  1. West Coast style was purposefully antithetical to the ‘switched on Bach’ type rubbish when it came out – weird (un-ironic) turn of events!

  2. I love electronic music, including but not limited to renditions of the music of Bach. I dislike subcultures obsessed with their own limited ways to use a synthesizer. East coast versus West coast? Bah! I enjoyed some of this performance a LOT, some, er, not so much. But I suspect that Furman’s synth-programming chops are much better than mine, so I’ve got some work to do.
