@@MissB-mk9tj thanks for positing this. When I was at college I went to the Blackburn raves with my buds from college, we were a mixed bunch and nobody gave a shit we just all had a great time being young.

kirsty harkness yuppies had cell fones back then ;) i seen an estate agent with a laptop and was amazed by the nipple fing for a mouse in the keybord... now u can get a genetically engineered mouse and use its actual nipples to controll ur computer
For those who don't know the story behind the video. There was a club in Stoke on Trent called the leisure Bowl. It had club nights called Shelley 's and Entropy. One night when the club had finished Altern8 turned up in the car park on the back of an articulated lorry and started playing, until the police showed up. That's what's recorded in this video
I was a barman there 93~94, Friday rave nights I poured pints of ‘filtered’ (tap 😂) water for £1, Saturday rock nights pints of diesel (cider+lager+blackcurrant). It was so hot in the club on rave nights that most ravers wore swimwear and carried their notes on their hips, so at the end of the night we rush down to dance floor and pick up the lost notes 😅
Oh mate, I had this on cassette too! I wore that shit out I played it that much 🤣 me & my cousins made up dance routines to this as I was about 10 at the time, and we showed all the parents our dance routines at family gatherings 🤣 love Altern 8
I remember this choon on Top of the Pops... followed by SL2 on a ragga tip ...and The prodigy Charlie says always tell your mummy before you go somewhere :-) i was 13 . My sister 7 yrs older than me so i had them all recorded dodgy cassette tapes recorded over ... used to stick tissue in the top bits.. anyone else from that era should know what im on about ..i must recorded over so many of my mums tapes ...she was vexed when i recorded over Hot chocolate... high fringes perms shell suits and sovereign rings on every finger ' proper ard' lol
hahaha my story exactly! but it was my sister's tapes I used to tape over which pissed her off lol she wasn't into rave music which I don't think ever changed because I continually fucked her off with my loud playing and destroying her tunes ahaha I feel like a kid again thanx :D
How on earth can Altern 8 be a 'bad choice' of group to represent the early 90's??? Mark archers one of the most underated producers of all things 808/303 based acid house & detroit techno & still plays bangin sets to this day! He's been there since day 1 under other guises too such as nexus 21 & produced house classics & nu skool breaks too. The dust mask & chemical war fare suit was essential wear in 91/92 for many of us who 'knew the score' & such an huge iconic part of that much celebrated & loved old skool 'rave' scene....ardcore will never die!!!!!.... ;)
RELICS92 Considering electro albums were hardly promoted at this point in time, I was amazed with this one. Their album was a masterpiece. Anyone remember the album C.O.D.E.S by Bassheads. I had no idea they released one until I found it by accident on vinyl.
I remember going to a christening in 91 and after we went back to the families place ,a mate had a few Rhubarbs and we necked them leaving the church .when we got back to our mate gaff we were flying and the only music we had was an Altern 8 tape which was played over and over again as we went mental in a communal garden .Much to the amusement of the neighbours .best baptism ever !
Born in 1973, came into this in 1992 off of a backdrop of Skinny Puppy, NIN, Ministry, and then I discovered The Prodigy and my world did change, my only regret not seeing them live, Altern-8 the real deal and seemingly timeless. I just hope everyone can find the joy and ecstasy in this music!!
Absolutely brilliant, strange how I sort of took this sort of music for granted at the time but now seems an absolute golden age!!!! Chemically enhanced nights, oh the memories!!!!
I hear you loud and clear. I was in my early 20s when that shit was fresh and thank God for TH-cam for bringing it all back and keeping the memory alive. It is harder for me than you because I was THERE and I can't believe the shit that is around now.
Why don't they ban all the new shit and bring back this sound... I can imagen all radio stations would pump up rave and happy hardcore all day... would be perfect!
Let's ravers unite and get this rave classic to number 1 for Christmas. It would be amazing to have a 1991 rave tune occupying the top slot. The early 90s was the best ever era for dance music.
well said Mike Wraight, same here, and being a Stafford lad myself seeing these around our home town was so good, you were either Altern 8 or Bizarre inc in Stafford at the time and it was our time to shine
This is the track/that started it for me. Every Friday after school we would rush to the local record shop to pick up the latest stuff. The DJ that was there told us, "you got 2 pick this LP up man" Smashing, one of the best recommendations.
Jamie Davies no take them with your mates and magic mushrooms will make you laugh your bollox off, you don't see stupid things like people say, little green men or pink elephants and shit, everything's the same just distorted, like your brain is playing tricks on you
Its Jamie Davies after taking magic mushrooms will I go into weird world that doesn't exist with loads of horrible mixed up things that I've never seen before in my life codeamenel mate?
Jamie Davies no nothing like that, say you're looking at something still, it will look like its slightly moving, sort of wavy. colours look stronger. people look like they don't belong in the background, imagine a badly photoshopped photo where the person looks like they've Been super imposed onto another picture. Patterns on things like wallpaper are wavy and look different etc. You lose concept of time, I once spent an hour an a half lying on my bed, head flat on the mattress because what in reality was about 30cm to the wall, looked like a desert stretching for miles and miles, thought I'd only been there 2 minutes until my mates came back with weed they'd gone to score
Ah Dreamscape 1, vicks Vaporub & a few good pill's down my gregory U Have Made some 1 Very Very Happy shout goes out 2 who uploaded this as its brought back some very fond memories Things i had 4gotten bout til now Once again nice 1 : - ) .
O my days, this brings some memories flooding back. Went to see these in Manchester live set I remember them playing the rest of the night spent mashed 🤪
Staffs lads, i'm from Stoke mesen....we only used shelley's to get dropped drugs the day after, i was more an Entropy boy (Longton bus station-search for it)...but Altern-8 were fuckin mint....
Do you remember Introspective at the back of the bus station in The Princess Suite on a Friday night? I discovered rave here in '89. Quality memories :)
Hope this re-introduction of rave to the masses may re-introduce this sort of music to the mainstream generally. This sort of music needs to come back. Today's chart is such crap. Proof indeed: lots of it is all old songs!

