Blue Man Group: Missed the 1st performance because the tent was heaving and didn't fare much better second time! Nevertheless caught their imaginative routine involving a large 3 piece pipe. Genius... heavy drumming too.

Chapel of Love & Loathing: Had to peek some Lost Vagueness craziness, where people could get married in a ring on stage. Checked a great swinging 50's band. Smiles all round.

Steve Reid & Kieren Hebden (Four Tet): Four Tet music paints beautiful, abstract soundscapes that are often breathlessly - and accessibly - experimental. This live set was really pushed those boundaries! Teaming with avant-jazz drumming legend Steve Reid (Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, James Brown), insane drum patterns clashed with electronica. Half didn't get it. They saw it as a crazy, noisy mess. The rest of us witnessed a style groundbreakingly original, mathcing avant-jazz with future sounds. True it was madness, but there was a fascinating scent of art to the fusion.
