this time outfitted with a synthetic drone and some nominally fitting bells.Nights

Pitchfork.Hear A Grape Dope and similar artists on this channel.Part of the fun of being a member of an audience is that you get the opportunity to become an integral element of the performance.Monsters of Rock caliber shock and awe boo campaigns.MPC) as any producers out there and, in the great tradition of drumming up anticipation prior to a tour, each have just recently released their most inspiring records to date.We showed early to see one of our favorite indie workhorses, drummer John Herndon, perform under his solo guise as A Grape Dope.Once the drummer for Champaign's Poster Children, later moving on to '90s acts like the For Carnation, Five Style and Isotope 217, and now splitting time between Tortoise, the Eternals and Prefuse 73 (more on that later) Herndon is simply the man, or rather, the machine.Perkins strength that renders microphones useless.And after spending the days playing other people's music, it only seems logical he'd break out the solo chops.Next up, Manitoba, and to say my curiosity was at fever pitch would be an understatement.Only a redefinition of the power trio could pull this off.Rush would have been proud of their countrymen.The tone was set, the bar was raised.They transformed a show into performance and, unfortunately, set the stage for a monumental disappointment as soon as Four Tet set up his laptops.At this point in the evening, after being lulled to sleep by A Grape Dope and then reanimated into attention by a cold glass of Manitoba, the last thing the boys and I needed was to go back to dreamland.Four Tet wasn't just boring...The sound was as crisp as it could be, amplified loudly over the exceptional sound system of the Bowery Ballroom.Hebden stood dutifully behind his twin Vaio lap tops chopping and remixing pieces from some his best tracks off his phenomenal new record Rounds and its equally brilliant antecedent Pause.The live versions he was constructing were seamless, intelligent and at times even beautiful.And the more he did nothing, the more I had to do something, thus heading downstairs to the basement bar for a refresher.Remember, this is an indie show.Located in the United States.That means no one will dance; they will stand locked into place, eyes transfixed to the stage, watching anything, studying everything.Of course, recreating electronic music, even music as organic as Four Tet's, in a live setting is a difficult task.The Manitoba maelstrom was a live performance really, flavored with electronic elements.The answer was about ten minutes away in the form of Prefuse 73.As he and his compatriot Rob Hall took to the stage, the air was thickened with hope and expectation.Could he resurrect the packed house from the torpor induced by Four Tet's woeful performance, or would he simply fall in line, a controller of machines, a pusher of buttons?Superball, hitting and exploding peoples' minds like an animated atom or Michael Ironside's in Scanners.He seemingly does everything right.While many will argue against the MPC's merit as an "instrument" (the same logic that disqualifies a computer or turntables), those blowhards have never seen this man play, especially in concert with Rob Hall using forward and transform scratches to create schizophrenic atmospherics and John Herndon's human metronome rhythms filling out the programmed beats.Group Doueh: Guitar Music from the Western Sahara
