Good Deal
Added 7/14/2009
Was a little uneasy about spending so much money for a DVD. However, when the product arrived I was pleased to find it looking brand new minus factory wrapping(which I could careless about in the first place). Very pleased with shipping time and overall product quality.

nice reality
Added 5/16/2009
there were so many aspects of this movie that were true to the roots of the scene. Map points, warehouses, wardrobes, PLUR, the music, the excitement,the drugs, the nod.
It has its flaws as a movie, but stays true to the way a rave can change your life and outlook. A true piece of rave hostory.

Great capture of the 1990's underground scene
Added 4/3/2009
For those of you who never picked up on the underground rave scene during it's heyday in the 1990's, this film probably won't do much for you besides give you a historical perspective of the beginning of the electronic dance music scene here in the US. For those who were there during that time, I absolutely recommend grabbing this gem! I can guarantee that EVERY CHARACTER in this movie will remind you of someone back then (or at least a certain stereotype of people in the scene).
Pop this in your video player and take yourself back to when we realized it was all about the experience....

This deserves a minus - 10 rating.
Added 8/5/2006
I wish there was a - rating system, I would rate this at - 10 stars, the only good thing about this movie is John Digweed (he shows up at the end of the movie for 2 minutes) and Bedrocks Heaven Scent.
It was such a burden having to watch this whole movie, first of all the acting is horrible and waaaaaaay overdone; Pretentious is the word. The acting was like watching those kids candy commercials were there's all these skateboarders and "extreme" sports figures doing tricks to advertise the candy product. Then theres all these gay love scenes, of which I found very unnecessary. If this movie shows what the rave scene really is, I feel sorry for ravers, fortunately this is not what raving is all about.
This story shows a corporate-underground (hmmm those two words shouldnt be together, should they? Well they do in this movie) rave, you have the party planner sending e-mails to all these yuppys to let them know where the party is, then theres the "going to the party" thing, the wharehouse blah blah blah. Trying to look like a real rave, but the last I knew raves werent sponsored by Levis or Starbucks!!
Then you have all these horrible actors trying to act like there all high on ecstasy, they just over do it, its like watching your granny trying to act like she's drunk.
Then theirs the dj's who act like their mixing by grabbing records, putting them on the turntable and cranking up the crossfader, any dj knows its not that simple. I'm not trying to disrespect the dj's, I bet John Digweed did a tiny part in this movie because the he probably got ditched by a club owner that didnt pay him for a gig and he needed the money to get back home.
Part of the movie is about this "raver-couple" who met each other like 2 days ago and are getting married, their "love" being completely influenced after using ecstasy (the love drug) and the dudes brother who is a complete pretentious nerd. The raver dude all the sudden is kissing another dude who is supposed to be the official rave massage guy!! I mean WTF?!!! Then his brother (pret. nerd) gets a hold on some E, of course he's never done any kind of narcotics or substance before, and he starts tripping and turns into a complete fool, he meets a chick who is supposed to be a veteran raver and she tries to guide him around his trip, then at the party he invites everyone for breakfest at his house, of course that doesnt happen because he didnt really like the people, he was just E happy.
Thank God theres and end to the movie, and at the end you get to see Digweed playing heaven scent, thats the only good part of the movie and it lasts like 2 minutes.
Oh I forgto to mention the "police bust". The police arrive at the party and the party organizer talks his way and gets a sngle cop to leave without checking any paper work or permit for the party, then later on the copps arrive and shut the party down in a raid like fashion, but guess what? No one gets arrested and the sound equipment doesnt get confiscated, the cops just run in the warehouse and run everybody out. Of course the nature of this movie wouldnt just let the people go home and stop filming this atrocity, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the people go back to the warehouse, break the police lock and continue the party from where they left off. Totally unreal.
The raver-couple chick see her boyfriend kissing the massage guy and runs to the bathroom to cry, her boyfriend follows her and tells her that he's not gay, and of course they get back together and go back dancing, then when the partys done the raver-couple dude sees the massage guy and tells him "I'm not gay" and the massage dude replies "Nah, me neither".
I hope you got an idea of how bad the movie is by this review, I got a headache writing it.
