Wish I could have been in Barcelona for Sonar last week - "Mad" Mike Banks and Jeff Mills reunited to present for the first time ever a live version of their "militant", "pioneering" and "advanced," fifteen year old, long defunkt X-102 project. This totally one off show saw them present a new version of their classic album "X-102 - Discovers The Rings Of Saturn" (which was created with Robert Hood). The multimedia presentation also included the latest images of Saturn, obtained by the unmanned Cassini-Huygens space mission. Here's some crappy low res BS you tube video because there doesn't seem to be anything else out there coverage wise. It's shocking really, legendary event and no documentation ?? What is it with the world we live in ? Why is Black electronic music not taken as seriously as other forms of music ? I should be able to google this event and find more than this ... and while we are on the subject why isn't this kind of thing booked here in America where the music was birthed, grown and inspired ? After 20 years of living in America it is still shocking to me that the best and bravest American talent has to get on a plane to be appreciated.
