Proper chill out areas PLEASE.
Overall rating: 3.5

Music was great, crowd was less aggressive and more chilled than I was expecting, but the lack of somewhere to properly chill out ruined the night. Everywhere was boiling apart from the smoking areas, which is pretty disturbing when you consider that most people wont have just been enjoying alcohol ;-p Would only go back for artists at the top of my favs list.

To expensive for a crapy little plastic cup of spirit.
Need stronger drinks cups & also cheaper mixers.

Cream
Overall rating: 4

Eddie haliwell was hands down the best. I was a bit gutted at the fact we couldn't see alesso because of how rammed the dance floor was. Maybe you could think of a solution for that? But overall a decent night, much better than last year. Don't know why Peaple are complaining the floor was slippy, it's a dance floor, it's going to be slippy. Was happy with the amount of people the doorman were ID'ing I'm 22 and I got ID'd, not much trouble, just the usual peaple that like to fight and that got seen to pretty rapid. defo goin next year. Cream never fails to deliver.. Eddie Eddie Eddie Eddie xx

Cream Boxing Night

Music (Good range and good flow)and Atmos was pretty good,Everyone was up for it and remained pretty full till the end. I do agree with above a better updated sound system is needed(Just showing its age I think).Bar Prices average I guess. Personally I feel though that its just oversold, it is just too rammed on the Dancefloor you can't really move, which takes the edge off the night.

Yes you want it busy but not to that extent, you should be able to obtain your own little space so to speak. It is not just Cream mind that oversell their gigs, it a common bug bear of mine. The Floor is a mess aswell, way to slippery(Polished wood never a good idea), but again that is common complaint I have which I guess is difficult to prevent.

It sounds like I am winging too much, but overall it was a good night and the atmos. with the clubbers which is the main thing was good. I enjoyed it and it was worth the trip from South Wales.

Bad venue in General
Overall rating: 3

Music was mostly good, apart from a few bad mixes here + there, you'd expect better at their level TBH. Venue was pretty bad, it is literally an old warehouse! I was expecting to be seeing Void or Funktion One audio equipment and instead you have these horrid JBL stacks there which were set up wrong! the treble was far too harsh and left my ears ringing the whole next day (I may be putting a claim in for this!)
Atmosphere of everyone in there was good but I'd rather pay the extra + go to the real CREAM @ Amnesia again in Ibiza!

Cream
Overall rating: 4

Cream is always a great experience but I dont know if I am getting older and changing my taste of music but it just wasnt my thing this time around. Above and Beyond always smash it an never let you down but Calvin Harris should just give up in my opinion he is not worthy of being a cream dj! As always the small time people are underestimeated but always deliver like Jemmy for example. The venue is great and I love watching the girls in their massive heels fall on the cobbles. No matter how many times I go I always seem to find a new spot I've not been before. Bring back deadmau5, Funkagenda, chris lake and wolfgang gartner!

Cream@Nation
Overall rating: 4

We came from Switzerland only for Above & Beyond and they were just adorable. Location was good. What I do not know from other trance events in Germany, Holland or Italy is that half of the people are drunk or be drugged up to the eyeballs. So as women we did not feel comfortable and we were being touched several times by men. And I had never seen such a mess on the bottom as we left the party and I go often to partys in other countries. Even at the DS party in December in Leeds and at the Garuda party last year in Manchester it was not like this. Bummer. But like this Cream won't exist any more in my schedule.
