An anecdote - I saw Hrvatski and Greg Davis in Middlebury VT.  I'm not 
sure how the show came about, but a few of us drove in and the rest of 
the audience was college kids who had never heard of either artist.

Hrvatski asked the crowd what they wanted to hear - someone said 'drum 
and bass'.  His response was to play some of his older stuff, not the 
drones I believe he was playing on that tour.  He did the marble madness 
track and few other more accessible bits along with the stuff he's now.  
The crowd was into it.  So I think there is a place for playing to what 
the crowd wants to hear.

Sharing a part of yourself with the audience can go hand in hand with 
the audience sharing a part of themselves with you.
