Best Live IDM gig ever?

it was yeah, his set got the day started really well.

i didn't think this years was as good, i felt the venues
were far too large for the crowds. last years were a much
better size. the atmosphere was lacking this year even
though the music was generally better (lacking rdj though).
the venues weren't rammed enough at times because everyone
was off getting wasted. i'll still go to ded 4 tho.

hmm, i dont agree, the first two years it was too crowded in
my opinion. a lot of people got stuck in queues to get in to
the pulse ranks and missed people they wanted to see. this
time there werent any such problems, and i liked having the
seated bit in the pulse ranks to chill out. i thought the
atmosphere was just as good. its quite an endurance contest
though dedbeat, its only for the strong!

fair enough. i missed plaid because of the queue to get in
and i ended up virtually chewing my tongue off to dillinja
instead.
at times this year like when andy weatherall, hellfish,
keith tenniswood and dj stingray were really ripping it up
there was just too much room on the dancefloor. its a small
gripe, but you have to admit the 24 hour bar was great!
i was annoyed that thet closed that bar early this year -
but that was because no-one was in there it meant cristian
vogel got taken off which was a shame.

it is an endurance - i was fucked after it and then had a
massive drive home (not as far as glasgow though)

yeah, you are right in a way, there was too much space
sometimes, it tended to be towards the end of the night when
the weak had given up and gone to bed :) this kind of music
does need enclosed little rooms, for me it was just about
right though.

the slump ranks was way better this year, a huge improvement
imo, didnt realise it closed early to be honest, must've
been elsewhere.

had a savage journey back. me and my mate took some acid on
the sunday night and stumbled round some of the parties, we
then went to the beach to watch the sun rise. ended up
having no sleep. had to travel back to suffolk where my
mates live, weirded out there for a day then had to fly up
to glasgow. i wasnt right for a week afterwards! as i said
before, roll on dedbeat 4!

Untrue they are two different people.
I was at the lighthouse and it was indescribably
indescribable. AFX's Surprise set at glastonbury last year
was top dollar. Being a bit older the first time is always
the best Thekla, Bristol. 1994. It was all a bit more
radical then when people said 'aphex who,what?' 'That's not
music, turn that sh*t off E.T.C' '

warp lighthouse bogdan for me too.

dindnt catch much of rdj's set and no glimpse of bjork
either. I was just behaving like a kid in a candystore...

second place must be for phonem and sachico m (the latter
because of the weird atmosphere)

i went to warp lighthouse and i enjoyed most of the stuff i
saw. AFX annoyed me and i have to agree the organising was
terrible.

The Warp 10 yr anniversary was also badly organised but i
loved Autechre set on the last night.

Chris Clark recently played in Brum and that was cool. shame
i couldnt say the same about Mira Calix but im not a big fan
of her stuff.

Funksturong played a fantastic set in Brum and Brothomstates
(Mr Nikko!) also played a blinder. Team Doyobi as well -
fantastic to watch/listen live.

Have i mentioned Plaid ? saw them about a dozen times now
and im not bored as yet.

Orbital are fantastic live and im not saying that for the
obvious reasons. HIA were also good live but its been a
while since they were on the live scene in the UK.

hmm...i think thats it :)
