- So good. I was in that queue many times.fadein11
- that was fascinating!!!
I've experienced a few moments like this in the London squat party scene. Getting blocked by cops and having to find a venue on the flyProjectile - ... blocking the entrance with people, so cops can't get in, while the other half the party carried on dancing... all sorts of madnessProjectile
- Excellent post..nice one..
Also if you in London go see Sweet Harmony Exhibition at the Saatchi gallery... all about birth of rave culture in UKdee-dubs - this is on BBC iPlayer at the moment tooFax_Benson
- Good film, so Brit immigrants do not rave at all or have any interest in it.robotron3k
- ^ Trust you to pointlessly bring up race Robotard.Hayzilla
- Did you watch the film? A white Brit shows religious ethnic Brit kids what they used to do for fun. And none of them seemed interested in the music.robotron3k
- It's a v.mixed classroom Robo. THe point of the doc is showing kids a v.important cultural time in Britain, it's an interesting way of looking at it. There havefadein11
- been a 100 boring 4 lads went off to Ibiza and brought ecstasy and house music back to England. And that's also not a v.accurate account, something this docfadein11
- addresses.fadein11
- I thought it was good, great footage, & more accurate too. It was interesting the kids were nonplussed about it, but the racial differences was interestingrobotron3k
- That poppin to Kraftworks Numbers song was out of control...robotron3k
- ha yes. it was a great watch. great he got in the northern foot patrol guys as well as they were into house music way before anyone else in the UK, but rarelyfadein11
- get a mention.fadein11
- this is a great (and more accurate account than the norm) of how the scene developed in the UKfadein11

- god I really should reread my sentences before clicking save.fadein11
- ah those were the days! profoundly miss that scene. A sense of togetherness, of one-ness of tolerance of multicultural kinship and love. sharing of music and_niko
- culture. I feel sad for these kids. so closed off. they have an us vs them mentality. they outwardly project their difference and remain outsiders. and for what_niko
- they're kids. general response in our school when I was that age to an artist showing a film about the acid-folk scene in the 60s would have been similarFax_Benson
- some would have been into it but most would have cringed and told him it's shit and he should be listening to EMFFax_Benson
- True but I don’t think these kids are into any scene, just study and prayers maybe? Missing that nihilistic comradery and reckless abandon lol_niko
- As soon as I saw the diversity in that classroom I knew some would focus on that rather than the point of the documentary.fadein11
- but that was the point of the documentary film makers, to show the contrast and to get a rise maybe? They do it in an overt fashion_niko
- get a rise from who? what are you talking about?fadein11
- it's simply putting a v.important cultural movement into political context. Presenting it to a new generation who didn't experience was an interesting way offadein11
- doing that. Like Fax said, their reactions were normal, they would have been the same decades ago. It wasn't trying to get a rise out of anyone.fadein11
- He's worked on similar projects for decades. His Acid brass band being a key one.

- watching the whole thing now, instead of jumping around and being reactionary I'll report back with my findings shortly lol._niko
- sorry, fade I'll have to disagree, the specific class the filmmakers chose and the constant clips of their reactions is just as important as the content_niko
- of the presentation, otherwise he could have presented it straight up as a documentary of EDM in the UK. The kids reaction is the driving force here i think._niko
- Yep the kids reaction is key to it, like I said before but not what colour they are or whether they are more into "study and prayers". That's a typicalfadein11
- classroom in many UK cities as it is across Europe and a lot of the US. So odd to focus on that.fadein11
- no true fade, watch at 39:40, "who here feels British" they could have went to a white classroom in the country. The girl doesn't trust white people_niko
- as much as she feels white people don't trust her. it's the point the film-makers are trying to make, back in the day we were much more inclusive and the music_niko
- is what helped bring people from all walks of life together._niko
- but a white classroom isn't a good representation of Britain in the 21st century. I mainly struggle with the idea that it was trying to get a 'rise' out offadein11
- someone. You are the first person I have heard mention that and this doc has been discussed a lot.fadein11
- But take what you will from it, the source material presented is way more important than the classroom context, I think that was just an interesting way offadein11
- presenting a major cultural movement to some young people completely unaware of it. It's a statement on where we are now compared to then I think.fadein11
- "rave was way more punk than punk"fadein11
- I agree, the source material is much more fascinating than the kids reactions. It feels like a reaction vid at times which is all about getting a rise out of us_niko
- ...geezers lol_niko
- ha, possibly. I just enjoyed seeing the queue I was in nearly every week for 2 years :)fadein11
- man, this is goodfeel
- Fade I've gone to a few Paradise Garage reunions in NYC, recently with Moroder as DJ those cats are in their 60s now and STILL cut shapes like no other...robotron3k
- Wish I'd been a little older to make it there before it closed. Larry all night long would've been fun.fadein11
- Go to Coney island any Saturday they set up on the boardwalk in the summer, you can't miss them grooving in the sun.robotron3k
