Found his name Adam Smith

he's been doing their visuals for 15+ years (used to do it with another guy, Noah), and amongst other things he's directed a Dr Who episode.

Wasnt planning on seeing the Chems, was at Jamie T, met some lovely people and we were at the front, they were like you need to stay for the Chems, it'll be immense, so I did, bloody great it was. Visuals were amazing. was ruined after it though - well worth it.

Just read that article. So basically he gets to stand on stage while doing the visuals now? I misunderstood before and thought he was having some sort of hand in the 'live' music!

No Private Psychedelic Reel. Again!!

Absolutely fantastic. Them into 2ManyDJs on Acadia was my favourite part of the whole festival.

Very much this. What a way to end a superb week.

As if the balls and robots coming to life wasn't surreal enough, I had a crazy moment when something really heavy fell down my leg and onto my foot. I looked down and it was a bloke who'd fallen out of the sky from a dingy!

ha!

 

did you see the pop up tent?

 

somewhere towards the end of the set, i forget which song, but when a big drop came in, up went a small pop up tent, which got thrown around like a beachball.  it amused me that someone had waited so long to release it!

Altern8 straight after 2manyDJs was pretty good too!

I bet that was someone who had packed up to go home and had all their stuff with them and it got to a certain point in the set when they said 'fuck it' & threw it up!

Don't get why so many people kept trying to push to the front during the set. Surely a Chemicals set is best enjoyed further back where theres room to dance? 

[evilduck]

I couldn't see the stage for a bit, and when I looked back up and the robots were real I thought I'd gone mental!

I'd agree with this except that I'd been further back for Jamie T immediately before and the sound had been shit. The Chems need to be loud so we decided we needed to be towards the front, but we did try to balance it with visuals.

I imagine those pushing forwards were frustrated by the sound though.

[BlackHole2006]

It was incredible.

[wozwebs]

Chemicals were superb, so glad I chose them over The Who

[Perks]

Ive just had a listen back to it on iplayer, sitting at work buzzing again. Am so thankful for the group I met at Jamie T for persuading me to stay for Chems. Great dance, great energy, great visuals, great beats - just fucking great

[phillyfaddle]

GUTTED I had to miss it to get back to the car (couldn't stay as had kid commitments early Monday morning) - as I'd never have got out of that crowd. Caught a bit from Pennards Hill, looked absolutely fantastic. Saw Idlewild in Avalon instead who were lovely, but not quite the same.....thank God for iPlayer!

the one thing that upset me about it. Sunshine Underground though!

[PollyPeach]

I loved altern 8. Absolutely perfect closer.

[Homer]

Well, roll on Bestival - we get Underworld too!

[mufcok]

Stole the show once again, completely blew my mind. 2manydjs afterwards as well, couldn't have finished the weekend any better

[WS_Jack_III]

Just seen the end of it on iplayer. How buzzing was Tom!

[zero000]

Didn't think it was as good as 2011, but they were still pretty ace. Saturate was my highlight.

with you on that one, i did enjoy 2011 more. 

[srb]

Was absolutely outstanding. Loved every second of it then up to 2manydjs after had me completely shattered. Sensational way to finish up
