Well, Portishead or SY and others used it as a platform to put bands that the audience didn't know in front of the ATP crowds. Some great lesser-known bands from all over Europe and the states at both (I'm mentioning these because I went, I'm sure it's true for subsequent ATPs).
ATP's a difficult platform but at least some nominal respect for where it is seems wise. Y'know, giving the opportunity for lesser-known folk to at least play out to a crowd that might subsequently go and see them in their local shows.
