i saw sasha in bombay about a month ago now, and it was sick, and after spending time with him after his gig, i cannot conclude he has his head up his arse, he was a pretty chill character, stayed after with us for a couple hours after he finished his gig.

sick show.

he wasn't last week. I feel ripped off.

the thing is, az is right and it's all you yanks that are absolutely clueless. i've seen sasha, on average, every 3 months for the last 2 years (and 3 times in 2005) and can definitely conclude he's gone downhill with this ableton thing. his sets are nowhere near as good as they used to be, and neither is his mixing

Umm, PvD uses Final Scratch, not Ableton.

his old sets are way better, sure ableton is a nice tool but trying to do so much with a track is not what the crowd goes to see him for.sasha was about deep progressive with some bigger tunes mixed in... gatecrasher NYE 2000 is a good example...

what?
there's some pictures somewhere of Sasha's ableton set up, there's absolutely no reason for him to be using it, he's not even nearly pushing it to his limits, he's using it because it allows him to be lazy and put no effort into his sets.
someone find the picture comparing sasha's ableton setup, and ritchie hawtins, and you'll see what I mean

It's like trying to tell them that they didn't win the civil war in botswana, no matter how much everyone knows you're right, they won't listen.

As for the irish dude bitching at Az, well believe me, read his posts on people like tiesto & pvd in the last 2 years, it's not as if he's using them in hero-worship terms, he's just showing how lazy all have become since they can make big money virtually anywhere worldwide on name alone.
