The Asylum/Oldskool thread

That clip reminded me of the time i was on TV @ MTV Dance @ The Ormond Multimedia Centre around 1996, never forget it,basically seen a poster advertising this and asking people to go for auditions for dancing to be part of the crowd, so i went along with some female friends of mine one evening and we got picked,basically the whole thing was to be filmed for MTV from 7.30pm until 10.30pm when it ended and the normal Ormond nite went ahead, i was all excited and told everyone including family that i was gonna be on TV, i got all dressed up as well compared to the usual jeans,runners and t-shirt i usually wore raving.

So the nite kicks off i cant for the life of me remember who was playing but the music was brilliant,there was no yokes to be got and everyone was looking,i had none myself but didn't plan on taking any until then filming had stopped anyway, anyway this bird i know came over to me and said she had 300 doves and was selling them,long story short but anyone who was looking for them i sent them her way, she came over every now and then and handed me a few for sending people her way, i couldn't resist and ended up getting a few into me, ended up i got about 150 probably more sold for her so she gave me a total of 10 yokes for myself and bought me a few drinks, by now id done 6 and was mad out of it, rushing off me tits top off giving it the big one, id completely forgotten about the camera and was having a great nite, ended up doing 9 altogether that nite and was completely mad out of it but had a deadly nite.

I'd more or less forgotten about the programme and i actually missed it when they showed it the following week on MTV, the week after i was after being in The Temple Of Sound and went back to a party and there was a big cheer when i walked in, i didn't know what was going on and everyone was breaking their bollix laughing, someone then pressed play on the video recorder and paused it and showed me with me top off gurning like a mother fcuker eyes like saucers, i was like :eek::o id completely forgotten about the camera being there, the clip only shows me for like 3/4 seconds but i was praying no one from my family would see it, i got some slagging over it that nite, every now and then someone would put the tape in and pause it again:o i looked a right state, luckily for me no one from my family seen it but my ma and uncle did ask me when it was on i told them it was on already but i didn't manage to get on the camera so that was that but if they'd have seen me i can only imagine the shock they would've had:D mad nite, was anyone at this nite?:pac::D

Excellent track Derra. :cool:

Lads,

Anyone know where they came up with the logo for the Asylum and was there any particular significance in it?

Cheers,

Mad, I don't remember the mirror and I would always be up on the balcony for a few laps on a mission and would deffo stop and look down on the dance floor when the green laser was going, used to love as it moved up/down the dance floor and you would catch glimpses of all these green faces through the smoke.

I must dig out the Prodigy Experience, "Death of a Prodigy Dancer" was my fav, always hoped to hear it when i was in the Ballroom.

Also mad about the Altern 8 Full On Masked Hysteria album, some classic stuff on that:)

Cheers,
Mick

Any of you remember the large mirror in the back corridor upstairs on the balcony in the Olympic. It was directly behind the Lazer lights set up. There you would go to check to see if your eyes were like saucers. The impatience was unbelievable, 'Am I up yet'. Goofing into the mirror. Even if you didn't feel a thing, if your pupils were big that was good enough, a rush would soon follow. There would be loads of people at the same trick. Then you would talk shi.te to the guy who controlled the lazers, he was a dry sh.ite.
The view from that spot was unreal, especially when the hall was dark and the green and blue lazers would scan the large hall like search lights through the clouds of smoke being pumped out ino the Olympic:p
I should really snap out of it:D

Here is a track you would take in whilst hanging over the balcony taking it all in, a great track from the proper early days in the Ballroom and if you weren't there you probably wouldn't believe that this track was banged out week in week out.

Thanks AsylumKey. Haven't got around to downloading the archive yet. On a dial up modem here

I'd done a bit of reading up on the pentacle before but I couldn't figure out the significance of the key. I thought it was anar-key. Could be...

Cheers,

Happy Christmas to all you Ravers.

I'm out of here and wont be back online until the New Year, so keep the uploads to a minimum:p

Thanks to everyone for all the great tunes and memories from my Raving days:D

Enjoy the holidays.
