how do you even perform electronic music live, it's dead boring to watch one person perform isolated synth lines to a backing track, maybe just about tolerable if it's two people but still kinda dull? pet shop boys manage to pull it off tho

hot chip perform their stuff with a full live band so it's a whole different sound but an incredible live experience

kraftwerk have made non-performance an art form but that's their thing and theirs alone tbh

@envgen reminds me of that one time ultravox tried really hard to look cool whilst performing a synth solo https://youtu.be/TtJ2qU-HTLs

(it's a really good solo tho)

@HexManiac jesus

@envgen @HexManiac its a very good dance imo. but it woulda looked much better with a mkI odyssey

@jk @HexManiac i'm surprised they broadcast that on the bbc, being that he is literally fucking that odyssey

@envgen @HexManiac people didnt know much about synthesisers back then so they probably didnt even KNOW he was fucking it! its pretty quaint to look back on now, huh
