...Then it came to their dancefloor hit "Hey You (What's That Sound)." Proceeding along very much like the album version, "Hey You" was fairly warmly received initially. Then, drifting in, under the radar, under the bassline of "Hey You," came the insertion of the familiar strains of another melody. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. So the infuriatingly catchy intro to New Order's "Blue Monday" has no words. Didn't stop any of us from singing along...
...strobes were going crazy, the crowd was jumping, the people onstage as effervescent as could be. About the only thing lacking was audience interaction--LRD never once talked to the crowd. Two more nondescript album filler songs later, a long, long house music introduction played, lu Cont and Reynolds led the audience into double handclaps and arm wavings, before the synth chorus of "From: Disco to Disco" finally kicked...
...then it was over, all too soon. Lights went up. Blinking, the crowd members stared at each other. Encore? He'd played almost all the songs on the Darkdancer album. But the encore was not to come, nor would there be surprising covers or stuff from the first album (Liberation). It was short, sharp.

The bizarre album covers. The man himself, whose name has been debated more than the gender of Pat on Saturday Night Live. The Artist...
...pretension of the royal pain's latest album begins with a bizarre insert ranting about sheep's rights and urging everyone to "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic." The album's self-important title track is a sorry answer to the promise held out by the artist who previously claimed the year of 1999 as his own. In fact, there is little Joy Fantastic in this album. and the Artist certainly makes no effort to party like it's...oh, you know. The Artist's songwriting talent shines in the track "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold," but his megalomaniac performance...
