lol damn !!! Icon_eek
absolute shite.
i saw him and gridlock in the same night, and i liked his set better then gridlocks, but it was by no means what i wanted to hear from photek
take some tomatos and let him know that people on SC aren't happy Teef
I say go and listen objectively, forget the past, see if he is enjoying himself and see if he is intertaining the crowd. maybe he will surprize you. Personally I saw him in new york just when he about to start this whole thug'n'bass thing and i was looking for the old photek. I was very closed minded and waited for that sound all night, ruined my night, but on the other hand I had new respect for the man for doing what ever he felt like doing and for whatever his reasons where. I saw the old photek sound clearer than ever, so he did do me the favor of helping me understand what an artist is, which is basically a person who expreses themselves. I just don't like what he expresses now. I like that the old tunes are unrepeatable, im into innovation and theres plenty of it out there.

Thanks for being the voice of reason on here.

I get slagged off & abused by the young uns on here whenever I try to play devils advocate.

you have a good point egres but just hearing this thug and bass thing kinda makes me not want to even give it a chance especialy when it costs 15 dollars seams like i russled up a decent convo outa a few peeps though well maybe i will sit at home and just play a bunch of his old decent tunes sounds like a decent idea and cheaper!!!!

Yeah.. if his thug 'n bass shit is all about expressing himself, how did he become so shallow over the years? It's like Genesis all over again. I wonder if it's really him being an artist or a money grubbing whore.

Bach and Beethoven used to make increasingly interesting music throughout their lifetime... Smile
