Anyone going to bloc?

Im heading on Friday. Looking forward to seeing Surgeon, Rob Hood, James Ruskin and Busy P. The lineup isn't that interesting IMO, but there's go karts and a water park.

Each to their own and all that, but I have to agree with the masses here and say that's a savage line up.

FSOL weren't all that good.
They had problems without audio dropout too since it was a stream.
Highlight of the festival was Beardyman for me though:p

Hectorjelly

Yeah FSOL were terrible. They didn't play any of their best tracks, the whole thing was just a mish mash of ambient sounds and melodies.

The reason I wasn't excited about the line up was because it all seemed quite stale. 8 Years ago I would of been more than happy to see a lot of the acts, but there is loads of new and exciting music being made right now, none of which was reflected in the lineup. (Bar busy p, but I slept through him). I mean they had billy nasty finishing off one of the nights! Talk about a blast from the past

James Ruskin was excellent, highlight of the music for me

jonny68

Jaysus on some other forums people are saying they were deadly the atmosphere in those video's looked good and Papua New Guinea was played (someone said they didn't play any of their best tunes?)a mix match of Ambient sounds is exactly what id expect them to play, they are not a peak time Techno act like some were probably expecting.

Hectorjelly

I know they aren't a peak time techno act (or at least I know they aren't what you think that means) Ive been a fan for years, I know most of their albums really well (not the newest ones) and I didn't recognise any of it. Most of their best work is quite hard and not ambient at all

I didn't hear them play Papua New Guinea, I doubt they did since I don't think I could miss the bassline. When they started playing the room was packed. They managed to clear most of the dancefloor before it ended.

I think you may have been caught napping mate;) they did play Papua New Guinea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kLIXRyK1UE

I certainly would not have left that room as id have totally expected them to play an Ambient Set,that is essentially what they are an Ambient act who delve into some experimental Techno and Breakbeats.

I beg to differ about their best work, i think their best album is by far and away Lifeforms which is all Ambient/Chill Out an amazing album.

Hectorjelly

Oh, I should of guessed they would play it last. I'd left at that stage. I like lifeforms too, but I know what id rather hear when i'm out!
