They were questioned by the interviewer about the lack of visuals in their
show, and they said they preferred a full audio experience with no
distracting visuals. On the interviewers insistence, they threw that line
about computers being too slow for realtime graphics ae-style, in
reference to the Gantz Graf video made by Alex Rutherford.

This made me doubt seriously about my necessity to prepare visuals for
every concert. Thats why I just show my desktop now, whenever theres a
projector available.
