A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
--------------------------
FROM THE PRODIGY - TAKEN FROM THE "ONE LOVE" CD
-------------------------------------------------
Remember a few years ago ?
Remember the raves with the pumping bass, the volume at it's best, the
atmosphere kicking, the people friendly and free !
But then the police had to put their oar in, the government than have
their say, "Turn down the music, noise pollution". What a load of
bollocks. If you've been to the latest raves then you'll know the score.
What's going on ? You pay between 15-25 quid, queue up for about 45
minutes whilst having to put up with the old bill eyeing you up and down
as if you're some kind of mass murderer. And once you've been searched
and had your shoes and socks removed, you then walk into the grounds to
be met by thousands of police and the music at about 2 D.B.'s, you might
as well have bought your walkman.
At every large rave lately the department of health and environment are
there with their precious little toys called D.B. meters making sure that
the volume doesn't go above a certain level. For example, if you went to
Universe on 13/06/93, Resurrection on 14/08/93 or Living Dream 06/08/93
then you know what we mean.
All we can do is apologise to you all for the very bad sound quality,
but what can we do ? You can't blame the promoters because they are doing
an excellent job of bringing you the very best quality sound system
(even though you don't get to hear it at it's best) excellent lighting,
D.J's. You can't fault them. If they did try to turn up the volume then
the authorities have two methods of getting them to turn it down -
1, They can revoke the licence and close down the party and then ban
any further events by the offending organisation.
2, Impose ridiculous fines which could be in excess of 25,000 quid and
revoke any future licences.
Now you know ehy these events are becoming more and more of an effort to
go to, and why they're so quiet when you do. So there's no one left to
blame but the authorities. Bollocks to the authorities, you can't stop
us. We're gonna keep the dance scene strong even if the world isn't.
This is your day and no one can take it away from you.
The dance scene is far too big to just disappear.
RESPECT - LIAM, LEEROY, MAXIM, KEITH, MIKE (PRODIGY/MIDI)
