Quadrant Park , Bootle, Liverpool - 1990?
you just don't experience those levels of energy en masse on a night out anymore,
Bootle... a place I used to visit often
flashback to standing outside the Strand, scene of the notorious abduction of a toddler, looking at the pub Stella Maris, where on the other side of the road , on the left, was some "hard to let" social housing ( "section 8" for our cousins across the sea ) where I used to have to step over smacked out scallies who'd just nicked their mother's sewing machine while they weighed out their "Q" of brown, a slow plod avoiding the pools of puke trudging up several flights of stairs where we'd finally end up in a flat where we'd score "sputnik" in an empty room which was echoing with the sound of the trains that whizzed by on their way to Lime Street
"good times"
and then E hit Liverpool but by then I was living in Manchester and I missed out on ever visiting the Park, and although I did have an opportunity to go there was a dilemma which I've described before and i probably did the morally right thing by not going, but still, I harbour regrets that I missed out on a night of xtreme intensity invoked by such shoddy mixing of pop house combined with ultra superlative mdma derivatives
edit: even the gaps between the notes get a cheer, hard to convey the intensity of the original raves to ...people maybe younger than me.... [ sigh ]

in terms of the timbres used, I really see a great parallel between here and:
at least the parts of the scouse I'm interested in: the shortgated dotted tacky preset leads, rhythms are different, but the sound is very much the same.
not into the post-vocal uk hardcore bits as much

i remember those guys - had a 12" by them back in the day. They were all over the place stylistically. Actually played in greenville, sc in 92.
It was ruthless back then

1985
This was when it was getting really dark. Maybe not musically and this sounds slow tbh, but the mood was mad then
The photos before they knocked it down are odd. Looks like it's in the middle of nowhere, like one of those old medieval towers dotted round the countryside.
That's just a funny angle there's a b&q across the road
