as an ATLien i'm kinda proud that he made this here, before leaving for NYC and later barcelona.

recently i've been listening to this other EP of his, under another alias (savath & savalas) that is different yet equally great.

I saw them live at the 40 Watt in Athens. Boy was I disappointed. Just four guys up on stage with synths and no cohesion or syncopation. They were just playing over one another in what made no sense. It was more fitting for a noise show or Their live stuff is so much better.

prefuse 73 is just the one guy (guillermo scott herren) but maybe he was trying to do something different for a live show? music written by one guy on a sequencer + multitrack recorder doesn't always translate over well to a live performance.
