When Underworld ends a track, and you stop dancing, and you see Rick go back to the computers to load up new loops, do you boo becuase the music has ceased to make you dance? Of course not.
I realize this is a bad example, but the fact remains that what Richie Hawtin is doing these days is evolutionary. It's not just cd's and records and a mixer. It's advanced, and it's live, and it's unique. You can dance to it, be amazed by it, or be bored by it. It's all up to you.
Rev - I think you're letting the last hour cloud your memory of the night. I will agree that he kinda fucked it all up. He kept the volume really low unnecessarily for long periods of time, looping lots of melody lines, then would suddenly bang out the bass LOUD for like an 8 count, then bring it back down. It wasn't top notch, and people were standing around for a little while, but from 3-7 every person on that dance floor was going mad.
