This is pretty much the faultiest part of your post. The rest follows naturally from that assumption, which I don't think is true at all.

Pretty mighty, eh?
I had this set for at least 2 years before I actually saw him play live (Turbo with Sven - kind of a crap set in my mind from what I can remember), and it set the bar so high that my expectations haven't fully been met by him because of it. I liked his Mysteryland 2006 (I think it's 2006) set as well which is nice and trippy with lots of rolling basslines. His best live set for me was Piknik Electronik with Ricardo in Montreal a few years back.
When he goes too experimental or minimal he starts to lose my interest.
The website has a video of the Contakt event from Sonar...looks amazing.
Still waiting for them to reschedule the Montreal Event I was going to.

Same.
It's all just dance music. Let's not take it too seriously folks!

Theres a time / place for the really minimal/experimental stuff, and it isn't always on the dance floor. What may make for some great home-listening / spaced out beats / after-party music can make for one hell of a boring moment on the dance floor.
Then again - when moments like that are pulled off well - it can be pretty stellar. But, those moments still tend to have a bass/beat to keep it pulled together. Going into a 12 min beatless/bassless interlude just gets people moving to the bar instead of on the dance floor.
I like it when there is a good balance. Like Richie vs Ricardo at Mutek, when he starts playing False - Fed on Youth, leads into that track with the girl vocal that is just really spaced out - almost like a lullaby, then proceeds into about 30 mins of the best set I've ever heard live - even listening to the set now I get chills.

did you only just find out about him recently or something? He's been huge in europe for over decade. lol
Isn't he from Windsor? ....or Sandwich??

Born in England, spent most of his childhood / youth in Windsor, recently(ish) relocated to Berlin.
He started to make a name for himself when he was in Windsor. The Slices DVD documentary on him is a pretty interesting watch - see if you can find it a torrent or something.

Was a rhetorical question
Have met and chatted with Richie many times in Windsor:p

I can't stop watching this video! The crowd looks totally bored because of this awful cheesey 80's track Richie is playing, and then out of nowhere he drops spastik on them! <3 <3
