Freak Animal Festival 26/09/1998 VHS question...

[drunk]

I don't have the original VHS, just some shitty VCD rip of the actual video. Anyways, what I'd like to know is... where STROM.ec using laptop(s) during their set? I ask because I can't really tell by just looking at the video, but to my ears it sounds great and really oppressive.

This is a fucking great piece of violent PE footage by the way, and I DEMAND an official DVD reissue! :D

They actually used desktop computer instead of laptop.
I have that shitty rip too, but the computer can be seen when the lights flicker.

It is indeed the old fashioned real computer in action. I can even these days appreciate someone dragging on train full size monitor from other side of finland. In debut strom.ec album, I believe computer is used a lot. But not in obvious ways.

And it was a fuking heavy monitor haha! There never has been and never will be laptops in Strom gigs. And only in the first gig we had real computer on stage (going also through multieffect). Well equipment was quite a limited when we started to make songs. Distortion and contact mic. And voice.
