    Really is a pity i think anyone that was actually there but formed that opinion of the place & nothing else as they really missed out on the most fundamental experience they could have in their life, sure it was full of junkie skangers but once you emmersed yourself in the experience of the bottom floor it was another world & had plenty more to it that made the place an amazing feeling that was utterly profound. Few of us have ever had the experience of a truly euphoric state, where our mind shifts up a gear & a new realm of existence is suddenly visible.

But such moments are all too brief & hard to come by & are truly a privilege to the person to have ever been so lucky to have had conditions around create such a perception changing state come their way. Then we fall back into chaos again being fed & inundated with images & messages of what we want, what we like, what we feel, and hungry for those brief moments of clarity to remove you from the attempted brainwashing that is more than prevalent everyday. It seems as if there are two realms of existence, one grounded in our ordinary consumer driven image conscious self absorbed lives, and another high above in an upper dimension of omnipotence & omniscience. This state of perception altering existence is what the bottom floor of the ASYLUM created & is something that will remain with me forever.

    Plug one end into the headphone out on your stereo playing the tape & the other to the 'Line in' on the back of yer PC, then get some software like this,

    http://www.amazon.com/Magix-Entertainment-639191131479-Audio-Cleaning/dp/B000V7UY2G

    The rest is a matter of getting used to controlling the sound going in & trail & error getting to grips with cleaning & enhancing old audio......youll get there in the end.;)

    i'm all for what your on about key, positivity and all that stuff thru experience but. i know loads of people and i mean loads who are strung out to bits because of the asylum. E casualties who couldn't hack the come down, now i'm not blamin it entirely on the venue because every1 has their own mind and can make decisions for themselves but, it played a big part in their decissions because of the availability of these substances inside the place and any1 who tries to tell me otherwise is a liar plain and simple. i have a few cousins who will remain anonymous for abvious reasons that are ****ed up mentally and physically thru addiction because of the asylum, so it wasn't all peaches and cream man. i'm not one for dissin any place or where any1 got their kicks bitd but that place is single handedly responsible for the majority of the junkies around my way and thats a fact man.
    now i'm an avid oldskool lover music wise which is why i joined this thread in the 1st place but when ya have family members fukked up because of a venue thats closed 16 years and they're still in **** makes me wonder was it really worth it for them like???
    amyway i mean no harm by this post to any asylum head here, just needed to get this off my chest when i seen your post about the euphoric experience it was claimed to be so sorry if i offend any1 yeah :o

    I hear ya sean......i am not ignorant to the outcome of such intensive use of class A's & the draw the place had that hooked people to return again & again religiously as i did say in my original post that yes it did have all the stuff that is said again & againabout it, but what i was getting at was that there was all that for sure but also the most profound experience that could be gained was also which i tried to explain in words in my last post.

    The fact is i can never come close to communicating what was created on the bottom floor of the ASYLUM but it was something that has never been & will never be felt again.

    People beleive in all sorts of spirtual practices in the hope to be able to gain enlightenment & be touched on a level that exist outside of the world as we know it, i am saying that such a feeling was there on the bottom floor of the ASYLUM when the right conditions were created it was like being taken to another level of perception & existence.

    It did screw many people up mentally i acknowledge because i know a few that never came back from the edge after the days of 48 hour partying full of top notch class A's but there was also the unexplainable amazing feeling that was there that has been so impressionable on so many. The second floor had across the end wall over a pic of a baby in a straight jacket this saying,

    "The ASYLUM, a safe sanctuary for the insane"

    I will leave you with this though, when it was eventually closed the judge that passed the order to revoke the license permanently & pass sentence on some of the bouncers etc said,

    "The ASYLUM is a den of iniquity"

    It was so much to so many......good & bad.

    den of iniquity is an accurate description mate from the examples i have around me everyday because of the place. i don't know one person who got strung out becauce of the temple which was my spot as i'm not as old as the majority on here, but i know loads from the asylum. as i said every1 has a choice and the venue can't be blamed entirely, but it had a very big part to play in the demise of so many people my family included so i don't share your total optimisim about the place mate as euphoric as it was supposed to be or not.
    as i said before, no disrespect intended people, just my point of view from 1st hand experience yeah.

    Im not being insensitive here sean by repeating what i have said cause i do hear ya & acknowledge everything your saying,

    The place left an aftermath in a lot of peoples lives alright & that cant & will not be ignored......the bastard heroin has affected many people i know & has killed close friends also that went to the ASYLUM with me so it is not lost on me how the knock on effects ruins lives but still everything i have said was there on that bottom floor that made such an everlasting impression in peoples minds.

    Im not taking away from how it has affected you & your family personaly just speaking from the heart at what it had that made it so enduring in peoples minds........it certainly wasnt all goodicon13.gif but also it certainly wasnt all badicon14.gif

    Terrible that the good memories from yesteryear are mirrored which grief. I too have an inlaw who is still dabbling from the 'Rave Days'. He never went to the Asylum only the Olympic. I do remember vividly Heroin making a break through around 1994. However I had around 10 mates, both fellas and girls who got strung out around 1994/5. And believe it or not only a coulpe went raving. Unfortunatley them 'dens of iniquety' were awash with all and sundry. I never seen gear been sold but have no doubt it was available. I chose to stick close to the speakers.

    Just reading through this old rave history article about the scene in Dublin, and I can relate to a lot of it.
    http://www.fantazia.org.uk/Scene/orgs/ireland.htm
    What was it like then? Firstly, it's fairly important to paint a picture of the dance scenes status in society back then. It hadn't much representation in the media, no TV programmes, no books, no club listings in evening papers and a far cry away from any full length movies. Undocumented, unknown, underground. So to walk into a crowd of 1000+ nutters dancing like no one's watching, with lasers flying overhead, music from the next century and strangers instantly becoming best friends was an exhilarating slap in the face, like walking into another dimension, let in on one big secret. Even buzzing about town on a Saturday afternoon and catching the eye of someone similarly clad would warrant a knowing smile. This is where the real magic lay, what created such a gargantuan atmosphere, everyone on the same level, going
    through that initial honeymoon phase together.

    Just before the ballroom closed down, a new three level, all night club called the Asylum opened and that's exactly what it was. It bore witness to the first batch of E casualties, burnt out ravers desperately chasing that initial rush, the dawning realisation that nothing this good lasts forever painted across their jaded faces. However, a fresh batch always arrived to fill the void and this new crowd kept the balance in check. The Asylum also welcomed in a new batch of DJ's. Dilly, the then Northern Ireland mixing champ, took residency in the Asylum along with Dublin's Ed case, Warren K and Pressure. The clubs eventual downfall was its very open display as a drug haven and was soon shut down.
