the daily mail should have been on the record
really wasn't into this album until hearing the from the basement version, and then it really popped when i saw them live.

>OH MY GOD THE DAILY MAIL
I listened to the basement version the other day and I don't get what the appeal is supposed to be.

Sometimes a person will hear a piece of electronic music, and they'll go, "oh, this is soulless, overproduced, artificial crap.
Then they'll hear the music in a more human context (such as the context of a live performance) and they will go "oh wait those weren't just random noises being vomited out of a computer; a person was making those sounds happen" and all of a sudden they can judge the music on its merits again.
Of course, people don't like to admit their mistakes, so instead of revising their opinion of the original album, they say the live version is just *MILES* better even though the only difference is that the live version reminds you that you're ultimately listening to humans.

Yeah but for TKOL they used Jonny's computer program and recorded themselves playing their parts and sampled them during the whole album. IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT, but your argument don't solve anything, the album sound is souless because its them sampled, computer-filtered if i may say, all of this IMO following the In Rainbows marketing campaign (not only this but also the tape and recorder sounds of the album AND Videotape lyrics/ending).
All of this makes TKOL sound over-thought album, eclectic but not electric iukwim
