Having
never seen DIV live I was half expecting to hear a verbatim reproduction
of The Contino Sessions and was wondering whether they had persuaded
Iggy Pop to do the vocals to Aisha. But DIV completely blew me and
the rest of the sizable crowd away with a completely different sound.
Illuminated
by the orange glow of the setting sun, the Other Stage looked like
it was in for something special. DIV pulled no punches, driving
every song with a pounding big beat. Opening with Flying, the beat
got the crowd moving, but it was the driving, almost grinding, guitar
sound that pushed the set along, helped by the odd blast from some
wicked horns in a couple of numbers. The radical reworking of their
album tracks often made it difficult to identify them (frankly we
were too busy getting on with enjoying it to make notes) but they
definitely finished with Dirge with a guest vocalist providing the
haunting la la las. The perfect warm up for Leftfield and a personal
vow to go and see DIV again at the earliest opportunity.
