Check out Faithless. They make beautiful music.

pretty cool lineup! Saw the Prodigy back in the day and they were amazing. have seen moby and Paul van Dyk several times too. Bloc Party? I love those dudes! they kinda stick out like a sore thumb on that bill though. are they the only 'band' on that bill? They aren't very techno but kick ass none the less.

PVD is the only person that can pull off a 4+ hour set properly.

Infected mushroom is horrific music these days…more like some kind of hybrid electronic metal cheese pop than the amazing psytrance they used to make. I remember seeing them outdoors in the mountains in Gifu, Japan, at 7 AM in front of a dancefloor of 8,000 Japanese freaks…ahhh those were the golden days of IM. Their music used to give me goosebumps. Now I cringe anytime I hear Duvdev singing in that grotesquely comical accent of his. Live guitars and singing do not belong in trance.

But on a separate note, I am really glad that huge concerts are still going to happen with the economy where its at...because I was getting worried that RTB 09 might not happen

used to be heavy into the rave scene...I've progressed into triphop/chill now...Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, Tricky, Frou Frou, Sia, Hotel Costes...no desire to ever go to a rave again.

I reallllly wanted to go see Thievery Corp in San Francisco for New Years, though...bummer I missed that one.

Have you heard Portisheads new album? If so what do you think?

I've been wanting to go up to San Francisco for Love Parade but never had the chance. My bro went and said it was fun.

The electronic scene is still alive here in LA and San Diego. Giant has two large clubs down here and Vanguard pulled in Z-Trip a few weeks back.

sia? i don't ever remember her being triphop/chill. she's definitely adult contemporary and more in the vein of artists like k.t. tunstall, fiest, and suznanne vega to a certain degree. never would have classified her as triphop or chill though.
