Out of upvotes, but yes. Yes, indeed. Ben

You imagine they'll revert to a more 'typical' setlist from before the Green/Brown tour. But I hope not! Getting half an hour of Brown would be heaven (is a place on Earth). Ben

All three LPs are really, really good. At first I didn't think that the last two had quite caught that innocent, jangly indie sound of the debut. But after repeated listens Blue Rev is just so well written! Their recent setlists are understandably very Blue Rev heavy, so we'll just have to see what gems we get from the debut. They're my No.1 must see at the moment and I'm just praying that no-one I really want to see clashes with them. Ben

For me he's a real DJ's DJ. Loves the craft of creating a set and as a producer he has made some fantastic stuff. His set with Richard Fearless on Glade last year was also great, though it suffered a little bit from being on the Thursday when less was going on - so there were a lot of people just there so that they were somewhere. But their selections were wonderful. After foolishly leaving his LH set early, as lamented above, I'll be looking to see him again this year. Hope he's playing elsewhere over the weekend too, as the sound on the new big Glade is, for me, only 'ok'. Ben

New album being released on Friday. Ben

**Faints** Ben

Oh man, this has got me having serious flashbacks to how great Saturday night was on Lonely Hearts last year. Bohmer > Cooper > Hauff > Avery The only error was that I dragged my gang away after about 45mins of DA to get to Truth for Scalping, then we couldn't get in as they'd closed the entrance to Shangri-La, so we went somewhere else, then they reopened the entrance and people caught up did get to Truth! Moral: if you're dancing and it's fantastic, it almost certainly won't be more fantastic elsewhere. Stay there! Ben

Maybe the b2b with Avery dream is alive... Ben

If they get a full day's programme, with the variety that fabric champion, that could be phenomenal. I'd be delighted if that was The Levels or Lonely Hearts, as the former is a spectacle, but the sound on the latter last year was spectacular. What about DVS1 b2b Helena Hauff at 1am on The Levels. Can you even imagine?! Ben

Gosh! Good programming would make that an even bigger draw away from the SEC and elsewhere, at least until 3am. Ben

Oh yes! Maybe THAT'S the stage I'm thinking of!! Although wasn't that 'on the right' and then if you went past it and veered to the left you got to Truth v1.0? This is ridiculous. I need to let this go! Ben

Yeah, I mean after they dumped Heaven (which one year was a really odd venue - a sort of v small amphitheatre all in white, with no-one there most of the time). I wish my spangled memory could recall more about the version of Truth I'm thinking of. Might have been it's first year. Ben

No, that's the Glade Dome, which is more or less where the old Glade was. The new Glade stage is huge and is the other side of the walkway that comes down from the old railway line, in the space where the Glade Lounge and Spaceport used to be. The Glade Dome is terrific. Very much the feel of the old Glade, with its customary excellent sound system. Ben

Wasn't the first iteration of Truth/final iteration of Hell slightly tucked around a corner off the main Shangri-La highway? I'm sure it was. That was a great set-up, though I fear its capacity wouldn't be adequate now... Ben

A perfect example of high-energy, jangly indie guitar-pop. They were amazing in Woodsies a few years ago. They will be spectacular this time. Ben
