If anyone on TA, according to Martin & Edwards, actually saw a true representation of what their "live show" is supposed to be about, it was idoru. They said the seattle show had the best visual setup of all, and they were able to play the album tracks as intended with the accompanying visuals. |
I found the visual setup of their show to be absolutely fantastic. It was nice to be able to sit up on the balcony, relax and watch some incredibly awkward videos being mixed about with each other. My only beef with their live show is that I don't think it should be billed as such. It was one CD, and more often than not the silence between the tracks was masked only by Matt using the Echo on the DJM. I would have absolutely no qualms with it if it would've been billed as a "Live Visual Performance."
The sampling is another issue entirely. I knew that it was heavily, heavily sampled from the get go. The thing is that I never paid any attention to the 'marketing' behind it, never read anything on their Myspace, website, CD case, etc. about it at all up until recently. I knew that it was sampled and thus didn't feel the need to go and make sure that they had everything credited. Knowing now that they didn't 'cite their sources,' I have to dock them an incredible amount of points here.
The Quiet Village project is great for what it is, don't get me wrong. They just need to go about promoting themselves a whole hell of a lot differently.
