yep that’s a dissappointment indeed. we got a couple of gurners over on our side of the stage who were completely confused by the lack of 1,000,000 bpm progressive trance or sumfink. as my friend said “sasha’s that way mate” (pointing to the back of the tent).
Thanks to the comment Scot. .
Yeah, it’s disappointing because being such a seminal electronic band they should be playing to bigger crowd, although I’m not sure that they were the right headline act for a dance festival like Global Gathering(however, surprising it may seem). I had a look on the inthemix thread for the festival and it was a bit depressing how the majority of posters seemed to be raving (no pun intended…) about some DJs playing some records.
But I guess having said about it being a disappointment, it did feel like a privilege seeing them at such close quarters in an intimate environment. And you could tell from the crowd reaction what it meant to the people who did see that show; it was one of those special performances that just stays with you for a long time.
BTW this was just a mini-review from my twitter posts for the day. There is a proper blog and photos on their way, hopefully sometime soon.
