Richard -
Glad you enjoyed it - I felt the same as you did about Fatboy, was
disappointed at Freq Nasty (I dont have his album), but heard a great
little crew Digidub at the Firestarter tent. I can add: Luke Slater
- awesome techno in its purest sense, Laurent Garnier with a sax
player at the beginning of his set in dreamy jazz house and Vadims
old skool knowledge test with Kela and the breakdancers was large for
me....only sad i missed the roots day :(
quoted 42 lines Wow; a great day!
>Wow; a great day!

>Highlights:
> * Coldcut: the best I've ever seen them live; VJamm'd versions of More
> Beats & Pieces, Timber, Natural Rhythm, Panopticon, Atomic Moog 2000,
> the Extreme Possibilities section from JDJ, and a couple of other tracks
> I didn't recognise.
> * The weather: neither baking hot nor pissing with rain.
> * The Herbalizer: band with 4-piece string section playing great stuff
> * Indian Rope Man: band + sitar = fat sounds -- the first thing I saw, so
> it made a good impression
>
>Lowlights:
> * Fatboy Slim: the 45 minutes [at the start of his 2-hour set] seemed to
> consist of about 80% crowdpleasing tunes that didn't do anything for
> me -- and I like him; too safe compared with Coldcut, who were playing
> at the same time
> * Bentley Rhythm Ace: big, soupy sound from which the occasional fragment
> emerged of melodies I recognised
> * Taking 2 hours to get out of the car park afterwards :-(
> * No rappers with The Herbalizer
> * Kid Koala playing on Sunday & not Saturday :-(
>
>Also checked out parts of the sets of DJ Vadim, DJ Scissorkicks, Freq Nasty,
>Midfield General, Subtropic, Cakeboy, Les R(h)ythmes Digitales: all more or
>less excellent.

>Lots of DJing going on, and I was surprised not to hear people playing more
>of their own released tracks: eg Scissorkicks, Subtropic & Freq Nasty
>didn't play anything I knew from the album each I've got of their stuff.
