Anticipation is one of those words that doesn't have any really close synonyms … "expectation" has a more peremptory sense, a demanding aspect that has no part in anticipation … The Anticipationist is a connoisseur of this particular pleasure: anticipation of both the affair itself and of every discrete moment within the affair, every glance, every meeting, every kiss or embrace. The skin tingles and every nerve vibrates when the lover is in a state of anticipation.

In time, of course, anticipation becomes remembering … that's the journey we take, the distance we travel, when we fall in and out of love … but remembering doesn't give us the electric charge that we get from anticipation … remembering may give us a warm glow or merely cold comfort, but it's rarely got any of the addictive thrill of anticipating. And that, my friends, must be why we keep coming back for more … no sooner has one cup of love been drained to the dregs than we jump back in the queue, hoping to still be in time for another serving.

This Midsummer's Night show starts out with much more overt dance energy than the average BeatConscious show … dancing is, itself, another tribute to the lure of anticipation, since dancing can be thought of as sex deferred to another time -- whatever is deferred is also anticipated, of course, so you can see how these notions combine to produce a bit of thematic resonance -- there's another bit in the cover shot of Marilyn Monroe which ties in nicely to the adult content of a few of the tracks, notably the Vice Lounge confessional, the primal sensuality of the Timothy Bloom closer, and of course, the Kaizer track that lends us the title for this show.
