Ok, so I wasn't at any of the events, but I watched a load on iPlayer; here are my reviews, starting with electronic music superstars Orbital and Underworld...
Orbital
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b4d7bk
- Great set, all the classics (first five mins wasn't so keen on)
- Nice synth malfunction in Satan, proving something was being done live
Underworld
- Rez into Underworld was amazing
- Born Slippy always raises the hairs, especially when seeing it enjoyed by 1000s of other people
- Rick Smith was clearly miming a record-perfect rendition of Rez. I mean, really? It’s not dignified to do that at his age!!
Goldie
- Wanted to like it, but style of vocals just not my cup of tea
- I just can’t get on with live drums for an intensely electronic style such as D’n’B. See a foolish article I wrote for Sound on Sound in my youth: sss (I still stand by it!!!)
Selector
- Quite fun
Lykke Li
- Always loved Dance Dance Dance so giving this set a whirl
- This first song ‘Swimming Pool’ is going on a bit
- All the songs I’m finding a bit boring I’m afraid. One chord per bar, vocal style unchanging, etc.
- Enjoyed the second half a bit better, more interesting sounds and evocative atmosphere.
- No Dance Dance Dance! Wot a swizz!
Public Service Broadcasting
- not entirely convinced by the four-part Titanic piece, but at least they’d made an effort for the location
- Will they play Spitfire?
- Yes!
- Enjoyed second half of their set from Spitfire onwards
Simple Minds
- Yeah, I know, a bit of nostalgia. Good 80’s keyboard styles!
Baloji
- This was great, need to track down more of their material
