been listening to lots of 1999 and Dirty Mind lately. Andrés played percussion; a gent whose name I didn't catch played keyboards; NJB played some sax; and an interpretive dancer of sorts played KDJ's uhmmmm instrument (she spent the remainder of the set beneath a bed sheet). His set concluded with Heard on stage for "Distant Planet."
