I do wish I could have written about Macaroon Five and Bicameral Mind but I had to take off after the initial set. Glad to hear it went off so well. Hey Jeff

I certainly agree there would have been a different, and perhaps more lively sound if the string section had played louder or more aggressively. However, I felt the effect was rather elegiac, the strings providing a somber undertow for Nobu's keyboard work. Several people noted at the end of the night that it was one of the best El Possible concerts they'd seen, so I think it's unfortunate Brandon didn't include the other groups, Macaroon Five (from DC, featuring homemade theremins), and Bicameral Mind (from Chapel Hill), in this review.
