22:27 Amon Tobin -- hard beats meet slumberland

The happily grinning man arrived at the Third stage and the audience showed their appreciation from the get-go. The gentle, dream-like sounds from the beginning of the set soon had to yield to rougher, irregular beats.

Moving back and forth between the dream landscape and hellride was sometimes so seamless, that I feel I'm on a journey to a completely different a place. I can hear the sounds from the stage, see the wallowing crowd in front of me and I feel the heat of the tent, the sweat flowing down my face. Still, it feels like I were not quite there, but being partly torn between some states of being.

To close the show we also receive a suspicious amount of heavy rumbling reminiscent of, say, Ministry combined with breakbeat. Suddenly all is over; what happened during the last hour? Magnificent!
