- ok, now I read axel's comment aswell. the pieces are starting to come together. it takes time and practice to get a band working together and you guys met for the first time 4 hours before the show... phew. like I said about reyn's gig: respect for taking risks.

sorry if I sounded too harsh. I just think it wasn't much of a gig. even though the music didn't interest me much (it was always building up, but never seemed to go anywhere), I can still understand it.
"...express their opinions about music they don't care about to begin with"
I consider your tunes some of the best ones in rebels' chipmusicdisk #2, like you can see from my comment there :). romeo knight has made some great stuff, his old mods and the recent studio versions of old c64 tunes. the drummer was also hyped beforehand as kid wonder, so when I started watching the gig, I had a great interest towards it. so you got me wrong there.
my main problem with the gig was that the 3 musicians on stage didn't seem to have much communication, apart from "here starts the 8 minute sample, play a beat/chord" and "here stops the 8 minute sample, stop playing a beat/chord", and I felt that the elements - your compositions, guitar and drums - didn't work very well together. this is of course a typical problem of "spiced-up laptop gigs". maybe you guys are too far from each other musically, or didn't have enough time to rehearsal. also romeo knight's playing sounded a bit stiff. maybe he was nervous, I dont know. the drummer was on fire though, but I felt that he was at the wrong place.
these are the impressions I got from your gig.
I also feel that taking my old phrase out of context didn't work, as it was from a thread that was especially created just for sharing music (and it's wrong to assume, that if I like something that differs from your music, it's automaticly the only kind of music I like.) this gig is labeled as a brainstorm release and this is pouet, so what's wrong with critical feedback? there's plenty of praise here to balance it. but I admit that my previous post was bit of a cheap shot.
and btw, I'm not that fond of jazz. - isokadded on the 2008-04-17 19:23:17

- even though reyn's guitar playing left a lot to be desired (and for me the jeroen tel remix part of the gig was a real anticlimax) the audience request part was just wonderful. respect to reyn for taking risks and pulling it through in an entertaining way. it was really exciting to watch and listen to.

- good drummer, musically very thin and boring concert

- so it's the original game (levels), but with crappier graphics? I wouldn't call that a pretty smart combination.
