Friday night in Singapore 2024! Saluting all the old school ravers still alive ;) Let's make some f*****g noise!!

[@ErinScope]

We were so lucky to grow up in this time . The underground tapes and vinyl..... Like owning gold. The last great musical generation .

[@Alexanster]

What's a musical generation in that sense?

@@Alexanster A generation defined by its musical genre or genres .

[@MsSpoilsport]

Used to blare this out of the then boyfriends Vauxhall Cavalier back in the day! Still have this on cd somewhere. Currently blasting it out in the kitchen dancing with my toddler. ❤️

[@darrenshannon4519]

I was 12 years old when this shit happened. I wish I was old enough to go and have probably one of the best experiences of my young adult life. I got a taste of the Rave seen when it was dying off, that was something special for me, I can only imagine just how amazing it would of been when it was brand new and the whole country was doing it. Wonderful!

[@dirtycharlatan9746]

Makes the hair on my back stand up and brings a tear to my eye. How I wish I was stuck in this era and how we can never go back there.😢

[@rnoodbuc]

These tunes were so beautifully produced. (Unlike overcompressed dance music of today). A pleasure to listen to, as it was back in the day!

[@MrRobertFarr]

What does over compressed mean please ? (Hi from Plymouth).

[@nikharrison]

@@MrRobertFarr It means too loud. The highest peaks of the audio clips are squished down and then the audio is turned up so even the quiet parts are loud.

[@MrRobertFarr]

@@nikharrison That's interesting ! I heard the phrase : 'Compression on the microphone ' before. I wonder how that is achieved during a live performance as potentially, the vocalist could scream really loud and damage folks ears . When , I was recording some music, I used to sit in front of volume indicator lights , unfortunately my Tascam Portastudio. 4 track device wire out though.

[@russelledwards001]

Some of them are ok, a few are really good and some pure garbage. And a lot of production back then was terrible!

[@ryanisstuckin93]

​​@@russelledwards001You couldn't expect much better when people were banging out tunes on a dodgy old amstrad computer in their bedrooms. It was part of the charm. Some of my favourite old tunes do sound very tinny or distorted though. The production quality on this album is actually very good for 1992.

[@poontang8895]

I had the VHS tape of this rave, it got ‘ vanished ‘ during life , moving house etc. To listen to it again in the dark through headphones... shit , really touched me, brought back so many great memories, great days , when I wasn’t walking around on crutches, needing spinal surgery. Was emotional, thank you 🙏

[@ryanisstuckin93]

I hope you are recovered dude. I've had leg problems for a while that cause pain, I can only imagine how debilitating spinal problems are.

[@23lnp]

I dont know you but just want to wish you all the happiness and good health you can possibly get my friend ❤️👍🏼

[@TheMonty1994]

It’s on KZbin dude, I’m on it 😂 Fantazia Showcase 1992.

[@FunkyTomo]

Ah yes I remember the rave vid too... My mate Steve Rajewski had it at his house . We used to play it and party there when his mum was out at pub. We were 13/14. Good times man!!!!

[@FunkyTomo]

And sorry to hear about your back . Hope the doc is giving you proper pain relief. If not try Kratom.

[@DJAndeKarmaRecordings]

What a period for hardcore music absolutely amazing!!

[@reverendscumlord9007]

I bought this in Plymouth when I was about 14, big trip up with my mate to spend birthday money, clear memory playing this through headphones sitting on the train home destroying my eardrums hearing proper rave tunes for the first time, the warhammer space marines I'd bought lost their entire value, life changed, you can guess the rest.

[@l0renz062]

Love it lol I was imperial Guard …..I bought this on video then in 1993 when I was 17 Fantazia came to Glasgow (The Big Bang) me & my best mate rip Ricky went to our first & definitely not last RAVE WHoooooooooooooooHooooooooooooo

[@leolicursi4852]

This was classic every raver had this

[@FunkyTomo]

Lol :)

[@joseluiseransmartinez7450]

Great job

[@user-zm5lo5zl3g]

Still one of the best albums ever released!!! Busy dancing like a maniac !! Wow was it that long ago?!

