This might seem like a cop out, but there's no way I can write a review of this event, words simply wouldn't cut it. I'd like to say thanks to Aaron, Lucy & Jeanie for helping me out at various points in the evening, and I'd also like to say that I'll never EVER listen to Hold Tight London the same again.

Go on, chemicalfan!!! Try, son. Indulge me!

wowowweewa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



damn, im so frickin jealous. I gotsta see the Chems on NYE and meet all you great people!



I think Rynostar has got it down people. Us non-european based people need to make it a goal to getting to Turnmills all at the same time, so we all can join the fun!

Next year. Next year.



Amazingly it sounds like this NYE even topped last years at Turnmills. A feat which I wouldn't have thought possible, but those crazy Chems just keep finding ways to amaze.

This is a good idea. A biiiig international meet up. I am definitely up for making the trip out from Australia for 07/08 NYE. I was meant to be there this time but factors in my life went to shit after September and I had to stay here. It was obviously special this nye with the new album due, tour, and EBW8/9, but well that's life ffs.



Thanks so much for the pics and reviews, I look forward to more. Just loved reading Jeanies! Mint time indeed. :D :D :D This year. This year! ;-)

I love the idea of big international meet up. :D I can say right now I can definitely do a 08 NYE but, 07 NYE would take some work financially. I still think I could make it work though!

Hey thanks everyone for the wonderful writeups and pics! Great pics chemdup - still have to see acid's.

Whoa - looks like it really was as intense a night as expected. Cant wait to hear Chemical 6 now.

Also it wouldn't just be fair if the regular fans don?t get 8 n 9 on cd soon! I've ordered my vinyl long back, but don?t see it coming - think I got ripped by Juno.



Welcome in Rynostar, Acidballoon, Diamond_Geezer, Chemical_Pilot - it's lovely to see so many new folks in here! The clan grows on the forums!



Good to hear bout Anil kickin ass! Would love to hear his mixes!



Reading all those mentions of EBW 8 honestly left me outta breath. I could well imagine what it can do in a club or infact in an open air festival, it would just kill u right there. WE WANT IT ON CD soon! I've been blasting the radio versions on my 4000W system and I cant believe what the real record'd do in a real club! I'll say it again, 9's wicked and big, but 8's a fuckin revolution. Ed n Tom have stamped it again that they'r the gods of innovation - this is dance music right here right now in 2008, n they'r still top of the game!



The forum meetup at NYE 08/09 sounds like a great idea - maybe we can get the whole forum on Ed n Tom's special guestlist! Haha!



Thanks the Brothers - you rock harder than ever! Happy new year!

Hey Jeanie,



Wicked review, and great to meet you :)



Enjoy your recovery people... My head is still hurting!!!

Also, there are quite a few pics up here:

8O .....WHAT THE HELL!!!!! I'm not really that new.........I've been here for 2 years....though I haven't really posted much before this fall X-D

well i guess the jokes on me then X-D

international forum meetup......sounds wicked (and by that I mean nice!!!). I'm a little tired of feeling like the and only chems fan in western canada (though Darkstarexodus is about 1500 km east of me in winipeg) By the time next new years rolls around I'd probably have enough to do a quick trip over. And Chemical 6 would be well tried and tested by us that Tom and Ed could already be making new EBW's (ala EBW 6 after Come With Us).

Though NYE 08/09 would be pretty big if all of us could make it out. By that time there could be a chemical 7 rumored 8O ;-)

I can feel the love!!! or maybe that's just my legs falling asleep again.....

I hope you all know how envious i am right now reading and seeing all this!!!



But: great reviews and pics of you all that made me really feel like i'd have been there in person. Thanks so much!!! What i really enjoyed were the pic showing Ed hanging around with you, that's so awesome. One of The Electro Lords' half chatting with fans which looks like chatting with his own friends is just incredible! I'm becomming a huger fan every minute of reading here on the forum (I need not to mention that it includes what he's done for chemd'up and how fabulous that was . . .). Well, i'm hoping to get the chance being with you next year. Hope i can sort that out . . .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Btw, is that usual that the audience is that close to the Djs as i've seen in some of the pics here? There were several guys in the back of them and i was wondering . . . would make me a little nervous if i dj-ed . . .

