Yeah usually I would agree, but BOOM was an exception for me because besides the music they had so much going on from guest speakers such as the director of MAPS research, director of the spirit molecule documentary; both of which had Q&A sessions with the audience (in the most relaxed area, less then 50 people all laying down under a big tent)
Healing areas where they had daily yoga and meditation sessions, and it was quite spread out across the coast of a massive lake so there was never a huge concentration of people.
But that said it was the first big psychedelic festival I've been too, I haven't been to rainbow serpent or maetraya(sp?) in Aus.. I imagine it would leave some environmental footprint but what's interesting about boom to me is the heavy emphasis on everything been ecological, the toilets were cubicals that dropped down into a compost heap which was used for the vegetable gardens on-site and the generators for some of the stages were been run on vegetable oil. Bamboo was used extensively around the place also.
Don't know if I would do it again, it was an experience.. I do miss the smaller parties back in Perth though
