Complaints about the sound at Glade 2008

[joe_techno]

Loud enough to notice they were talking gibberish 90% of the time

innit. why spoil a perfectly acceptable tune by getting some buffoon to chat shit over it?

thankyou! ... i swere uv nicked that sentence straight out of the bible.

[leah]

what is arguably worse is some twat on the bus chatting shit over a tune that no-one else can hear (possibly because it's only playing in his head)

I lurve MCing. But where I come from it's was called toasting, later DJing, and it's usually accompanied by Pulmonary Oedema inducing bass. Any complaints from anybody about Aba Shanti-I at the Weekender? I thought not. (Could have done with them at Glade in my opinion but I'm just a shit stirrer) PROPER MCing was originally your news at ten, sports report and social commentry all in one. With a bit of self promotion true but done in an entertaining way.

There is NOBODY today who can provide a commentary like Rankin' Joe, Josie Wales and the greatest of them all, Brigadier Jerry etc. and if you can point me to anyone today I'll be surprised. It's all down to the speed of the music. Random phrases are now chucked in like jumping on a spinning merry go round coz it's impossible to keep pace. You can't continuously speak and be understood at 160bpm+ so why bother?

no, no complaints and i agree about glade maybe next year?

Pulmonary Oedema inducing bass

i was reading about things bass on wikipedia the other day (sub-bass, infrasound and the (urban)legendary brown note):

"Loud concert levels of subwoofer arrays have been cited as causing lung collapse in individuals who are very close to the subwoofer, especially for smokers who are particularly tall and thin"

i always quite enjoyed that breathy feeling...

Stop smoking, cut your legs off and eat a load of pies! Problem solved.

DnB (or hard dance) MCing is more about the sounds you make and when you make them, not the lyrics. DJ Rubbish was the best MC at Glade, by far.

I would just like to add that I have just come back from Green Man festival which is primarily a folk festival. Generally the sound was notably FAR louder that any set at Glade, which somehow doesn't seem right. Fuck Buttons FTW

HaHa! 'Street Horrrsing' is possibly my most played album of the moment* but it wouldn't have got a look in at tranny radio Glade volumes!

Fuck 'em. Especially if they're the sort of upstairs neighbours who clomp about on uncarpeted floors 24/7.

I never had any problems..is it because i stand infront of the speaker at every stage

What was that again, sonny?



I take it you're not one of those scummy festival types who are signing that festival sound petition then?

Good man! Vote Conservative!

[quote="Beautfish"]"Here's Ans' response to sound levels from the Psymusic forum.

The rest of the discussion on this psy forum is pretty interesting. Ans is saying the license stipulates they can't go above 45db after midnight, which is quite frankly a complete fucking joke. But, their hands are completely tied. He also reiterates what has been said on here before, that the organisers don't believe there is another site in the UK that is far enough away from local residents AND has good transport links AND has the visual beauty of Wasing etc etc.

I couldnt gşve a fuck about visual beuty
