[QUOTE="adamw, post: 788832, member: 7066"] Interesting thread, and some words of wisdom from Phil Thornton on the DJH thread amongst others. I could probably drone on for hours about this having first hand experience, and was in Ibiza in 85,86 and 88. I know there are other contributors here who could share similar experiences. I remember taking a "house music tape" over in '88 which the barman in the hotel bar begged me to give him (I did) which funnily enough contained "Gene and Jim are into Shakes". (read the DJH thread) :mexican: I think the whole thing was about many ingredients coming together at once, as stated earlier. Apart from the odd club, night clubs in general were dreadful in the 80's, it was all "white shirt black tie" nonsense, and it was only when acid house really took hold that all this got blown apart. Is anyone old enough to remember meeting on the car park over the road from Wigan Pier to go to Blackburn because you couldn't get in the club? (because you weren't wearing pants and shoes) What really was apparent was that there was this feeling of momentum, you could literally feel something big was about to happen. I interviewed Shaun & Bez from the Mondays for my fanzine the week after they had their album launch party for "Bummed" at Spectrum, that was one amazing conversation. The whole "E" thing was really kicking off then and it was amazing. As far as the Balearic thing is concerned, my view is that it was, and still is, a niche that was confined to a select group of clubs and people. I'm sure those people and those that frequented those clubs would agree. [/QUOTE]
