Melt! Festival (Pictures + Review)

[Eikman]

so, i'm ready to write coherent sentences again after spending the weekend at Melt! Festival.

short review of the gig: It was alright. Not more and not less.
Considering that they spend more than 20 minutes setting up the visuals, they only used them in the second half of the gig and even then it was...well....a bit random to my mind. the thing i liked was that they played new songs, especially that new d&b song with the "visions" part. the first new song or improv was a bit too slow for my ears tho. the rest was more or less pleasing the masses, and after i've seen the tracklist of the HMH i know that festival gigs are always not as good singles shows. i also have to admit that nobody i spoke to said that Underworld was the act of the festival. anyway, i enjoyed it nonetheless.

Tracklist:

1. New Track (with guitar)
2. Cowgirl/REZ
3. Dark & Long/New Train
4. Pearl's Girl
5. New Track (Vision)
6. New Track
7. King Of Snake
8. Born Slippy.NUXX (including 2003-version)
---
9. Moaner (short version)

The setting of the festival looks great! Pity those festival gigs are so short.

Yes that looks perfect, i see that the own shows like Prague have some +. It always great atmosphere, and the people at the gigs are good too. In case of UW all is about music...;)

ahh...now I am able to answer (problems with my account)

thanks to whomever up'd that new video of new tracks to
the efftpee...that was me :)

It was my first Underworld gig and I loved it! It was absolutely great! The first song with guitar reminded me of the old dubno-days, which I like a lot!
Dark & Long was also very cool!

Edit: I want to add that in the beginning of Born Slippy some tunes of "Biro the Leggy" have been used!

There's a couple of clips here (http://www.myvideo.ch/Community/Mitglieder/Videos?searchMember=1808922). Seems like at least PG, BS, Moaner and Parc (in '05 known as HMH #1 ;)) was played.

And, of course, the Lenny Penne, Small Conker, Scribble sequence that was played at every show that year.