There's Anil rockin'! Hey, who won the air guitar contest?







Mr. Si!







Niiiiiiiice!!

What i like are the ones showing Ed or Tom with that question beneath: "Is that you?" Hell yes, it is! X-D

Got my photos up although are rather dissapointing! Would love to bring my 'proper' camera to these events but knowing me i'll sell it to a man in shady corner for exchange for some chemicals when in the midst of a chemed up night!



Anyways here they are...

Am waiting to see that Mr Si fellas photos..!

I don't really wanna do a full review, partially because it has already been covered pretty well by Jeanie and mips, and partially because I don't really remember every waking minute of it. So I'm going for a highs-low style:



HIGHS:

Meeting up with the forumites, some of which I haven't seen for a year!

Get Yourself High from Nathan Detroit just prior to the Chems coming on

The Chems opening with Music: Response - such a surprise, so good in a club!

Chems new track at midnight - great little number that one 8)

(that bit was the easy bit as I was still sober)

The "Mouth to Mouth" remix - wasn't sure at first but then I got it a bit later in the song

Dopplewhipper (twice) - me and Rich have a BIG thing for this tune at the moment, and hearing it at Turnmills was special. The second time was in the street on the way home (shall we have a quick street rave, lads? X-D )

EBW8 & 9 - I know people were laughing at me going off my nut, but I wasn't quite in my nut so I didn't care :D

Under The Influence - yes, I was.

Hold Tight London - it was a live style mix, didn't realise what it was at first. I didn't like Hold Tight London live, it felt like it ruined the album version. Now, I totally and utterly get it. I'd also like to say I know exactly how Tim felt the first time he saw the Chems live. The chemicals were giving me one big rush, redefining euphoria. Bah, the words don't do it, I didn't think they would.

I also enjoyed Cagedbaby's set (what I caught of it) - I was very skeptical before it that it was gonna be good. But it turned out to be an electro house fest, and I was loving it!



LOWS:

Getting physically crushed at times in the main room, as it was too rammed.

Spacing out towards the end of the Chems set and beyond - I wanted to dance to the Out Of Control bootleg, but I was too out of it and could do nothing but sit. I've put it down to set and setting, but it wasn't cool. I've never done K, but I'd imagine I felt similar, disconnected from reality and a bit alien. Not cool in a club (but thanks to Diamond & Lucy for helping me out!)

Trying to talk to Tom but failing to make sentences, damn chemicals - Sorry Tom, I'm not a complete moron, I wasn't quite there!

Having a big come down at about 5am, 2 hours too early :( - could do nothing except sit around. Didn't help when they kept closing the various chill-out areas one by one. But thanks to Jeanie for cheering me up a bit, I know what it's like to still be up when someone else is having a rough time, it affects you so much. Not in a "bring you down" way, but a compassionate emotional way.

Losing various members of the group at various times - what with spacing out and man-hunting, I don't feel I got to hang out with everyone as much as I'd have liked. Still, I'm grateful for what I got, it was an amazing night, I just wish it could happen more often. Seriously, it actually bums me out that it's not a regular thing.



And that's all I can think of right now. No doubt that I will remember new bits as time goes by. Much love to all who were there, I miss you guys already! :'(

Oh, I'd just like to say 'Hi' to Anil once again - I think I bumped into you no less than 5 times during the night! :D

Oh Diamond_Geezur youre pics are just fine! I like them!

Thanks Whirly for posting the pics i was trying to post...

And mike - No worries! When you were coming down i was actually buzzing my ass off - funny combination innit X-D But i really enjoyed seeing you again and doing worry about going bonkers ! I think we all did !! 8)

Thanks so much chemicalfan - I know you say you can't describe in words how you felt, but I think you did just fine!! I really enjoyed what you wrote, I enjoy all of your contributions. I was really interested on your take of Hold Tight London and was assuming it was the loved up goodness that helped shape your new perspective, but I was waiting for you to confirm it. ;) Glad to see you had such a great time and were completely out of your head. A good night's always got the highs and lows but it's great when you have reality men and women to keep you from going off the deep end... wouldn't worry about making a bad impression for Tom. Imagine all the loved up/chemd up/completely wasted people he's encountered over the years - I'm sure he's probably used to it by now, hahahaha!!
