I can't imagine they are

No i did'nt think so meself Sean tbh.

Usually in smaller venues, it's about 10-15 yoyos, they could get anywhere from 100 people upwards. Or it could be a complete disaster, with less people. I've been to a few crap ones, Attendance-wise, The Vaults included!

Exactly so does it really matter what music they play if the attendence is down anyways.

Those Vaults gigs, were mainly run by "The Asylum brand", which is why they charged so much. Also, they got a lot of big names to play, so they would have had to be paid a decent sum, for playing at them. So a profit would have had to be a must in that case, as it would've been some money to be out of pocket, paying those guys.

Yes i agree but when we talk about profit i doubt it would be anything to write home about.Just my opinion.

I would love that myself, but the vast majority of peeps, that attend those gigs, really aren't musically savvy, clued in, want to hear, or even care to educate themselves at all, with the lesser known tracks. When you have DJ's hoarding tunes, and fm radio stations over the years, playing the same tunes, on a weekly basis, over and over again, for they're "oldskool" shows, it's not a recipe for success anyway. The oldskool scene, will be shockingly bad, in a few years, due to the lack of music being shared, with younger DJ's, to keep it alive and well.

Agreeded.

Tune snobbery, in my opinion. Can be attributed, but not limited to, the likes of people, who have blinkers on to anything other than their favoured style of music. Be it Techno, House, Trance, Drum & Bass, Rock, Metal, Classical etc etc. I think in Mac's case, and mine too, as i don't like either of those tracks myself. It's just a case of, different folks different strokes. When i was younger (as with most people) i liked all those cheesy type tunes, Happy Hardcore included, to an extent. But when i listen back over those tracks now, i think to myself, "what the hell was i thinking, listening to that?!" I know nostalgia is great, but i definitely think, people are guilty of looking back on the past, with rose tinted glasses. There is a wealth of amazing tunes, that came out of the Dublin scene back then. But for me, i'm not in the same place musically, that i was 10 years ago, never mind 20 years ago. Peoples tastes change over time, and something that may have sounded excellent to you back then, can definitely sound like complete rubbish to you later on down the road. I think as well, people don't like to look back on certain moments in their lives, and think to themselves, "yeah, that wasn't as good as i thought it was". When i was going out weekly, to the Temple or where ever it was, i thought the music at the time was great. But in saying that, i can count on one hand now, the amount of tunes from that era, i still listen to, and regard as being good. So in my opinion, it's not tune snobbery, it's just that people grow and change, and things that were good at one point, become stale, boring, or even shít to them, at a later point in life. I still love my breakbeat stuff, 20 odd years later, but there are definitely tracks, from that era/genre, that i wouldn't give the time of day to now, and i don't listen to them. Wubble U, for me personally, along with that Bette Blue tune (i think that's the name of it, Jon Pleased Wemin. Correct me if i'm wrong with the name btw) are two of the worst tunes i've heard from that era, in Dublin's clubbing history. Not to say they're not good to other people, but they're deffo not something, i'd go out of my way to listen to. If other people like them fair play, far be it for me to judge anyones taste in music, but like i said, they aint my bag. And they're obviously not Mac's either.

You speak wise words sean.

Probably gonna be murdered but I think Leftfield are seriously over-rated, possibly due to leftism being played to death, but I don't think they have stood the test of time
Did anyone go to the point gig, they had to start twice because the bass kept blowing the amps?

Wouldn't be a massive fan myself, just a few tunes here and there. Never seen em live, not into them enough, to spend money to see em.

I seen them in the point years ago.. cant remember the amps blowin.. or do I,, I dunno,, I remember it been a great gig. and they didn't do much of the leftism album,, they did more remixes of the tunes on leftism from what I remember.. and all the big drum buildups at the end.. the album was a big hit..appealed to everyone raver or not.. but I just liked about 3 or 4 tunes on it..

Interesting point.

I would'nt say i love there music r ever did.In fact i was'nt really a fan of there music really bitd.I've only really started to like it alot more in the past 10/7 yrs.Thats there oldskool stuff of the 90's.

Is the music still fresh now.Personally i think its ok.Does'nt sound out of place.Some tunes you bang on and you just know it's early 90's.

Did'nt go the point gig,but on another similar note i went to the Faithless gig in the point.

Anybody else attend this.The y played Insomia 3 times to 3 keep the crowd on there side...lol

Indeed, Some good tracks but i skip a lot of the Leftism album,

I really like Djum Djum Difference before they where Leftfield and Songs of life, Release the pressure. I seen them a few years ago in Tripod, they where super live.

Here's a good mix i have in my favorites on soundcloud from Neil Barnes and Paul Daley - 96.
