Hello from Ottawa!

  I'm curious to know if anyone has heard any information
regarding a tour by The Orb...? I've heard some mutterings
about it on the usenet group alt.rave, but nothing really
concrete, and mostly American info anyways. Dates in
Toronto or Montreal are more what I am looking for.

  Also, could somebody from Montreal perhaps put together
a short list of stores and addresses where rave music may
be bought? I am travelling to Montreal next week, and
want to spend my hard earned cash somewhat frivolously :)
[Ed Note: I think it's time i ask my system operator for some FTP space and
an alias for the list name and i'll do an automated ftp-mail server for all
these FAQs: music stores, clubs, hotlines and rave gears] 

Thanks alot!

Hi!  How's it going?

I was at the Moby rave, but I didn't see you.  I was wearing a white
t-shirt with an egg in a frying pan on it, like "This is your brain on
drugs".  I had to leave at 12:30, though (combination work + headache).
How long did it last?  I thought it was ok.  Maybe I'm getting old,
but even techno gets boring when it's soooo repetitive.  Although I
did like most of the music.  Does Moby think he's God, or something?

Anyway, gotta go - Perhaps I'll see you on Friday at La Brique  :-)

Sujet/Subject: Lots o'stuff.

Ok, so i went to the moby/prodigy show last week at Metropolis. Got there at
9:45 pm. In short it was great, but...
As a lot (and i do mean a *LOT*) of people told me, they expressed a concern
as to why 3/4 of the stuff the DJs were playing seemed to be the same thing.
The thing is that 2 were from +8 (hardcore label with groups like cybersonik
and F.U.S.E.), and another one from DNA (Tiga) who is also a lot into
hardcore. The fourth was Robert Dela Gauthier who is less centralised on one
style. As a DJ i prefer that approach. Anyway, most of the people were there
to listen to Moby or Prodigy. (Got someone who called last friday at the
station and asked why they wouldn't but anything by the Shamen... So i played
Jesus loves amerika). Anyway, at some point Cybersonik got on stage and played
for about 20 minutes. Bleedin' hardcore. Real good. Then a bit later it was
Moby's turn (in New York and Philly it was Prodigy, then Moby instead of the
inverse here). He got on stage (i wasn't sure it was him), then suddenly the
music starts and lots of lights coming from one point behind the guy.
Slowsynths... until he says: "Bonjour, mon nom est Moby!". At that moment
ah-ah starts playing and he's dancing like a madman! (BTW, i did record the
intro and friday i made a simulated live recording of ah-ah with PZM mikes).
The moby part was the best with Next is the E (with the "i feel it" vocals)

And yes, Stuart Moby not only think he's god, he really is! 8)

Last, it was prodigy. Bummer. I tought i was watching early EMF with a guy
trying to rap or something... BTW, i have Jericho live, and i recorded it
at Metropolis, and it's the same exact thing except for an error they
made at the beginning and they had to reloop the thing. The problem here is
that in studio they sound pretty good, but live they suck. And they didn't
even play some of their best songs like charly, everybody in the place or
pandemonium. Well i do have to give them credit for the fact that they were
more "live" than Moby who had a DAT for the music, and was faking on his
keyboard. But he was really using the mike. 

Stuart says: Always tell your momy before... no seriously:
"How long did it last?"

Well i dont really know. I went home at 2:30 am...

Ciao and happy raventine 8) next weekend,
