- 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)
