It was good, but no where near as good as his set at last year's Rephlex party. It was great to hear a set from him again, he played, unlike usual, alot of his own stuff: Garden of Limiri 54 Cymru Beats and a few more tracksw off of drukQs he started out with some noise that was good. Although the majority of his set was similar stuff he really fucking got great towards the end, jungle and made drill n' bass, he is still amazing. |

probably Squarepusher for me. The other time i saw a proper live show his equipment failed. Clayfighter got bored with both sets. Squarepusher played: Dimontone Co. Anstromn Feck 4 Chin Hippy (an extended version) Steinbolt Tetra-Sync Come on My Selector A Journey to Reedham The rest was amazing bass improvisation |

In the very centre of that photo (the one with keyfumbler arrowed on it) is me, looking straight at the camera, just above the guy with the light yellow shirt. |

haha !!! fantastic !! I probably saw you round somewhere ! Jayne and I got chased by that alien dude when we were tripping |

you look quite young in the picture |

I am quite young. Hence reinforcing the popular saying 'the camera never lies', and also 'what you see is what you get'. |

God look at that bastard. Put out a record already. |

i slept for 15 hours yesterday, glade proper knackered me. didn't get to meet many xlt peeps unfortunately - was catching up with people from uni i hadn't seen in ages thurs/fri, then my phone died on the saturday and i couldn't remember where p0g0's tent was :( plaid were awesome (would've been better suited to an outdoor stage though), squarepusher i thought was so-so. some bits - like the drum solo played on bass guitar - were absolutely amazing, but so much was just self-indulgent guitar noodling, directionless and oblivious of its audience. and why did he have to hide behind his laptop when he was playing guitar? why are electronica artists so performance shy?! i missed afx cos i was fucked, tripping out in the solar chill UV-lit mushroom garden for 2 hours. haha shit happens. |

Hayyyy!!! Where to start? Murray... sound fucking fellow altogether. He told me i'd enjoy squarepusher and i certainly bloody did that. I was off me face on mushrooms as was Ems, my ex, who basically had a friggin 20 minute orgasm during his set... i'm not kidding.... She fucking bawled her eyes out afterwards too. The sight of AFX serenely twiddling knobs and toking up topped it all off for her and we ended up collapsed in our tents embraced in a swirl of shroom-filled tender togetherness. Yes! pOgO and Clayfighter were a right laugh. Clay... you are one tough cookie and i can't wait to see yer little movie. pOgO freaked everyone with her black tongue, no voice and freaky bear-mask - she also looked positively silver at nightime. We escaped from her weirdness with Tom (forget his xlt name) to the mushroom field where somebody was giving out some amazing potions called "Chi". I don't know what was in that stuff but, christ, it got the blood going no-end and again meself and Ems couldn't keep our hands offf each other. Score! |

Ceephax was off the wall acid craziness. Musically it was a bit too acidty for me but he was having a good laugh and the atmosphere was great for 1pm. Mu-ziq was absolutely banging and you wanna see his kid dance to the music. with the rest of the crowd... fucking incredible Cylob: Wasn't crazy bout his laptop stuff, prefering his DJing but it had some nice bits n pieces in there with a few old tracks (no "Diof" though) DJ Ned.. was definely the glue that held the Warp boys togther. He plays absolutely amazing music. Defo check out his warpmix at warprecords.com The Egg: never heard them but they were definitely the happiest, blissed out artists there. I was personally there for the darker stuff but is was lovely to see a band that played really upbeat summer music. Recomended! Squarepusher: 100% fucking magic. Every bit of his set dripped with quality energy. I knew what to expect from hearing the Tokyo set but really, when you're there, he totally takes you on a journey. The lighshow was sooo goood too. The amount of times we found ourselves completely engulfed in mist and white light, about to be sonically probed by his alien bassship! Truley a master. AFX: I was pretty fukded during this set so can't remember much. Ems recognised loads of drukqs and SAW stuff but i was totally tripping at this stage so .... but it 2was really subtle stuff and got nice n heavy near the end. The visiuals were nice and dark and twisted too. Mira Calix: A gorgeous DJ set with autechre and BoC tunes mixed the Mira Calix way. Beautifull. Ems was queuing for the showers during this, she would have loved it. |

haha glad you got some ex-gf joy, mushroom-induced as it was. shame we didn't get to meet up but we were probably wobbling around next to each other in the warp tent at some point, fucked on our respective drugs :) didn't you think the squarepusher set was a little self-indulgent? looking around at some points everyone looked so bored, waiting for his bass wigout to end so we could all get back to the more important business of raving it up. |

