[luluc1]

FUCKING AWESOME.

[rollandsausage]

Great post! I remember watching this on TV in Glasgow vowing to go one day. Never did. Bought almost the whole soundtrack from the show mind you. Rhythm Is Rhythm - Is What It Is a particular favorite still!! Opened my eyes to real dance music for the 1st time. Oh aye, and I thought you and your mate were as cool as f*ck dancing on that platform. LOL. Happy days indeed!

start of the end...was going in the hac in 85/86 saw mantronix/joyce sims all sorts of top stuff, before acid kicked of a year or so later, and i was swept along with it big time.

But the hitman and her in the hac was like being violated by a pineapple. fucking posers and wannabees in my church. Hardly any of the 'heads' in there that night, i remember a pal of mine all over that micheala, and making sure she had a good time...

i pose about being a original poster boy for acid house...

Was in Manc in the eighties, heard the first metroplex/model 500 records from eblock. I hated all that happy Mondays shit and Stone roses shit. It was crap to see that rock and dance mix. I know for some it was great. I loved and do so to this day love the detroit tech/electro thing(drexciya, aux 88,Doppler, ectomorph, etc Hacienda was good but ended up full of wanky students who declared Manchester theirs.It's on their cvs now.

@osomy i agree; was in Manc during the lates 80's early 90's and was a pure House & Techno head and at the time had NO interest in all the indie stuff, I just saw it as guitar rock which to me was the polar opposite of what the acid/house movement was all about. Loads of people saw it that way. It wasn't until mid to late 90s I got into the Roses with their Second coming album and then my all round musical taste started to diversify.
