an hour and a half must be short if you're drugged...you need the orb playing for 5 hours - perhaps then you wouldn't feel cheated in the end
but as you say you can remember the performance and music was really good - good for you and your mates
any known tracks you can remember ? "come on my selector" for encore ?

I heard he's turning into the "thinking man's" Skrillex. Huge drops and poppy melodies.

i gotta be honest, it was underwhelming. the av production more than anything else, i found i was actually enjoying it more when i closed my eyes and didn't look at the screen. it seems like he just had some clips synced to the bar, but nothing more complex than that, which is really disappointing. if you're going to be making crazy synced audiovisual display and you've got mad glitches, i want to see the video going right with the music, but that really never happened - it was mostly melody based. the music actually seemed more complex when i wasn't watching the display.
also, not a hint of older songs, all new material, which is cool, but when you go to see an artist who you've been listening to for over 10 years a little familiarity is generally appreciated. and i really doubt he's actually doing anything live beyond pushing play for the next song and gratuitously asking the crowd to cheer for him some more - real hard core pandering.
so yeah, it was cool, and technically impressive, and it's always good to see a bunch of kids getting exposed to something beyond nero and skrillex. but tom jenkinson has crawled so far up his own ass that he has absolutely no connection to anyone else, including the fans watching.
soulless, utterly soulless.
oh, and of course, no live bass.

there were "drops" but nothing i would consider huge. that may be what he's going for, but if that's the case then tom j should learn how to produce some bass that actually slaps you in the face. maybe he could learn something from sonny moore? hahaha.

Yes, a person means personal. You don't need to know squarepusher or your Hiphy nonsense. It is a personal opinion. Am I wrong? Did you do a poll of the audience?

so are we only allowed to express opinions which the whole crowd agrees with?
i think you're confusing how a "personal gripe" can be a bad thing in the argument - generally, that means you're going for an "ad hominem" attack, not actually addressing any issues at hand and attacking the person at a personal level.
i didn't do that. i said squarepusher gave a shitty performance, and i pointed out some exact reasons why, none of which were related to tom jenkinson as a person.
music appreciation is all personal preference, and to try to use that fact to devalue my opinion is straight up retarded.

Exactly.
"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it.[1] Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as a logical fallacy.[2][3][4]"

Everything that I've heard sounds like Shobaleader Part 2, more advanced, more dubstep, less R&B.
So far I really like Dark Steering and the first track that he plays, the one with the techno beat.

ae do it right with lights out and no visuals of any kind. But to expect an "IDM artist" to player ANY of their older material is strange... I've never seen it done personally.

i love ae's take on shows - no lights, and fucktons of bass.
most other idm guys yeah, but to be fair last time i saw squarepusher he played red hot car, come on my selector, i think dyks and likely other older tracks im not remembering. i wasn't expecting him to be playing the old tracks tho, i just wanted to include that in the review cuz it's pretty telling of the kind of show it is.
