It was so quiet that the music lost all it's punchiness and just sounded flat and empty. Such a pity to hear what was clearly a good set, but just not be able to feel it properly because it was so pathetically quiet. They have Funktion One soundsystems, but I can still chat at normal volumes inside the tent?!? Something is not right there... The general opinion of my mates, and a few people we over heard was that the music was good, but you still just didn't really get into it, mainly cos the vibe wasn't there due to it being so quiet. Unless they have an official press release to say that the volume will be louder next year then I'm not going again.
Same problem as the last 2 years then. The year before that they banged it out and got a severe reprimand - in order to keep what is a fantastic venue they've had to greatly compromise on the sound and yes, it really does spoil things. Was part of the reason why I wasn't arsed about going this year, even though the line-up was bloody good.

They won't get it sorted until they move away from that venue, but I imagine finding good quality land, easily accessible from all parts of the country and away from anyone likely to want to get any sleep that weekend is not a very easy task.

On another note, have seen CJ Bolland 2 or 3 times and he's been superb every time. Good quality dancefloor techno.
