    :D there were times as well to be fair when i just plain walked out of the temple for the same crap, so i think all clubs (well most lol) are guilty of the same carry on. don't agree with commercial music in raves, it totally goes against what the rave scene set out to do way back when:)

    Ahh you see though this is where you have to define a few things,

    1. It was all new way way back when & was still evolving.

    2. A lot of the tracks were murdered by the radio

    3. Nightclubs latched onto the rave music & spawned a whole new direction in sh.ite tunes & some filtered back into the rave.

    I do hear what you are saying cause i actually left an Altern8 gig in the belvedere hotel about 3 or 4 years ago now cause they were churning out the biggest pile of handbag cr.ap i ever heard:eek:

    altern8 are anthem bashers, no escapin that fact. i've seen em 3 times in the last 3 years annd each time came out feelin robbed tbh. at the time period of the olympic "the media" were after coppin on that this (wont say new as it was already alive and kicking a few years in the uk)music phenomenon had the potential to be a big money spinner and of course jumped on it like flies to sh1te and started churnin out crap tbh, all in the name of profit which is totally against the underground movement it started out as.
    now i know there are hundres of tunes (underground tunes i might add) that were played in the olympic but, as soon as some1 mentions the word olympic i instinctively think of roterdam 93, i can't help it its just the 1st thing that pops into my head for some reason. same as if some1 says rave i immediately think of hardcore, or some1 says asylum i immediately think dee rex or union jack, its just an impulsive reaction straight out.
    give me a list of tunes, good solid olympic tunes to dig out to change my perseption of the place coz at the min its marred with me older cousins "fav tunes" on tape that she used to play over and over that were, as she said, from the olympic. god i'm havin flashbacks here and they ain't nice:pac::pac::pac::D

    not a fan of rez, i still think underworlds best tune is pearls girl but, the rest are good tunes granted its been about 5/6 years since i've listened to most of em but they're a far cry from roterdam 93 thats for sure. any more?

    I liked Altern8,still do ...... and as Nexus 21 before their "Alter8tion"! :rolleyes: suppose if you go through their Nexus catalogue n then the Altern8 stuff ya can clearly see where it all got a bit diluted in the name of £££££'s

    ...but sure what artist ever stayed true to their roots? they all chase fame n fortune......i'm sure Bono just does it "for the love of music man" :rolleyes: hence all the free concerts n raves we got to go to eh!!

    have to agree, was let down by there sets meself, but am a hugh fan of their own stuff. pitty they split in 93 as they deffo had the potential as an act to give the prodigy a run for their money.

    I'll have less of that woah woah woah'ing now!!!:D lol I never said anyone said anything about anybody ,all i was alluding too was that when comparing their works as Nexus to what they did as Altern8 (both good in their own right) you can see/hear the difference of the latter and the stronger underground vibe of the "acid house" style of Nexus.....suppose to put it simply ,they moved with the times and the times moved with the music,it was inevitable that underground rave acts where going to go mainstream at some stage.

    Es, I know tit bits of the background to why they "went their seperate ways" ...... just average joes like you or I.

    theres been loadsa tit for tat crap between em since, pitty they didn't split on good terms as they could have had some more classics under their belt instead of gettin a new member and just becomin a dj act instead of producin which is what they were famous for really.

    Love that A-D-8 With Plezure track from them Paddy!! I had a tape from Amsterdam and i think they started off with it. Maybe it was shown on the Hitman and Her as well. Would love to get my hands on it. I think N-Joi were on the flipside of the one that i had but I cant be certain though. I found out where the sampled that track from only a short while ago.

    Am I the only one here that thinks the olympic was nothin more than a glorified disco bar with some decent tunes thrown in to dilute the wiff of edam? can anyone honestly (and i mean honestly) tell me with a straight face this place was an underground experience (which raves were) when clearly it was a commercial cheese factory :D:D:D
    as i said folks i'm not havin a dig at the place, as it obviously ment so much to so many of you, and i know i'm gonna get slated for even postin such "blasphemy :rolleyes:" about the place but, if ya honestly think about it then ya'd have to agree, disco bar with yokes :p

    *bring on the abuse, i can take it* lol

    The Olympic was pulling crowds of over 1000 in 1993 and playing fresh tunes never heard before. A lot of the cheese started to filter through a year or so later, and regular anthems were then played to death on the new pirate radio stations at the time. But I could list nearly 100 tracks from The Olympic which are all brilliant. I dont even save those 'cheese' tracks on my hard drive.
    Dont forget it was the one and only regular 'Rave' in Dublin where the rest were club nights. If you werent there you wouldn't understand.

    Well done ger , great post, isn't it a shame that we typically wait until the horse bolts before looking at the swinging barn door? The government and their cronies lost the run of themselves whilst the rest of us just lost our way...dare I say it again....the founders of our state n those that fought and died in its name must be rotating furiously in their graves,as are those who fought & died over the course of 2 world wars to stop them lot taking control of all Europe,less than 100 yrs down the line and here we are handing it to them on a fookin golden plate.:(

    Re: Sean's post,will I be seeing some of you on wood quay this coming Saturday morning? wrap up warm!! ....I don't know what it'll achieve if anything at all but atleast a show of solidarity ......i'm pissed off been pissed off n doing nothing to show how pissed off I am.....and i'm seriously pissed off with the lack of alternatives...Enda Kenny n co?? :rolleyes: Gilmore?? Rabbitte?? the Greens??? there's not one stand out alternative to show faith in....we must be the laughing stock of the world how things have gone these past few years.....bring on the clowns....oh sorry ,we already have ,messers Cowen,Lenihan and Aherne before them.

    Rant over:o
