EEEK.  10k!!!  I guess raves are still pretty undergound here in the states.
Even more so in the state of Washington.  As far as I know, the biggest one
here was held on last 4th of July.  With about 5-6K people. (BTW this would
be in Seattle  :)  What funny though, just last Saturday (9-26) there were
two raves to pick.  One for 15$, and the other for 8$.  Of course, being
the cheap person I am, I chose the 8$ one.  Upon entering I shuddered.
There couldn't be more that 200 people max!  Not only that, but the
sound system kept going out, at exactly the same time that someone walked across
the stage.  Regardless, I had a pretty good time.  A few hours later the
attendance grew to about 1k, maybe.  I didn't stay too long anyway.  
If anyone is interested, the following -rave stars- have made their apperance
in Seattle.
Moby   -  awsome show.  the best by far.
Westbam  - all he did was mix.  but very excellent.  Interesting thing
about this one was that there was hardly NO publicity for this.  No more
than 200 people arrived!  (BTW this occured summer of 91)
D-shake - He played at the 4th of july.  Apparently he wasn't too thrilled.
I was hangin out in back, when I heard him buggin about 'when his beer was
gonna get here'.  He also was rushin on some X.

I forgot to add.  Westbam brother DJ dick played as well.

And now for something completely different.

If anyone is look for good compilations, here are some that may be worth while

Progressive Hardcore Volume 1. - Rising High Records   RSNCD2
Hypnotist - The House is Mine (Westbam Remix) 6.16
Irresistible Force - Underground 6.06
Signs of Chaos - You Can't Stop It 6.31
Whitehouse - Atom Heart 6.13
RHC - Possession 5.15
Knight Phantom - What'
s the Situation 5.21
C of E - Church of Extacy (Confess to Acid Remix) 6.46
The Vision - Perpetual Motion 6.32
Industrial High - Militant Core 5.31
RHC - Come Fly with Me 7.47
The Hypnotist - A Modern Prometheus 6.32
Interface - Serious 5.00
ttl time - 73.38

I just got this one and I like it alot.  Almost half of the track are produced
by the guy from the Hypnotist.  He is involved in Whithouse, RHC, Industrial
High, and of course the Hypnotist.  UR has alot to do with The Vision.  These
tracks keep a fairly fast pace.

Other disks, but somewhat old are

The Dance Sampler 4th Chapter
   -This one ranks 'ok'.  I don't know why I like speedy j's pullover, I just
    do.

Technoworld Volume 2  DCD 90 31102
   -A double disk with a bunch of decent tracks.

I remember someone mentioning the Serious Beats...

All I have is Serious Beats Volume 1.  But there are 5 volumes.
   -At the time, this was excellent.  But as time moves on it has lost its
    shine.  Contains some good stuff though.  Classic.

So that does it for me.  But before I go just a bunch of short Q's.
For Seattle folk--How was Planet Party?
Is Twitch a compliation?  If so how can one buy it?
If anyone can get 808 State to play a gig in Seattle, please do so.  There are
   LOTS of fans here.  LOTS!

Later Days!
