And?



Does that just mean you know for a fact he's an absolute twat in person?

If so, I don't need to know him personally to know that he's an absolute cunt.

Why is he an absolute c_unt again? Did I miss another BT thread other than the missing daughter fiasco?

No, that situation was more than enough to land anyone a lifetime achievement award in cuntitude.

I also find it comical that of the last dozen times he's been booked in the Midwest, he's maybe actually shown up twice - and at least one of those times his laptop crashed, he threw a fit, and the locals were back on to close the night (probably for the best anyway).

All this, and I'm sure much more, have earned BT a permanent filing under the category "douchebag" as far as I'm concerned.

I chatted with him after a show down here and he was a nice guy. Maybe he just had a bad night.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J The BT of 1995 was out of this world. Ima is a stunning album (although a little unfocused) and he was also remixing like the devil, collaborating with Sasha... everything he touched turned to gold. Easily my favourite era from him. The BT of 1997 was still very good, and the full version of Flaming June is his masterpiece, but he started to show his capacity to swing wildly from outstanding to awful with tracks like Lullaby For Gaia and Remember, which I hated. The BT of 1999 was 50% genius (Namistai, Fibonacci Sequence) and 50% forgettable (Madskillz, others I've forgotten), and that was really when he started trying too hard to prove he could produce everything and anything from dance music to pop, rather than just making his own music. The BT of 2003 had gotten completely lost and was so busy trying to prove he was a jack-of-all-trades his music lost all identity. The only thing that remained BT in all of it was his production skills, and they had become so intrusively showy and over-done that they just harmed the music, made it soulless. The BT of 2006 was a resurrection of Biblical proportions. He came back from the brink with This Binary Universe, and was finally making his own music again. That album has a distinct identity- it has a gorgeous lullaby quality to it that transcends all the arguments about the album. I prefer the colourful, summery epic house rush of Ima but I have to admit that TBU is a better album. So... yeah. BT is an artist you judge in incarnations. He sheds his skin every few years. He's never gonna become predictable, but you have to worry every time he changes direction because he can easily step off the edge of the pier.

Are you a professional review writer or something like that? You're quite good at it.

Thanks. I write reviews for TC (see my sig), but the only pay I get is promo discs people send me, so I wouldn't call that "professional". I'm looking into becoming a music reviewer once I finish university.

If I was BT, I'd show up in the midwest only zero times out of a dozen.

As for a douche reading, I'd say his hair is amazingly douchey.

Yeah, I know about TC, I visit it every now and then.
It should be called EDM critic instead.

We are supposed to be changing to EMC, but it keeps getting delayed.

I like his older work & TBU. As far as live performance goes, he's pretty run of the mill in my book. He wasn't bad, nor was he mind blowing. The night was fairly forgettable.

Although, I did speak with him after the show up here in the Twin Cities. He was very nice to me, and stuck around to chat and sign autographs for the people that wanted them.

I think Douchebag is being a little harsh. I can see him coming off as such though, as I'm sure he has quite a big ego by now.
