I don't really see the Plastikman comparisons, personally. I think Dale's taken
his own route in the Theorem material. What Plastikman elements do you hear in
it?

Actually, it was a Theorem live set - Dale doesn't DJ at all. It was a great set
- when he played "Os" it was the first time I realized just how great that track
was. I went nuts for it without even realizing what it was. I remember playing
it over & over the next day, though.
Another highlight was hearing Clark Warner drop "Mantra One" at about 4:00AM
while I was in the ambient room checking my email from one of the text terminals
they'd set up. Something about hearing that track, seeing glowing text on a
green monochrome monitor, and being in that environment really did it for me.
Cheers,
Bill
