i never went to the olympic,the majority of olympic tracks ive heard i dont like, olympic wudnt of been my cuppa tea at all,just not that into big vocal tracks with lots of piano

Thats fair enough man.It's like Stomp says the music may seem cheesey,but back then it was new and fresh.As i've mentioned before i was only in the Olympic once for 1 hour and thats 1 regret i have that i did'nt get to experience it more.Just the way things worked out for me.But as i'm sitting here listening to that tri - core track i can just imagine that being played in the olympic.Man just listen to the start of that track.It's like you can feel the rush commencing in the tip of your big toes as the track starts.It works it's way up tru your veins from toe to head (i'd prefer to say head to toe it sounds better ) until an amazing rush of adrenaline is released,then the piano kicks in and it's like a surge and your body is just lifted from it's feet and into the air and you fly.See this type of music is very uplifting and thats the type of stuff that was played in the olympic.More of a rave type feeling i would say.Were as the music in the Asylum was much darker more sinister much more intense.Very trancey but uplifting at the same time in a different way (thats the way it was for me in anyways)I used to find in the Asylum you would close your eyes and fall into trance and at some stage during the track,say maybe after the first break when the beat kicks back in hard you would then open your eyes and think were the **** am i.Then you would get your head back together as they would say and relise were you are and this was like snapping you out of the trance if you like.Until the next track and the the next break if ya get what i mean.:D.Much more of an underground feel to it.Personally that waas the type of music need for the Asylum as it was small and dark.Don't think you would get away with playing the olympic type music in the Asylum (all tho some of it did gat played)I just feel the music that was played in each venue suited each venue and thats why they worked.

So you had the best of both worlds as I think Seanboy mentioned earlier.And the good thing was you could experience them both in the same nite.i know some of the lads here would start of in the olymplc and then head to the Asylum after as it was open till 7/8 for a period.And some lads even hit sides after the olympic and then onto the Asylum.Sides had it's own kinnda style aswell.:D
