really weird item here but i'll be going for sure. anyone ever been to the belly up?

I've never had a reason to go (it's usually hiphop shows) but i might make the journey for this. I know a few people that might motivate me to try at least.

BT Performing This Binary Universe: Website
Audio Video


BT's will perform his newest release, This Binary Universe. TBU
is a groundbreaking two-disc CD /DVD that fuses seven unique
tracks composed in 5.1-channel surround sound with stunning
animations by some of today's finest computer artists and
animators. The tour will feature BT and two other notable
musicians, Ben Grossman and Brian Trifon, who will be playing
hand-built, found-sound and circuit bent instruments. Some unique
instrumental highlights include: a lap dulcimer, which BT has
modified to be played with a bow, a circuit bent children's toy
megaphone; classical guitar played through newly developed
stutter edit software by BT, and a 14th century instrument (Ville
a Rue). BT recently performed this show at the Hollywood Bowl.

Went to see BT at the Belly up and had no idea it was going to be a sleepy-tripped out set. It was definitely not your night out to enjoy the trance that I've known him for. The live music was soo mellow and chill, you needed to be stoned off your ass or on mushrooms to enjoy it. Yawns everywhere, except for all the people drugged up and mesmorized. I think he had about 10 fans there, and the rest were just belly up randoms who had no idea.

i went to the LA screening of the film and i was blown away.

you either can take the chill or you can't.

thanks for the honest review though.

i think the album is the most involved sewn together masterpeice i have heard in a long time

So "BT's will perform his newest release, This Binary Universe" wasn't warning enough for you it wasn't going to be a "club kids on E" event? Damn.

That's like seeing a movie trailer for a horror movie, then going in and saying "Holy crap, what's with all the blood and gore?"

the night was amazing.


personal review:

thomas dolby - sorry guys but i'm not old enough to appreciate this kind of sound. i knew what he was doing and i appreciate his originality but the cheesey 80's synth pop wasn't winning me over. HOWEVER, there was a good 100+ person crowd who was there strictly for him.

bt - i went there knowing full well what to expect. BTU is an amazing album and i can appreciate the experiment he did with it. he played everything from rhodes piano to electric vioilin. he even played an acoustic vers of satellite at the end on guitar. very cool. nonetheless, bt is defiently still the pioneer that he was 10 yrs ago and his synth programming is insane.

i'm off to bed but what a cool night, highly recommend if you can appreciate BTU
