Here they are in Manchester earlier this year making music that actually fits the description Adam gave pretty well (they must have figured they HAD to be dancey in Manchester...):

They do kind of melt into the stuff you saw at this set too, but it was the same year after all, and there's plenty of rhythm leading up to it.

Mind, I love Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac through Hairway to Steven, which is four awesome albums they did in the '80s and I saw them live back then too, though it wasn't the craziest show (I just caught the wrong night from all I understand and believe).
However, they entered the '90s with piouhgd which is like the "we got bored with what we do but are still trying to do it" version of their earlier stuff, and then they did two studio albums that were obviously an attempt at cashing in on the Lollapalooza/Alternative Nation scene that had begun to embrace them and surely got played in frat houses throughout the world.
I haven't heard Weird Revolution, so I'll reserve judgment, though it would bode better if the producer had been Kid 606 rather than Kid Rock.
I do hope they make a new album that lives up to the early days without doing it again all over. I don't think that's impossible at all. I do have better expectations for the next Black Dice record though.
