lmao
i was going to write a review for itm but can't really be bothered now so ill just add my thoughts here. i could have used sunglasses, or any glasses, i had the worst hayfever for years, could not believe how bad it was. everything was fine friday night, then saturday BANG it hits me. the telfast packet says take one a day, i had 5 in 30 hours. didn't really feel better till sunday night back in melbourne, although i still felt it on monday. i thought the venue was better this year, at least i did on friday since i saw all the green! no dust! yay! the fact that it was in a volcanic crater had nothing to do with me liking it either.
dave the drummer was pretty good, he took us to funkytown. the sound system was great, we were camped on the other side of the lake away from the stages but you could hear the main stage really well from our spot. i thought j00f was great of course hehe. really enjoyed the live set he did, can't wait for those tunes to come out. saturday only saw bits and pieces during the day because i felt like shit. monsoon moon was pretty cool, as was some guy with a 'fucking techno' shirt on. there was a lot of techno, most i heard was pretty good, no minimal crap. although i didn't enjoy extravelt much, i couldn't get into it. too clicky and glitchy for my liking. a few breaks djs as well, i especially liked the sounds on the friday night before dave the drummer. hydra stage was packed whole weekend pretty much.
walked down sat night just in time for ben only to find out they were 90 mins behind which sucked. the guy dj'ing at that time wasn't too bad, then ben playeda shorter set and then that guy played again as a live set with someone else. ben wasn't too bad either but i was hoping for slightly less full on, especially after his thread in music discussion about more melodic style psy trance. quite a lot of full on stuff, i prefferred the more proggressive trance last year of antix and freq, i thought there could have been more of that. i only heard one guy play that kind of stuff, and it was good, it was luke something i think. perfect stranger played some proggressive trance stuff but a chucked in a few more electro-ey tunes as well that i didn't like.
i was too wrecked for blinky, but i did wake up about 5:30 when he was supposed to be on and liked what i heard. then someone got on the mic and said perfect stranger wasn't going to start until everyone started picking up some rubbish off the dance floor hehe. coombsy i think it was played some nice stuff on sunday before the hydra set closed. spiro and someone else also played some good tunes before they started going a bit meh for my taste so i decided to go home hehe.
i think i preferred the music more last year but the overall venue better this year, a bit easier and quicker to get too, harder to get lost at night, nice looking location, plus volcanic rocks!

Bugger about the hayfever philby! the trance stage on the sat night had to have trance/full on, as much as i would have loved to play sun control species and freq and perfect stranger type of music it wasnt going to fit with the timetable, but thanks heaps for catching it though!

Mate! Besides all the line-up fuck ups and simulations, besides all the goss and the presumptions - This year's EC at Kulkurt (whatever that name means - Philby may know, coz he talked to the landlords when he went to get himself a drink at the bar) has deserved overall a 8 & 1/2 out of 10.
Site: Absolutely spaced-out location and swale like landscape. (Apparently, a negative crater in opposition to the cone-shaped one's, called a Maa, and a mother it was...) Accoustics like you were sitting inside a speaker cone, the camp-site felt like a large native-american tepee town before the yearly gathering and the visuals you got entering the Maa on Friday afternoon upon arrival were releasing wads of tryptamines and other fuzzy feel good chemicals (i am not going into any more details!)
Sound: Fucking AWESOME!!! The Main and the Hydra were equipped with fully blown FUNCTION 1's 
(God has one in his drawing room)
The tickets alone were worth hearing these systems go off...
I am talking bass frequencies so phat, warm and sooo stable an ordinary human being not having been to a bush doof before would instantly shit their pants. The mid and upper frequencies so crisp and
defined that it put you inches away from questioning whether you have lived before or you just got born...
No wobbles, distortion can kiss your ass good-bye, no painful, sharp and freak frequencies penetrating the orfices of your bodies but just sound as crisp and as rich as late technology freshly cracked out of an egg...
We sat about 130 metres across, directly lined up with the main stage divided by the little body of water in the middle of the swale, and enjoyed FUNCTION 1's divine sonic delights at full measure at our camp-site whilst kickin' back.
On the floors, the system simply possessed you (even Philby started to sway occasionally...) and we couldn't get enough 
Line-up: As promised by the organisers, the program was more diverse as in previous years which in general could be put down as a positive. However, I would have liked to see appropriate replacement acts for Human Blue and Liquid Soul...(it is over now so we won't whinge about it...) This left the Prog sound short of balance and if it wouldn't have been for J00F, Lish and ultimately our home-grown talents (with production futures...?!), namely Ben Evans, Coomsby and Blinky, I would have sued Spiro and his DanceAid volunteers for what they are worth - cause I made a substantial sacrifice involving many aspects of the life of my partner and myself(and that is putting it conservatively), to be present at EC'07 and to walk away in a blissful high! But these five acts alone, plus a bit of ESP and a bit of this and that and we were satisfied considering all and everything else that was above the standard.(Don't mention the low tables on the stages which made it hard for performers taller than 4 feet to work their stuff without risking a stiff. Don't mention the toilet and showers - it's a bush doof after all. Don't mention the lay-out and the narrow whole in front of the main stage [the art-work and design was brilliant], cause the performers couldn't see us and we could barely see the performers. But what the heck - we were there for the music!!!)
The VIP Club: In all respect to Spiro and the DanceAid boys and girls - this whole VIP Club hype is such a cat-in-the-sack product not worth the paper it is written on and certainly not worth by far the color of the money. I am not going into detail coz this might upset some "VIP's" but say that much - don't be fooled by this VIP scheme, it is the DEVIL's scheme and he tries to suck you right out of your down-to earth decadence and into the "wannabe" world full of bullshit personalities and hard-core cliche junkies that are too fucking dumb to empty their spring-water bottles at home and fill them up with Vodka, Ouzo, Grappa, Schnapps etc instead of handing over massive bucks for shit service in a completely overcrowed environment...stop press! (Simon00 was right - as usual!) The moral: Money can't buy you status!
Why do I know all that??? Because I was dumb enough to fall for it and yes I was a sucker but now I am reformed and do not mess with reformists, they say!!!
Everything else: Fantastic, Marvellous, Mind-Bending, Out-Of-This-World, ...wanting more and wanting it now...
Well done Spiro and the DanceAid Crew - we love you anyway and look forward to EC EASTER'08 in Kulkurt!

| Originally posted by marcusus Coombsy rocked it I thought. Needed more psy like that. Was perfect music for the time, and indeed would've gone down well at probably almost any hour I would think. Absolutely loved that psy mix of Daft Punk - Around The World. Anyone know what it was? |

Indeed it is. I found out a while back, and posted on ITM, but forgot about poor old TA
Top mix too. I just saved myself $127.50