and how awesome was the solar chill garden? those little amsterdam coffee shop style tables for rolling on, and all the lights and candles and shit... magic. on the friday night, did you notice the guy tripping his arse off by the massive projection screen thing? first he was just walking up and rubbing his face in it, then he lay on the ground motionless looking up for about 3 hours whilst it flapped over his face in the wind. |
||||||||

nah...every second of squarepusher blew me away. I was taken in by the whole experience....... remember "cmon my selector"? the way he strecthed it out with the live bass... class. we discovered the solar chill on the sunday night so all the music had stopped but the bongos had come out... it was one of the most amazing amospheres ever i thought, a real sesorary feast - everyone was soo goddamn nice that night. i actually rubbed my face on that screen for a while too. The worst was at one point back in my tent, i got cought in a sort of memory loop with exptreme feelings of being mentally trapped for ages. it was kind of cool but scarey except for Ems talking m out of it. fucking mex's! |

haha black toung =op You must have been off it cause it was blue !!! I remember bumping into you and em in squarepusher and you were both really wide eyed ! (Told you mushrooms wsere a good idea ;oD) Those mushrooms are on sale all over swansea so I'm sure they're grown round here somewhere. You should come over and we'll go camping down the beach and trip =o) Glad you like the solar stage too ! I didn;t see you after you went trekkin off went there tripping with murray and had a RIGHT laff ! I was well gutted that we didn;t get to spend much time with him after that night |
||||||||

|
|
it was the friendly, inviting atmosphere of solar chill that made me miss aphex. cunts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah you told me about that but I don't remember him. I was def there on fri though I remember Jayne was fixated by the visuals and couldent look away, so I pointed out how it looked like we were being born then we just went off into a fit of giggles |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, i gotta find someone who'd be willing to come along next year. this really sounds like fun :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah everyone has to go next year it was the best festival I've ever been to EVER ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh.. i woulda liked to have hung aroound with you folks more. There was just so many distractions though, form the stars above to the bleedin baldes of grass! Solar made ya miss aphex Vletr? I can see why! I never knew of the psy-tracce scene before. Twas really colourfull and shit but not my thing in the end. It seems to have been really popular with everyone we met though..... friendly feckers! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I know what you mean Jayne dragged me off to see Hallucinogen, and I had taken a pill so I quite enjoyed it =oD Did we ever introduce you to brotherculture?! This rasta dude that was performing on the liquid stage kinda tagged along |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm gonna go next year, as well as dedbeat and ATP. Obst und gemuse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should You would have loved it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which is better, dedbeat or ATP? in the horse's opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's hard to say really, because ATP is so different every year... but out of what I've been to, atp2003 and dedbeat 2004, I'd say that atp is the best. They are both sweet as though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I may go to ATP next year too. Seems like fun =o) Plus you don;t have to worry about dragging a tent around with you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ATP is less colourfull i think. I mean, Glade is supposed to be billed as a summer festical and it had all the ingredients. The concreteness of ATP makes it less summery i reckon, although musically it depends on yer tastes. ATP was top-dog last year although i would prefer to see the same lineup at a Glade-type festival. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Jayne's been to pretty much all the festivals this year, and she recons that the glade was the best ever |
||||||||
|

SSshhhit Keyfumbler I was right behind you and your crazy ex at Squarepusher... she had a green shirt on I think and dark hair, she kept looking at you and doing the most extravagant A-OK hand gestures I've ever seen. And crying and smiling and screaming into the sky. I was half-expecting her to ascend to heaven. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I walked right past you then !!! I had a yellow top on and I think at that time I had glowing ivy painted on my arms ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was her she ascended later on, my good man! she actually freaked me out a little - i actually thought she'd collapse or something. The music surged through her like electricity. She went and bought MIRON, FMWT and UV the next day! Wait'll she hears the live stuf i have - I'll need to bring some straps and something for her to bite down on! (*steady) |

amen brother |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
pOgO... .. how <>is the voice now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
getting there still a bit husky though, with the occasional squeek |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Job well done then :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I was a little concerned for her, I've not seen shroom trips look like that before... I noticed her putting some eyedrops in I think, and somehow concluded that it was some kind of wonder drug which you absorb through your eyes. hohohaha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thems her contact eyedrops i'mn afraid!...... . yeh.. plenty of peeps were concerend around us.... she was overcome but not quite gone. When we moved towards AFX, a gal epilepsied for 20 secs in front of us then jumped up 100% fine. I later got trapped into a shroom mindloop for ages. And we both got the serious giggles back at basecamp! Top notch! |
