The early years of rave were fucking amazing
Best time to be a teenager since the 60s I'd say.

I was being polite and not mentioning those.

Sorry mate can you speak up, I'm having a bit of difficulty hearing you over THOSE CLOTHES

Don't get me wrong
at the time I had an amazing time, truly amazing but the MC's were shit though weren't they? and the music doesn't hold up well*?

People are hardly looking back and going yeh Rozalla she was a seminal artist of our time

*apart from the prodigy....and utah saints were quite good......that SL2 was a commercial hit but not too bad.....oh joe Beltram was quite good wasn't he?..and LFO.....and a guy called gerald's one that's a classic .....but apart from that...

look I had shit tapes then okay?

'N-Joi Live at Manchester' is fucking brilliant. Proper time capsule.

is there an MC on it?

(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:09, closed)
Yeah but barely
They released it as an LP and I have it to this day.
(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:10, closed)
listening to it now
sounds good so far.

The problem with the ones I had was the MC's didn't fucking shut up at all. It was like inane nursery rhymes over the whole thing....terrible

I have no idea how I put up with it however it maybe connected with the reason I wore a florescent orange hoody given above ;)
(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:22, closed)
I had a white hoody with a massive pink and orange om on it :o(

(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:23, closed)
you fucking hypocrite
PINK!!! I never stooped that low

Om's though eh?
(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:26, closed)
Eh? EH?
All I'm saying here is you should be proud that you were there, right place, right time, for the only really new youth culture since punk. There hasn't been one since either. It was an exciting time and I for one wouldn't trade it for anything.

But the OP was mainly moaning about the MC's
later admitting poor judgment in my 'tape' selection

I had a fine old time fucked up my head & my degree but it was laugh though wasn't it?
(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:37, closed)
Fucking right it was.

(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:39, closed)
I like this so far
Good work.
(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 16:49, closed)
I think I have that on CD....wasn't it the extra track on one of their singles or something?
edit: no, was a CD single in itself, have to look it out for a listen, buried under the stairs with the rest of my ex-uni cds I think!

I saw them doing a live PA around the time that was recorded, it was pretty much identical.
I think in some aircraft hangar in Stratford or something. Magic.

If I can find it there should also be some Altern-8,
Eskimos+Egypt, SL2, and a few more. Students.....
(, Wed 4 Sep 2013, 17:30, closed)
I saw SL2 performing that tune in the Brunel Rooms in Swindon.
It had a revolving bar which was a) really lame and b) really fucking confusing when you're bollocksed on really smacky pills. You'd put your drink down and two seconds later it had gone.