life was simple back then! no cell phones, no internet, no email.. just sick flyers,music and mates..
Couldn't have said it better myself pal !!
Sick on E haha.
I had a cell phone.
iamkamsai thanks for comenting coz u made me remember all the sick flyers. people wud plaster there walls in them. i had curtains hair cut and a world dance record bag as a school bag. we need to spin it back and go again from 91 coz fings went pear shaped since

Ingenious. Is it just me or did people get along better and have more fun back then?
Definitely, and often it was a mixed crowd (i.e., straight/gay).
Ecstasy played a big part in the whole experience and vibes... Never be a time like that again... Shame.. but what memories 🤪
That is why it was destroyed. More money in conflict than togetherness.
Precisely why the authorities were against it
Yes, early rave culture was very reminiscent of the hippie era. Everyone welcome, just dance and have fun.
Born in 74, 16 in 1990. Need I say more 😉😍
These outfits look like just the thing for parties right now.
Scott Manley hey Scott 🎠 ;)
Scott are you an old raver?
Hey Scott back once again 🤗
Haha borris would be so proud :)
Did not expect to see a Scott Manley comment here. Double dropping, tunes and burning retrograde.
For those who don't know the story behind the video.
There was a club in Stoke on Trent called the leisure Bowl. It had club nights called Shelley 's and Entropy. One night when the club had finished Altern8 turned up in the car park on the back of an articulated lorry and started playing, until the police showed up. That's what's recorded in this video
shelleys was around the corner from the leisure bowl
they were different clubs
still, two epic clubs situated around the corner from each other
I was a barman there 93~94, Friday rave nights I poured pints of ‘filtered’ (tap 😂) water for £1, Saturday rock nights pints of diesel (cider+lager+blackcurrant). It was so hot in the club on rave nights that most ravers wore swimwear and carried their notes on their hips, so at the end of the night we rush down to dance floor and pick up the lost notes 😅
Absolutely! I'd give anything just to have one more night in 1992! The best times ever in dance music. It just ain't the same anymore.
my mum bought me this on cassette for my 12th birthday then took it off me the next day after hearing me play it all night
Love it!
Man I just laughed at that for about 15 minutes. 😂😂😂
Good job you had Heroquest too.
Oh mate, I had this on cassette too! I wore that shit out I played it that much 🤣 me & my cousins made up dance routines to this as I was about 10 at the time, and we showed all the parents our dance routines at family gatherings 🤣 love Altern 8

Hahaha the classic tissue in the top of the tape 👍
Marry Me 😂
Tissue in the tops. Definitely did that, but quickly moved onto clear sellotape over the holes 👍🏿
tissue? you did it the hard way! sellotape over the square holes in the top of the tape did the trick!
This song is so strong that I can taste the acid. I can only imagine what it was like when this track dropped in the 90s.
LSD has no taste. If it's bitter it's a spitter
Quality tune tho yes it is
Ha ha. It was top! Set a precedent you all follow
🖑🙃🖐
It was fucking out of this world..
Still go nuts when this is dropped ;)
By far the best decade of music, everyone got along as it was purely about the music
And the druugs.

Miss the 90's music so much coming out of the U.K. !
So much going on in this track, speaks so much of the time. Absolutely T for tremendous
Oldies alwys best .. I remember partying with these in Leeds and club got raided we all carried on upstairs hahah 🤫🤫🤫🥳🥳🥳🥳💙❤💯🤣👊🥳🤫🤫🤫
Why don't they ban all the new shit and bring back this sound... I can imagen all radio stations would pump up rave and happy hardcore all day... would be perfect!
create your own realm, take a badass sound system and do a rave in a desolated building
Exactly!!! The 90s fuckin' rocked!!! There is absolutely no equivalent today...God I miss the old skool days!!!
So cool how it’s like an off-beat emphasis, can really hear it in the violin part and see it in the dancing, they have a great sense of rhythm
Best days of rave music. Top tune 👊
Let's ravers unite and get this rave classic to number 1 for Christmas. It would be amazing to have a 1991 rave tune occupying the top slot. The early 90s was the best ever era for dance music.
I remember coming out of shelly's to this madness.Then going Sandbanch services,must of been 500 people there,2am was way too early.
Takes me back to the era of the "Global Hypercolour" T-Shirts. Who else remembers them? Seems like yesterday.............
I had a purple one that turn neon pink.
i just got an old tshirt and threw some bleach on it and pretended i had one
my brother brought me one back from the states in 1991...always good to let people know where your sweatiest parts were.
well said Mike Wraight, same here, and being a Stafford lad myself seeing these around our home town was so good, you were either Altern 8 or Bizarre inc in Stafford at the time and it was our time to shine

“Come with me ! Tonight’s the night !” 🙌🏻❤️

Wow I love this tune so much!
Brings back memories. Camber weekender, jack n jills everywhere, happy people, atmosphere that can't be repeated.
This song reminds me of taking pills and going to raves as a teen!
Insightful!
