I think what the Daily Record ,and other papers of the genre mean ,is that
'Rave' ,in the popular sence of the word ,ie.. paying #20 quid for 'EarthQuake'
A lot of 25-30 year old people ,who just missed the acid scene of yesteryear
,are all saying that rave is dead also ,baecause their only exposure to it is
either the charts ,or at popular nightclubs where 2-unlimited is the standard....

	Wahheyy! All that good 'ol Italian stuff brings it all back .... nice 120
bpm grooves ,a delicious vocal ,and when people hugged each other for real in the
clubs ... the tunes are coming back in ,so now all we need is the songs again : 
real ones ,not just the odd looped line ,but whole songs encouraging love ,peace
,and the optimum atmosphere .... 

Anyone remember 'Raise' - Substance on the Boys Own label (the first single i 
think??). Or how about the Old Tyrell Corporation ones ,on the creation label ,I
think they were the original ones to do the sort of "now relax .... feel your
muscles loosten up ..... (lots of panting sex sounds ....etc)..."
That was REAL ecstatic music ,and I challenge everyone to argue that Agressive
Techno does more than that !!

Kirk , seen as how everyone is on this vein after my "Guru Josh" remark , 
are you going to tell us just who Janet is ????????
