Electronic act

[earsugar]

Who is the best electronic band that you have seen, was it the chemical brothers?, Leftfield, Underworld, Basement Jaxx, System7?

[OBonio]

Tough one that.... I've seen the Prodigy a few times and they takes some beating. Their cover of Ghost Town live at Reading one year was 'king ace. But I think the light show is very important for electronic acts of which The Orb have had me mesmerised at Glasto '92. Seen the Chems at Reading, but didn't rate the show really. I think it was too quiet and not enough strobes ;o). Would have been awesome otherwise.

My vote goes for..... The Orb.

The Orb - live at Trekoner

[earsugar]

It is a good question init, ive seen loads of bands on megadog nights like Union Jack and templehead that were amazing but didnt have the light show.

I guess dreadzone have to be up there, what a show they put on.

[OBonio]

Only seen them at Knebworth and were first on, so complete lack of light show there.... Still very impressive though.

Someone else I was disappointed in was Junkie XL, though I suppose he was DJing as opposed to performing his own material.

Would love to see Overseer though. Truly magic album.

Leftfield at glastonbury 2000

I have seen Chemical Brothers about 5 times but nothing beats Leftfield that year and it has nothing to do with me being off my trolley. There sound system was so loud that apparently it could be heard over fat boy slim and the pet shop boys in places.

This was without a shadow of doubt the best night of my life....

Earsugar, Im all indie and metal but these sounds of the 90s make me wanna be back dancing in a field half naked with strangers. Im off to get some neon body paint and glo sticks.

I saw eat static in july , they have just released a new album.

Put the glade festival in your diary for next year, its a 3 day electronic festival, no corporate backing, no chavs, no trouble.

If you're near Swindon on 19th October, Dreadzone are playing at the 12 Bar... I'm not sure it'll be any good though as it's a converted Pub!! Might be worth the gamble for a tenner though.

[earsugar]
