Thats pretty much the size of it ! Can't be arsed to type it out again so i've copy and pasted my 2 pence from no future:

Kind of fragmented compared to last year in that i didn't know where any of my mates were for most of the time... missed a few sets i'd wanted to catch..Black E (Cristian Vogel and Ben Pest) slammed it.. was definately a highlight for me, with an impromptu number at the end with cristian's wife singing/toasting that just rocked.. really positive set, crowd loving it and a VERY lively and smiley performance from the musicians.. could really see they were all enjoying themselves..
Karl Bartos was excellent.. a real gent and amazing to see and hear him and his right hand man (who WAS meatloaf).
The weather was abysmal which added to the bosnian estate vibe of it all..
Luke ('s anger) totally smashed it on friday/sat morning giving some much needed welly to the music, saw a bit of juan atkins.. didn't think it was anything too amazing, Simon Dexorcist's acid house/oldies set was excellent..i thought in general the sunday had the most relaxed vibe, being a kind of 'bonus' day.. criminally, i missed jason leach's set which i heard dropped jaws amongst the 'rum-diddy-oom-diddy' straight techno heads. lots of casualties, people being carried away by bouncers who i thought apart from a couple were pretty cool..As with the last bloc, it was great to see the 'uk scene' coming together with promoters and crews from absolutely everywhere in attendance and having a right good knees up.. 400 strong irish massive in the house keeping the vibe alive .. hmm, i might be rambling now but all in all.. bloody good show .

Have to say there was a bit of a 'ketamine presence' this year that i didn't notice last year so much... What i found a bit bad was the extent to which lots of people were getting themselves reaaally ****ed up and not leaving their chalets.. to me it kind of heralded the onset of the interest in doing drugs overtaking the interest in getting out and about and hearing/seeing the performances... :(

oh, and i thought sleeparchive was bizarrely boring,

Other things that rocked (according to others) were Jackmaster from glasgow, Red Snapper, Apparently Amon Tobin was amazing too... And i really enjoyed my set which luckily was just after they'd closed the other 2 rooms on sunday morning so had a full house - horaay :)
