Excellent documentry about Rave Culture and Ecstasy first shown in 1995, i seen it back then and it's well worth watching.

EQUINOX examines the rave experience from the technological point of view; the music, the lighting, the new video technology and the ... all » neuroscience of ecstasy, the drug that is an integral part of the rave scene.



A technological view of the rave scene. Looks at American research on the longterm effects of ecstasy (MDMA) on the brain neurotransmitter serotonin. Dr Charles Grob of UCLA studies its use in therapy. Alexander Shulgin, the `father of ecstasy' creates psychoactive drugs in his garden-shed lab. Charts the evolution of rave and its technology. Moves from 3000 teenagers in an aircraft hangar in Kent, via an Orbital show in Amsterdam to 1000 techno-hippies in the Nevada desert.

Examines the science and technology of the rave experience, considering the effects of the music, the lighting, new video technology and the neuroscience of the drug ecstasy.

"i seen it back then"

The correct grammar is "I SAW it back then", you neanderthal. Obviously all that ecstacy has damaged your brain, which is probably only used for headbutting people anyway.

I had never seen this before, good documentary. Although I kinda found it hard to take serious what with Tom Baker narrating. Just kept thinking of Little Britain and Brasseye too for reason.

Thanks for posting Jonny. I'm very interested in stuff like this, especially the effect of mdma and it's stance within the dance scene today and more importantly it's place in the future of dance music and the state it will leave us all in...who knows! OK I'll shut up and watch it.
