Amen. There is something missing from *most* electronic acts. But not 
all...

I think something is lost when you don't have to bang out every single 
note on stage. But there are performers that really shine on stage 
twiddling knobs over sequences. The Orb come to mind. Mixer + DJ + 
Keyboardist. Man, I've never seen anyone *play* a mixer like their mix 
master. His hands just fly around like a crazed bouncing monkey. You 
can feel the music being mixed. Live. Mistakes and all. It's one of the 
better shows I've ever been too..
