E-Craft @ Parkbühne	Absurd Minds @ Werk II
COIL: It was like being in a mad audio scientist's laboratory...experiements running amok! Also very visual - the programs were being run off a Macintosh Powerbook on stage. The last song was my favorite - and it was "performed" after everyone had left the stage. The previous song involved strobes and naked, bleeding boys with flowers (see photo #2).

Bruno Kramm, of Das Ich, has a new side-project: KRAMM. It was an outstanding performance, featuring beautiful girls playing instruments, impressive lighting, and even fire. I couldn't get close enough for really good pictures, so you'll have to take my word for it! The music was much more electro-dancey than the usual Das Ich material.

London After Midnight: We had the luck of running into some of LAM the night before everything got started, and saw them around frequently - they stayed in our hotel. The last time I saw them, their performance was sagging, but they've come back!

Laibach: What an overwhelming environment to see Laibach - the band I was listening to while watching the first images of the Berlin Wall coming down - on an enormous stage in front of an enormous, black stone monument. The rain was a downer, but somehow added to the ominous atmosphere. Notice the speakers suspended from giant cranes, swinging in the winds. This picture was actually taken as Les Tambours du Bronx was playing - see my links page for a site with really good pictures of Laibach's performance.

Estampie: another perfect-environment. Estampie plays primarily medieval-styled music with a range of acoustic instruments. Where better than inside the Crypt of the Völkerschlactdenkmal, with a dome soaring 80m overhead, surrounded by stone soldiers with heads hung in shame and sorrow, and 10m tall stone figures depicting 4 aspects of humanity. Only a handful of people could fit down around the stage area - the bulk of us were upstairs, peering down through from the upper balcony area.
