  • Wrecking Ball / Peak Time Power Prog - Best Example Needed

Smallman1 and the parties were better for it mate. Sasha frowning though all 12 minutes of Love In Traffic is not what was needed.

    zackster None of the proggers would have touched those types of things with a 10 foot poll

    Yup. We booked Jerry Bonham once time (because a headliner, who I cannot remember, had to back out last minute). Dude acted like he was doing us a favor while getting like two racks to play records. We had an excellent soundsystem and a good crowd so he was super friendly once he realized we weren’t a joke, but still.

    The Detroit guys were just as bad. Charging bonkers fees and in an era before sync where Atkins, Saunderson, Larkin, Carl Craig couldn’t mix a fucking gin and tonic. Give me Charles Feelgood and Doc Martin any day of the week over those pompous clowns.

      jonattonyeah this is the one that comes to mind for me. Could you imagine if Smallman1 encountered such music? He’d have been home like a shot and under the duvet cover faster than you can say pizza sans cheese!

            Weren’t invited anyway. The proggers seemed too obsessed with their image and their stern looks at the camera. We just wanted to have fun. Maybe Camisra’s “Let Me Show You” is a stupid record. Don’t care. Enjoyed it.

            “Love In Traffic” is also an awful, awful record.

            EDIT fucks sake is this boring

            It’s like “Rise In” with AIDS. And 12 fucking minutes.

                Ed typing “play Creamer and K” into a text on his Nokia and holding it in front of Wink for 20 minutes.

                  Followed by getting domed by a 9 volt at The Spectrum

                  Just remembered this beauty from 2013. Not the hardest but the room goes off.

                  I’ve started this at 3:55 where the best drop is.

                  Rabbit hole alert. I’m closing rekordbox before I just end up pasting dozens.

                  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

                  Boom goes the dynamite.

                  As far as actual prog goes, this is the undisputed heavyweight champ:

                    zackster hey played a rave in an old laser tag venue not far from my house. Completely blew my mind.

                    Was the the arena/maze still there? Could you play laser tag while the rave was going on?

                        zackster that sounds absolutely mint!

                        Lasertag seems due a revival as a hip thing anyway, and I can imagine a rave in one being ace.

                          Shirley only Jon tea why eye would be eligible to vote?
