What you are all really taking about is beatmatching, this is the only advantage Live will give you. It won't help you do good edits or program a good set, it wont help you mix tracks, jeesh enough already - this is techno we are talking about, what are you all scared of? Future music, yeah? How long does it take to learn to beatmatch - 4 weeks tops? Live is here to stay and you'll be seeing a lot more of it in techno so you'd better get use't to it.

As for watching the DJ, well that's your call and I can understand it, but some people don't express themselves like, say, Claude Young. Surge focuses on the music and to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way, his shit is hot.

There's some really luddites around, this is the same shit Kraftwerk had to listen to in 70's, except this time it isn't from ****ing hippies with guitars...
