What's that sound?

[blay]

...the ringing in my ears.

just got back tonight from earthcore festival (3 day electronic/arts festival about 2 hours drive north of melbourne)

just a couple of highlights:

son kite: i know you guys dont like trance - this isnt trance. his 90 minute 'live' set blew me away... progressive with amazing rhythm. he had about 800-900 people going for it while he was up on stage with his midi violin and assortments of synths and samplers... over about 70,000W

simon ponsford: 8O if you havent heard anything released by SHPONGLE before then please check it out. ponsford and raja ram (who is nearing 70????) produce what i regard as the most amazing electronic music on the planet... he only played a dj set, but it was the final act of the festival at around midday today (sun) - all other stages were closed at this point so the whole festival moved to the main stage for posfords set - and he played a lot of new tracks from the upcoming shpongle release 8O
you cannot categorise their music in any way other than to put in the 'brilliant' genre
