The first Balaton Sound festival went off without too many problems. It's hard to beat such a mellow daytime feeling where music drifts in on a soft breeze while taking a dip in chilly Lake Balaton. There were the obligatory gripes about commercialism, but it must be difficult for the organizers to turn a profit on just the ticket sales.There was an emphasis on soul and ethnic music on the festival's main stage.
The Beastie Boys unveiled their new instrumental album.
The Brand New Heavies played from their new album as well but found more success in playing the classics.
And, the Basement Jaxx played a surprisingly diverse set with lots from the horn section and a new wardrobe from the female vocalists every two songs.
