definition of a party.. Sometimes i wonder if people go out with the intent of having a shit time and finding things to slag off. Do you lead a happy life or do you find everything shit? I bet you're a complete miserable bastard. .

massive overcrowding near the stage, and there was nothing to indicate a running order ANYWHERE, if there ever was, it had probably been removed by some drooling spotter, as had a lot of the direction notices on the way from the station. So what there were bottle necks - easily got past with a small amount of effort and patience.

especially after steve beckett made a point of dismissing vocoders as played out on the warp site a while back..... so vocoders are only old hat when used on another companies records eh?

As I said before WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!!! If you don't think Boc work live DONT GO TO SEE THEM LIVE

was BOC, i can only assume these people will dance to anything, given the belief that it is being performed by a "big name" (this assumption was reinforced later that night) If you dont care about "big names" but just the quality of music why does the lack of a running order bother you?

from the recorded versions. Glad you liked something.

kids with DHR t-shirts and chain wallets that still say WAZZZUP! watching the few fuckups that were actually attempting to dance was hysterical... drooling (literally) vibrating MDEA fucked morons that looked like their ambition in life was to pretend they had cerebral palsy. if only i had video camera to have filmed them, i reckon i could have put them off drugs for life.. So when people do start partying and dancing they are fuck-ups...

think.... if i'm in a minority, obviously i and my label have no place in a scene where anal, insular, music is de rigeur,and i'll be trying to find a more lighter, FUN oriented list (anyone know if electrobreaks is still around?) Well I thought Bogdans set _was_ fun as did most people around me. I enjoyed the whole affair - musically it was what I expected and what I thought most people on this list who are familiar with the artists/labels involved would expect. The only pissed off people I met were those who expected an all night techno dance party and hadn't heard of any the people playing (and taking up precious tickets from those who would have appreciated it). Maybe Warp should have dropped the rave tag or turned a room over to Weatherall/Two Lone Swordsmen for those in need of repetitive beats.
