The Conference - A view from the edge...
"Wow. As I reach this stage in the writing, I feel remarkably as weary as I did by this stage in the original proceedings - I can almost not write. Thank f*ck, then, for David Hughes Software, whose dazzling set of post-pop revisionist sheens came off like a tribute act to Tomita and Jean Michel Jarre. Wow! All those synths, and he can really play them! Don't not watch this on MFB, for pity's sake, it's fab.
There was the inevitable speculation that it was part of some elaborate practical joke by Colonel Rawls - either that, or a payback in one of Major Valchek's ongoing personal beefs (still on Season Two, obviously) with Frank Sebotka. Certainly, the dead reception from the floor had the same effect. Except for me and No Wind - we were ecstatic! And not necessarily from a puerile sarcasm that the misguided my attribute to us - David Hughes's orgiastic pentatonic glossings were such a poignantly brutal counterpoint to any collective ground those gathered might feel they had won over the conference, that one suspected it was motivated by fear mongering on the part of the organisers: relinquish the restraint and sobriety of a rational improv orthodoxy and you might be condemned to an eternal massage in synth-pad purgatory."
