also that writeup is so cringey. i'm a big fan of SPK but they seem to be so in love with themselves it's hard to take seriously. the fact they turned into some gay dance group and basically pissed away all of their credibility 40 years ago makes it even more embarrassing.

that being said, I am in desperate need of an original "Factory" 7" if someone has one or know someone who has one. I will pay a lot.

I'm not sure what to expect, it's just one those things where I know I'd regret not going. I agree that the legacy is tainted by later releases, but I think the later day SPK is still better than many syth pop acts from the same period. I can enjoy tracks like "Metal Dance" and "Walking On Dead Steps" even though they're a far cry from the glory days.

completely understood, i wasn't trying to say you shouldn't go or even fault you for going. i hope it's good, my expectations are just very low. please do let us know.

I'll let you know how it was. I'm quite critical towards re-unions too. Digging up old legends rarely does anyone any good. I like the Tone Generator & Body Without Organs project from Dominic Guerin, so sometimes the old guard can come up with something interesting, but this gig is Graeme Revell, so we'll see...
