I'm sure others will disagree and I'll get blasted for what I'm about to say, however here goes. Digweed started at approximately 1:15 and started off with three great tracks. Sorry, don't know the names. I thought I was in for the set of my life, since I missed WMC!!! Then it had few ups and several flatlines for me personally. Each played for approximately 1 hour before the other would return. Towards the end of the night, the intervals got shorter. Heard several songs from the Space Terrace set from both S & D. And at one point around 4am I thought the night was going to take a turn for the better. As Digweed laid down two great vocal tracks from the Space set again and the place got excited. I'm not a trainspotter so I'll let others who were there take a stab at which ones I'm talking about. But yet again, the momentum was not kept. I know these sets are suppose to be journeys with peaks and valleys. But is just seemed like there were more valleys than peaks. A very musically inclined friend who was there described the night as having lots of fillers. All and all is was a good set IMO but not a great one. I'm sure the threads about Pawnshop, the Boat Party, and Space didn't help any with my expectations. But with these two, their experience and access to records I just wanted more. The night never seemed to get in the proper groove for me personally. Again it wasn't a bad night by any means. And was leaps and bounds above the last two times I heard Sasha at Glow in D.C. Though, it wasn't the deep, dark and dirty Digweed I read about during WMC and was expecting. Met some great ms'rs for the first time and some others it was great to see for the first time since last years WMC (2005). Sasha's encore was a remix of the femal vocal at the 43:30min of his Space Terrace set. The main lyric is "because we are beyond friends, you never be alone again" So can't complain too much since Digweed started the night off great and Sasha ended it great. The last hour was also mostly uphill during which time Sasha played the majority of the time.
So I drove the 2.5 hours leaving work last night at 9. Walked in the doors of Crobar at midnight. And left Crobar at just after 7am and returned straight back to work. I feel sorry for those in the office w/ me today. And how am I not going to crash before I get off work at 9pm tonight, your guess is as good as mine.
When I listen to Space Terrace sets again, I'll try and plug in more names/lyrics to give a better idea of what was played.
