The Ninja Tune DJ's were astonishingly good. Mixmaster Morris is
a genius on the decks, and anyway is it really that important?

Have you ever been to a Big Chill b4? They've been playing jungle for ages
and ages now and lots of it too.

Global Communication have never played a live set in my experience (I've seen
them maybe 5 or 6 times) Has anyone ever seen them live? Mind you the quality
of the DJ'ing normally makes up for it, though the volume problems did
scupper them a bit at the festi)

MMM, fuckin GENIUS! Wishmountain, hilarious and funky, once again. My other
favourites - they guy in the middle of the Stealth night (Mr Sho'nuff ?),
Bukem once they fixed the sound, was inspirational, as always, and also
Another Fine Day playing live and totally chilling us out in the sun.
