Of course I remember it, along with Rhubarb & Custard and
all the other stupid shite released at the same time.

lol...after Prodigy released Charly there was a glut of
"rave tunes" that sampled either adverts or childrens
programmes or worn out TV presenters. Commonly referred to
as toytown techno by myself and others like me, it destroyed
the rave scene.

Because rave was never popular states side you probably got
shielded form shit like the Terry Wogan jungle track...sadly
whenever a new form of music starts to gain acceptance by
commerical radio all of a sudden shit kiddie takes on the
style are made which destroys it credibility and forces it
back underground. Drum and Bass is the perfect example.

And what about IDM? Will this happen (or is it already
happening) to IDM too or is this genre just 'too weird' to
be exploited?

I'm curious...

I am 25 now...I still have a lot of the old stuff on
cassette in storage (by that I mean they are in a box
somewhere in the roof of my house). I couldn't tell you the
artists names because I hated them that much I never
bothered finding out :)

Of the rave that did make it into the charts, have you ever
heard the original Sweet Harmony by Liquid (I think they did
a remix in 95 which wasn't as good) that is one of my
favourites tunes of that era. Also I quite liked SL2 - On A
Ragga Tip (again the original)...damn I remember so many
tunes from back then but I can't remember the names...I was
only about 11 at the time so I only managed to go to about 3
warehouse parties when my mates brother would let us go
along in his car :D

Nah, IDM is too closely related to dance to ever have that
happen...if you make a commerical IDM tune it just sounds
like regular dance music :)

What the Americans had as rave wasn't what we had, I am
talking about meeting up at motorway service stations to
find out where there was going to be a party in a disused
warehouse :D

I have lived in England my whole life but I did move away to
Sheffield for 4 years when I was 17 :)

Let me see if I still have the cassettes first, if I have I
would be very interested in swapping some old shit :D

92-98 was huge here on the west coast for parties.
everything from the dirt field and warehouse parties to the
big 30,000 people dancing like mad.

raves were huge on the west coast, from TJ to Vancouver and
everywhere in between.

They banned any parties that had repetative beats...I forget
what the law was called but it prohibited the use of
repetative music in open places or something like
that...that was what the prodigy / pwie track was on music
for the gilted and the Flutter (I think it was called that)
by Ae.

Rhubarb & Custard was good purely because mark pritchard's
royaties from that track helped fund the first Reload ep's.
