I personally had an ace time as expected. Thoughts: Francois Kervorkian did not disappoint me, although I know he did some people. His style isn't often seen at Lost: Very long mixes, with more attention paid to layering and painting new parts of the current groove rather than changing that groove ... so some people reported getting bored. He of course played some sterling stuff. Including not only wild disco which perplexed the hell out of me but also glitch techno which did the same. All in all, his evident enthusiasm and ability to be patently moved by the music as much as the crowd, endeared him to me.
Derrick May was supberb (if I had a penny for everytime ... etc). He played 'Strings..'! He played it in the last half-hour. I found his selection to be very thoughtful. In the last fifteen minutes he broke it down almost completely, took off the beat and overlayed a kind of free jazz thing over a simple bass motif. Then he went away and fiddled a bit and gradually built it back up, but with disco and funk, before ending on something more techy. I'd rank it amongst the best I've seen him play. I agree with comments on the venue. It's ideal, the sound is crystal clear, it's massive, although we did note that the Lost event in the same venue with Aphex Twin and Richie Hawtin was much better attended .... maybe as much as 50% better. The next Lost is with Jeff Mills, 25.8, UK Bank Holiday and Notting Hill Carnival weekend. k --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
