Re: Electronic vs Rock music (live)
I find that live electronic gigs are much better, the people generally have a good dance around and everyone talks to each other. At some "rock" gigs i've been to, the people have been very aggresive towards each other, even if you just knock in them accidently!

I prefer live electronic stuff becuase all of the samples etc are all pre-programmed, so the perfomer can totally mix it up and fuck around with the song structure to keep the audience guessing. I.e. Underworld, The Chemical Brothers. Four Tet was ace when i saw him, he just ripped his own stuff apart!

With a lot of indie/stuff, theres no room for improvising and seeing a band more then say 3/4 times can start to get boring. Though i agree with some abbleton live performances can be shit, i'm sure Aphex Twin just pressed play [but the stuff was still incredible!]
