if memory serves you had one in SF in 1999...  with a live set from 
Markus Nicolai as well.  didn't you?  stop whining, it's only been 
three and half years.  :)

i don't know neil.  i hear a lot of very similar sounding music these 
days coming from laptops.  since he went more into the radio cut up 
thing I've thought that akufen sounds a lot like todd terry, but if you 
put either one of their records on the turntable I could identify the 
artist right away.  they have a sound that they've made their own.  all 
of the best music I know has this character... and very little of the 
electronic music.
