Madison WI here. I think raves are still going on in barns in the north part of the state... I remember hitting a few parties in random barns along Interstate 90 on my way to or from Minneapolis... Somewhere near Eau Claire. If you're asking about drugs ("get what you want to take with you") then yes. I can get anything I want LOL... Just have to ask the right person. Different people can get me different things. I have to admit, Tim, I was an e-kid at one point. And I did care :) I heard music in a way that I'd never heard it before, and now I appreciate Orb even more. I convinced a few very close friends that the Orb was probably the best electronic music act since <insert band name here>. And they now are devoted fans... Although we're all off the drugs at this point. There are still raves but they are VERY hard to come by. -B On 3/15/05 11:10 AM, "Tim C" <timc_orb@charter.net> wrote:
Now I'm envious that you got to see the legendary early-90s gigs - I hadn't guite gotten into electronic music in '92! At least I caught the tail end of raving (in the US) before it really started getting shut down. Which brings me to question for listers in general - where are you in the world and are raves still going on? Can you get what you want to take with you in? Good music/vibe or brainless music for e-kids that don't care? Like I say, in many parts of US (Phoenix being most recent big city I was in, where things really went down the toilet), the rave scene has just died.