[@ukgforze]

Back in the day rave sets/albums were usually vinyl or tape & sold in underground record shops, I remember this being sold in Woolworths on CD, back then i was like wtf!!! I have it on tape vinyl & CD still one of my favorite albums 25yrs on :)

[@damelzat5309]

Forze I can't even remember where I got it on tape, I was like, 13! I made a point of buying it direct from their website on cd a few years ago. I was buzzin when it arrived. Brought a tear to my eye! 😭

[@ac26187]

Yes I remember this era, Our Price had only just launched a 'dance music' section - they were too nervous to call it rave. Very limited choices, it was this, and if you were lucky Kaos Theory compilations and a few things on XL recordings.

[@ryanisstuckin93]

Got it on tape too, and Twice as Nice. Even got the nipple cover for tan which got changed due to censorship.

[@emilyhall5531]

This comment made my life

[@mrbrownz554]

I was 13 or 14 when I bought this on tape one Saturday in Falkirk inshops. I put it in my personal stereo and found what I'd been looking for......rave daze were here!!!

[@tokyohands]

My older sister had this blasting out of her room in 1992 and I had to go out to find some raves. This album totally got me in to raving.

[@peterunderwood203]

love i did also

[@Cregtech]

Oh the memories. life was so much more care free and easier back then ♥️

[@lifeinmotion3339]

As I was 12 years old when this music entered my head with the prodigy first ever sound that I grew up from. Out of space being the first.. I’ve not ever looked back. Such feeling and passion in the music back then. I still live in that era today. Best time zone to be in. ✌🏼🫶🏼

[@Butleybadboy]

Still going that's 90,s 🎶 rave on

[@wayne4097]

I remember banging this on vinyl on my older cousins decks and I couldn't stop listening to it. Id say this got me into the rest of the UK scene music but never forgot the roots of where it all started

[@damelzat5309]

Had the tape in the 90s, have the cd in the car today. Still proper fresh! Love it.

The album and the video of this was mental. Rock to the max always used to get me charging. Can't ever get these times back 😢

[@RunOfTheHind]

I had (still have) the cassette and VHS (live footage from The Showcase) of this in '92 as a 12 year old, and they ended around the 45 min mark of this vid. Hardly any of the album is my style (pretty much just Worldwide Epidemic (i.e. a pandemic, lolz)) and yet I loved and love every song. Even today, a tear comes to my listening to this. Every song on Side 2 sounds like a perfect album closer song, but then they come one after the other, making the whole side the perfect closer.

[@420Farmer7]

This was the first rave tape I ever bought and my rave life grew from there, I’m so glad I was born when I was

[@NDSKOSTHEORY]

This was brought out in connection with The Showcase in Bath, 27/11/92 as most of the tracks were played or PA’s performed them..... what a great night it was and my fourth Fantazia event, all awesome and the China Whites helped a lot...... had been part of the scene religiously every weekend since mid 1988...... within a year of this event the scene had become fragmented and full of plastic ravers and rip off artists..... Peace. Love. Unity. Respect was the ethos that the movement was based upon and not to mention the extortionate price of a night out compared to the free parties of the early days !!! 👌👌👌🐝💤🐝💤🐝💤🌈😎

[@TheMonty1994]

4ND13S K4OS THEORY I was there that night, in fact I’m in the video, which is on KZbin 'Fantazia Showcase'. What a night, I didn’t sleep for four days ! What you say is right, I felt exactly the same, this was right at the end of the scene as it was. It went commercial soon after. When people were raving on 'Hitman and Her', the game was well and truly up.

[@NDSKOSTHEORY]

TheMonty1994 I’m on most of the 1992/3 Fantazia videos as I was a stage dancer..... I’m in the red puffer waistcoat with a ponytail but you can see me in the other event footage..... we were living the best year of my life in 92 but the scene became everything it shouldn’t have been and what it was not meant to be about..... saw my first rave fight and another friend robbed of a bag of pills by a Rasta in a long raincoat with a machete..... inside the NYD 1993 event at Obsession in Wormelowe (1/1/93) and knew then that it was a downward spiral from there on in ..... and we had such high hopes for a better world with rich and poor, black and white of all classes as one in a rush of peace love unity and most of all mutual respect ✌️✌️✌️🌈🌈🌈🤪😜😛😝🤩😎
