who was there? i was totally blown away , amazing, he hid behind one of the projectors , you could see him and his mates pissing around behind it. they took notice of myself and my mate who just sat infront of them blazing spliff , which was most fun.
did anyone bootleg it? it was really stellar , totally different to the last couple of things he has realeased , such a shame he won't release all the stuf fhe played , it was kind of ravey but not really yr standard shitty four to the flour beats at all of course.
i found it funny that the tent was half empty for aphex ... what a strange world.
anyone know when he is going to hit london again? its hell finding out harh.

chances are i was standing right next to you, sir! i was directly opposite aphex by the bar at the front for the whole set (also having a smoke, incidentally :p).
awesome. that was the best aphex set i've ever seen - he was concentrating 100% throughout. so well crafted - the progression from the clicks and blips at the beginning to full blown gabba by the end. i *really* hope someone recorded it.
squarepusher's set was ace too - i have no idea how he managed to make to hook his laptop up to his bass to make all the beats just using the guitar.
he's the fucking daddy. 'nuff said :p.
all in all, an awesome weekend.... looking forward to next year already - w00t!

well i saw him using his laptop and well it just sounded like AFX , so i doubt it was someone else's stuff. Lets just hope he releases is it eh! - when is this new release out , i've read about a 3x12" release ..
haha dude probably so , i was 'bout 5-10 metres away from RDJ the whole time , to stoned to dance. Did you see the shapes his mates were throwing?
But yeah , this really was another level , it was amongst the best aphex i've ever heard.
I was stunned by SP too , that tune when it was literally all on bass , that was done mainly with a delay pedal i think and he was just doing pick scrapes and stuff ... what a musician man , that guy was just insane , nice suit too !

did afx played anything new/different from his dnb/acid stuff he used to play/release, or it was just classic afx style but better than ever?

well i have nearly all of his stuff on vinyl and it sounded pretty new to me , to me it was kind of a mix between his acid stuff and his more trademark drill n'bass kind of thing , i mean its more simple than alot of the stuff he releases as Aphex Twin , but fuck the beats were the best i've ever heard by him , 100 fucking percent. And yeah it kind of morphed , it was like one long tune , perhaps with one break or two , if you know the boredoms , or rather v00rdoms these days , it was structured like their recent gigs somewhat. but yeah it was fucking sick , thats the best way to describe it i think! It was all pretty fast ish , between 120-60 BPM roughly ...

I really doubt there was much of his own stuff in there... a few drukqs tracks appeared in various forms and the set was excellent, although the first 20 minutes were a little slow I thought... the second hour was really fucking amazing though. I swear he didn't look at the crowd or anyone on the stage hardly at all, maybe I was looking at a different long-haired bearded instantly-recognisable DJ.
As for Squarepusher... as usual, a nice bit of shouting in the mic and a generally brilliant set... I have no idea how he does that drum thing with his bass. Tetra-Sync was fantastic live, and Journey To Reedham went down a treat. And I caught his empty can of Kronenberg 1664, which I don't really know what to do with.

well you should have thrown it back at him...although, that perhaps wouldn't be the best idea. he has an real attitude problem apperantly :)
NOT TO MENTION, I REALLY WANT TO HEAR THAT AFX SET.

fucking shrooms made me totally forget what afx's set was like!
firstly i spent 40 mins staring at the main stage while he was off on the side playing- so i wan't sure it was him. When we went over to where he was playing behind that psy-fish, i ended up just dancing like a nutter, meeting some other irish folks and not taking a single piece of music in. its criminal really.
