Hi Steven,

just ordered the BC live album, can't wait for it. 1 year ago I listened to a BC track and thought "that is music???" Now I am absolutely in love with your work with BC. Hopefully I could ever watch a BC gig live.

Another thing, the Insurgentes remixes I got yesterday are all so brilliant, to be honest, I am not sure if I love the original versions or the remixes more ;-))

See you in Vienna with PT, take care
