    a rave isnt an airconditioned club, with an overpriced bar, filled with people sporting chickenhead haircuts and silly diamante studded jeans paying 4 pounds for a bottle of badly brewed lager.

    I never went to a rave, and i dont begrudge anyone having a night out and having fun - but a fucking rave is not something you have at a commercial club.

    too young to know what 'rave' meant then eh.

    listen to some old ratpack tapes and read up about warehouse parties in the early nineties and compare it to the average night out at digital or whatnot.

    Worlds apart.

    eh - so someone who's never been to a rave is lecturing someone who has on raving?

    people didn't stop raving in 94, the papers just stopped reporting it...

    and I ain't even talking about clubs (though freaky dancing and a few other clubs ain't far off beign a proper rave, and would be if we could run through til 6-7am imo), there have been 40+ parties in newcastle / the north east over the last 7 years in warehouses, beaches, forests, farms etc. with multiple dj's, multiple rigs, and hundreds of people at them - which is fits my definition of a rave... and I ought to know because I've er done nothing to help put them on at all officer.

    fucking heracy.

    if i heard it in a club right now i'd cringe .... but when it was played back then it was amazing. I'd say the same of that max graham mix of 'owner of a lonely heart' which was played in SW4 at heaven a little while before it hit the charts.

    Even though a tune might be ruined by commercial success, it doesnt mean it was never good at some point

    Personally I enjoy clubbing as much now, maybe even more than i ever have and think the music around at the minute is better produced than it ever has been, but the reason the earlier stuff sticks in my mind as a classic is because it made an impression on me, when at the time i knew very little about the music i was clubbing too.
    Half the stuff I see as classics sound really dated and if they were released today I probably wudn't entertain it, but i still have fond memories of them.

    There is to me classic tracks been made every month thats the nature of music its just finding them.

    Loads of classics don't sound dated something like Strings of life is timeless also age of love 'age of love' has great production and is 14 years old.

    I could list loads of old tracks that the production values are nearly perfect.

    I listern to old rock music and don't notice a lack of production on something like say like the Smiths compared to the Kooks.

    I actual like the old analogue production techniques used compared to digital ones now.

    As for the no-ones raved since 94 comment WTf i saw about 350 poeple raving at freaky dancing last weekend.

    I revise my comment - what i meant was that a 'rave' is not something you do in a commercial club.

    I think the term is a bit old aswell, but hey thats just my opinion.

    Who cares if the terms old it sums what goes on at good dance nights.

    I would not say that the Cosmic Ballroom is a commercial club, a commercial club to me is Blu Bambu.
