i don't find them that alike, although on second thought you
could be onto something. it's just odd to compare a band
with guitars to a guy behind a mixpult.

yes yes, they DID play live, they really did, with guitars
and stuff. I have that album somewhere. It's sort of well
produced, and actually somewhat New-Orderish (as someone
mentioned), but I'm glad they dropped "real" instruments for
mix tables!

But please, let's not have any more of this "they've never
touched a real instrument, and it shows." That was probably
true for Darren Emerson, but not for the original, or the
current, line-up.

plus let's not treat them as another bump bump bump disco
techno shit project. they're much more, or just a lot
different, than that. right ?

True enough.
I just wish they're able to release some material that'll
reach the dubnobass/STITI/BFish level again. I thought a
hundred days off was quite listenable, but only one or two
tracks really shone. Or then am I just nostalgic?

Anyway: The Everything Everything DVD belongs to anybody's
shelf.

to me it seemed either after second toughest they simply ran
out of ideas or became lazy. beaucoup fish is just a weak
imprint of the previous album. compare the track lengths &
order, and overall similarity of styles track by track and
you'll see what i'm getting at. there are a few highlights
but overall it's throwaway . and 2 months off desperately
carries on in the same.

but there are plenty of lush tracks from the time of their
'rebirth'. who doesn't like rez? everyone does

the crowd jumping like crazy after two hours gig to
"moaner", at sunrise, 4am, a jetty near the sea, big battle
ships around, a harbour. one of the greatest moments of this
year to me.

earthleakage : i'm a fanboi so i just grasp, dig and digest
what they've done so far [since dubnobass of course] . 100
days off is the first "sober" record for Karl Hyde, and
after Darren Emmerson left - so it makes me look at their
work in a different way.
