: : I think the bad press surrounding the drugs had a lot to do with the scene dying out. Plus the scene is changing and the youngsters of today maybe wanting to do something new!!

: : Oh yeh, and the government putting the clangers on the best parties!

: I think the bad press didnt do that much damage to the scene cos those that were doing it didnt care about that, or should I say I didnt know anyone who cared.
: I personally believe we all just grew up and when the scene changed we left in droves.
: There isnt that much of a take up amongst youngsters these days, cos the music isnt new, its nothing special these days. There aren't thousands of raves a year now, there are maybe a hundred if that. If you heard a tape of raindance now it would probably be all remixes of old tunes. no originality equals boring...
: I agree that the law did their best, but it was nothing to do with the law, if the music kept its originality the scene would still be strong..
yes i totally agree with this comment....we were all young....the scene was new.....everything was exciting.....the fuzz just made it more exciting....we felt like the original rebals with a cause.......todays scene is too mainstream too busy and complex......lets get back to basics here.....just a dark baron warehouse.....a couple of strobes and some good old fashioned basic acid house...i was at the tribal warehouse gig in manchester last august but i have to say that although i enjoyed it...it certainly was not the same......it never will be.....until the day comes that a reunion is invented organised by the original people for the original people....that vibe is lost never to be found again.....too many people ask why its dead but too few do anything about it......idea's please.....
