I have to agree with you about Dale - much more robust and exciting than in previous years. I found Mills quite refreshing in that he veered away from his usual trickery and even managed to fit in Kings of Tomorrow and Donna Summer (no doubt that will make a few 313ers frown) without being cheesy. I know what you mean about Mills boredom though, Ken. We Brits seem to be happy with one good DJ over and over again rather than looking out for new talent. Why can't we have a few other Detroit DJs over - Terrance Parker, Kevin Saunderson, Mike Grant, Mike Huckaby etc, evn DJ Godfather would be welcome in the second room I think. They could also give a few British DJs a chance as well - Surgeon and Sims can compete with the best of the Detroit DJs.

Monday) .... Now that we've all probably recovered ;o) how did folk find the various nights? I went to *** LOST *** which featured Colin Dale, Fumiya Tanaka, Mills, Steve Bicknell, Du-Kru et al. Missed Du Kru which was a disappointment as I wanted to see what the reax was from the main room. Any thoughts anyone? Tanaka was awkward - He appeared to ocassionally try mixing *deliberately* off the beat (or am I being too charitable?!?) Colin Dale (imho): supberb performance. Recently he's been veering more towards a house vein than techno, but there were a number of classics. A H-Foundation track early in the set nearly blew the roof off, (sorry track names not my forte but I know it was H-Fdn.) Dale is old school and it shows in the long mixes and precision, but he kept my attention for at least 2+ hours .... hope it's my perception and that he's not really slowly playing out less and less .... Mills was Mills and in very good form - 'Sweet Smell Of Fear' appeared, which was nice, as was 'I Feel Love' on a massive system ... However, I sense a boredom creeping in on Mills. A few regular faces were missing, plus already some are saying they'll give the next Lost at 28.9 (with Mills too) a miss. Plus Mills is also on on 21.9 in London. Opinions please!
