cholo_40 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Last night I saw the "other" movie about the scene. The movie was a documentary style movie with a large amount of dj's being interviewed about the culture, spirituality, bonding, dancing, and business of the rave scene. It takes you from the very conception of Acid House in Europe to the Hardcore of today. Although the trip the movie takes you on seems to drag on a bit at the end, it is a movie you should see if the scene has effected your life. DJ's that were interviewed, to only name a few, were Carl Cox, Crystal Method, Keoki, BT, Roni Size, and many more. The rave scenes were done very well, and the music went perfectly with the interviews and dancers.If I had to make a negative comment on the film, it would be that it was a little too long and repetitive. How many different ways can you hear a dj describe the scene? The movie could have been called "How many adjectives I can use to describe the rave scene." But other than that is was informative and all in all a good movie.If anyone else has seen it, I'd like to discuss it with you.------------------Keep it movin'!Corporatedjcorporate@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Turns out the movie was released in New York for only a week. I hope it comes back again or least hit the video circuit soon. They need to promote it more.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I saw it when it first came out 2 weeks ago..and I liked it alot. I would much rather see a documentary film like this about electronic music than a "hollywood-ized" film about it...(although, I did see Human Traffic and it was F***&^^%ing hilarious)Maybe it was more interesting to me cause I first started liking electronic music back in 89-90...back in the day of the british "acid-house" raves and the 140BPM and up techno..and the first 12" I ever bought was a Moby remix..brought back memories...I also was pleasantly surprised when I heard the music of Electric Skychurch..had heard of them, but never their music before. Now I am not a huge goa fan, but I would def. check them out after now...-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
