2 rad 4 me.
Don’t know of either of these musicians, but I like what they do here.
Nest time they can skip the cutaways, though.
It’s pretty cool that a modular performer has made it to a mainstage like this… even if it is the most generic sounding techno ever.
Please enlighten us with non-generic techno
Roland and co. must be lovin this. btw, did she ever even touch the Novation gear?
I’m a longtime Surgeon fan and this was epic, I bet it made a few Gaga fans throw up.
I seen surgeon playing live in Edinburgh a few times. His sets were the bollocks. Anti trance pro noise kinda stuff always did it for me.
Hmmm how can a genre be “anti” another genre? So he played no trance and no noise?
I bailed out after 4 minutes. Nothing was really going on musically. Why is Surgeon doing this kind of thing?
My thoughts exactly. He really doesn’t NEED to but I can imagine the money was hard to resist. Producer of great depth, going back to his brutal 90s singles. Really strange to see this.
That was for shallow minds. Bailed out once I saw she was wearing his costume. And surprisingly, i seem to have heard that beat before! Even my vacuum cleaner found the music boring.
You people are so boring
It was nice to see him wearing a Coil shirt in front of Lady Gaga fans at least. The music was very generic, however.
I honestly don’t digest the fact that he used a Coil album title for this (shit). Even more on a lady gaga stage.
There should be some sort of etiquette regarding post that complain about not liking some kind of music or performance. You should have to post something you like so we can all laugh and wonder what you are doing here.
Oooh, a video of something that isn’t my cup of tea? As a random person with absolutely no relationship to the other readers and commenters, I must log in and say it’s bad, or the people who don’t know I exist will think I’m uncool.
It starts to get interesting around 25mins in. I bet the Gaga fans were completely confused.
If “constant shallowness leads to evil”, then this music is the voice of Satan.
I’d be a big fan if there was something more between bland techno/dance and 64th-note wannabe-prog soloing. “You people” aren’t finding an original voice very often. I’m not auto-impressed simply because a person uses Live or some NI gizmo with a limited half-life. You’re letting the tools tell YOU what to play. The worst thing is not a blatantly bad performance. Its the overly simplistic stuff, where everyone nods their heads to the beat and grins like its the nectar of the gods. Giving $#@! Daft Punk a Grammy was like giving Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize. Alice, how you guess me am Bizarro #1 and why Boy George play princess in Star Wars thing? 😛
You should lay off huffing gas
Live electronic dance music, performed on analog gear, to a huge enthusiastic crowd? Certainly there are better targets for your get-off-my-lawnism.
Just because a crowd is behind a thing doesn’t automatically make it worthwhile. As Bill Hicks once said, “Since when did banality and mediocrity become a good image for your children?” Simple can be good, but excessive simplicity leads to, um, shallowness and evil. The fire in your belly should generate more heat than a mere aromatherapy candle. If I heard just a little more personal fire, a little more often, I’d be less prone to feel like most new pieces are missing three or four tracks. Its not fleshed-out. Watching a skeleton do a stripper pole routine is… not right. 😀
Cool story, bro’
Best comment on the whole website
Ummm….yeah. Pretty generic sounding.
I don’t get it…
Who here needs to defend these guys who perform & buy satin outfits off Satin? Those who live in fear & make similarly uninspired ‘music’? As tedious techno is all some souls know. Limited and disadvantaged as they are, these poor kids, unable to travel the world: To listen to rhythm and rhyme beyond 4/4. As it would take more courage than they have known, to leave the herd: To travel alone. To sit on a mountain getting high. To enter into a tribal village in India or Africa, etc, Listening to true soul, & the evolution of sound; through humanity’s journey in unwritten time! A journey beyond weak scripted hate & trolling. Although I imagine there might be some haters who want to express their limited vocabulary (spiritually). On these hallowed pages? 😎
