Fond memories
I’m 51 now & can recall the early days of acid house/Balearic as if it were yesterday. Too many of these docs focus on the negative aspect of the music revolution, such as drugs. Most of us got high - to help us dance for 12hours - but the violence that came later was always in the margins. The vast majority of us had an amazing 2 summers & will only recall the love & community sprit. Those early summers in Ibiza - KU, Pasha, Amnesia - were such an important part of who we are today it deserves a more in-depth assessment of the cultural influences, rather than always focusing on the drugs/violence/crime. People do die for consuming Ecstasy & that’s heart breaking but vast numbers of people in their middle age now only had very positive experiences. I’ve knocked off a star because of the general focus of drugs but the general narrative gave me some tingles! Great podcast.

Great insight for those that didn’t know. Brilliant reminder for those that did!

Good info and interviews, especially having consumed lots of info about this era (I’m about ten years too young to have experiences it myself). Must admit, the drama episodes did nothing for me.
