yeah it wasnt dat good.
they were tryin to connect western dance culture to trible beginings ie aborigines dancein around fire. (now we have lasers) its something in side of us that makes us want to dance for hours...
they say that modern "dance culture" has gone back to that but with less complicated beats...
they even compared it christainity and other religions! wow how christains celebrate the soul not the body so in the past dance was hard! but other religions like buddism celebrate the body n dance comes natural... blah blah
the footage was of a duuf rave in the bush.. i think outside melbourne? n the big event might be "big day out". i have never seen or heard of those DJ's b4.
overall it tried to bring a point bout y we dance......
4 those dat missed it.. it wasnt much...

no names????? ummmm....
GROOVE ARMADA: hardly a no-name!!! international household names, not to mention excellent producers.
JOHN 00 FLEMING: a huge name in the clubbing world.
STEPHEN ALLKINS: a really big name in the melbourne clubbing scene.
and as for your comments about the events, the psytrance party was EARTHCORE, and heaps of footage from GATECRASHER and GODS KITCHEN (both in melbourne)
it was nice to see an show that did not feature the drug use in the scene, and took a totally different perspective, but i would've liked to have seen more input from punters and less from professors and outsiders.
you guys have to remember that it was a melbourne-based show and there is practically NO hardcore scene down there. essentially, and i know i'm gonna get crucified for saying this, but hardcore isn't really an essential part of dance music culture, which is what the show was about. it wasn't supposed to be
drugs is not the answer... drugs? is the question... yes is the answer

I watched a bit of the show and I find it hard to agree with many of the comments that were made, but, then how do you justify to the general population the purpose of getting off your face and dancing all night. I mean the connection between christianity and rave culture is really going too far. How do the "communities" at raves resemble that of a congregation. There is no worship of a God, although many DJs ( in their manic moments) would like to think they are God. There is not that loving community that is characteristic of a christian congregation, otherwise Anna Wood would still be alive today. To compare the dance culture with other religions such as christianity and tribal cultures is flawed. I start to wonder if any of the commentators on the documentary have ever been to a parte.
