The New Universe Music Festival 2010… Where were you on the nights of November 20 and 21 of 2010? If your answer wasn’t, “At the Abstract Logix Music Festival,” then I guess you missed some really amazing music! But don’t despair, the kind folks at Abstract Logix recorded the shindig and it is available for you to enjoy on a two DVD set; and the quality of the sound and video recording is excellent.
