He started off with Leipzig - not exactly what you'd expect as a show opener, but it worked well. From then on he played cuts from pretty much every album except for Gate. Great sound mix and an enthusiastic crowd (and apparently very Dolby-aware - hard to tell if more were there for him or for BT). Thomas' voice was in fine form. He started out with a tiny bit of shakiness during Leipzig, but he got steadily better as the show went on and was in great shape all the way to the end. Had to laugh at one part - he told a story about running some solar observation data through his synths and having most of it sound like "crap." Back when I was at 3D Realms, I hooked up online with someone out at Stanford who had converted solar oscillation data into audio. I got permission to use the stuff in a game I was working on at the time ("Prey" - the early, early, early version). If you want to hear these, go here: http://soi.stanford.edu/~sasha/SOUNDS/sounds.html They don't exactly sound like crap, but they're not exactly musical either. ^_^ - -- Lee Jackson Garland, TX - --------------------------------- Need a quick answer?
