Elektron Musical Instruments

You?re right!
Laptop-Liveacts are only "allowed" with ambient in my opinion.
I don?t understand what?s the fun with looking where your cursor is.
And people that play from CD are not worth wasting a word.

That's putting it nicely. In my opinion, a live-act can be very interesting
and exciting... if it really IS a live act. I've seen Mike Dearborn do a
live set.. with all the neat equipment we all love. No laptops here. But..
the good man never touched any of his synths. It gets worse.. switching
from one song to another.. building up climaxes.. all without lifting a
hand.

My respect goes out to the real cowboys out there. Who ride horses in stead
of pickup trucks !
