Blue Man Group - the Complex

Anyone got it? I'm just playing it through for the first time, and it's fascinating. They did a much better job on the multichannel stuff aspect than Pink Floyd's _Dark Side._ Sounds swirl and dive all over the place...

Sure do! I was turned on to this CD by Scott Faller over at the GAS. Some really nice complex passages in this recording to really put the system to the test.

If you haven't seen 'em live you should make an effort to do so also. It's an interesting evening out.

Especially in the poncho section

I've seen the Boston show three times. My daughter was basically ground zero for the jello last time. It's the fun-est theatre even I've ever attended. If Complex ever gets done live again, I'm going.

I didn't know about Exhibit13, and when I found it on the web http://www.exhibit13.com, I stared at it for a good minute before I realised what I was looking at. That's got to be one of the most powerful pieces of work I've seen, for sheer simplicitly and starkness. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out and guess what they are referring to - it's not too hard. A quick google afterwards will tell you if you're right.
