Lemonade Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 How great was the old school Rave music back in the early 90s? It was the first type of music that I properly got into, as a spotty teenager. Some of my favourite tracks back then:The Orb - Little Fluffy CloudsChimo Bayo - Xta-si Xta-noPraga Khan - Injected With A PoisonK-Klass - Rhythm Is A Mystery JX - Son Of A GunKicks Like A Mule - The BouncerBizarre Inc. - Playing With Knives Gloworm – I Lift My CupBassheads - Is There Anybody Out ThereThe Shamen - Move Any Mountain The Prodigy - Out Of Space Urban Hype - A Trip To TrumptonShamen - Ebeneezer GoodeBlack Box - Ride On TimeOceanic - InsanityLFO - LFOSL2 - On A Ragga TipCapella- U Got 2 KnowShades Of Rythmn - XctasyHuman Resource - DominatorRozalla - Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) Skin Up - A Juicy Red Apple Is NiceOrbita - ChimeProdigy - CharlieBaby D - Let Me Be Your FantasyKlf - 3amShaft - Rhubarb And CustardDream Frequency - Feel So RealXpansions - Move Your BodyFucking great choons. There's so many more that I can't remember the names of as well. Of course I was only about 13 and I didn't realise that most of the songs were about drugs, and wondered why my parents kept freaking out about me singing 'Ebeneezer Goode'.

I was quite into the scottish scene aswell due to reading a lot of M8 magazine, infact I found an M8 cover tape from 1994 recently when clearing out an attic with stuff like Q-Tex, QFX, Praga Khan & Jade 4 U etc on it. Forth FM used to do a really good weekly techno show playing all that stuff which I used to tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didz Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 To be fair i was a bit to young and missed the boat with rave, rave for me consisted of buying Bass Gen & Tom Wilson tapes from JFS and requesting Set Me Free at the school disco (followed by getting a feel of ass while slow dancing to the Lighthouse Family!) Good times, loved rave me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times, loved rave me!Aye I was a bitty young for it as well, I listened to it a lot, and had a shitload of bootlegged cassettes that had been handed round about a hundred times and you could hardly hear them for the hiss, but I was a bit young to be going out raving at 13.

I think that was his name, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Da break that min, its a alarm for when yer in the mountains ken, helicopters will come after ye an ahin min"I had that exact same Nevica, it complimented an adidas equipment blue jumper that i never had off, along with my reebok pumpz!

Think JFS still sell them...i had a classic green and blue three quarter one..Aye I heard that one too, if you hit it hard enough an alarm would go off and a search and rescue copter would come for you. I dunno if I believed it though, I remember feeling it and it just feeling like a bit of plastic and rubber.I too had the blue and green three quarter length. I also had a grey one.

britheguy Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 i liked some of the stuff. I remember standing in for the DJ one night and playing my 'I want to dance with somebody-Whitney joins the Jamms' to the local White Blouse-pink high heels Brigade...oh how I laughed as they tried to dance to it.

Le Stu Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 The female singer of that band was on my college course.That's rad. Was her name Gillian Tennant? I have their rekked somewhere. Saw them live at The Bishops in Elgin back in the day, but their dancer overheated and they were forced to flee (assholes wrenched the taps shut and turned the heating up, a common ploy to sell water and beer in those days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
