I got a full taste of that amigo. Makes me ponder why I missed the Ecstasy movement. Lolololol. I could picture that in some poorly lit rave in a warehouse in Los Angeles. Guess I've watched too much tv. I imagined it cranked to the volume that when you walk in you feel it in percussive bursts into your chest. As bad as it is for the ears it is still something when you 'feel' the music as well as hear it.

Probably the loudest I've been treated to was the Forecastle Festival in Louieville around 5 years back. It was when Bassnectar had become really big. We were about 10 rows back (my youngest son and I) and the young man next to me said it's much more powerful and better in an enclosed venue. He said then you don't only feel it hitting your face, you feel it hitting you in the back after it's bounced off the back wall.

Not something I want to do every night but I do like to get out every once in awhile.

Right, dahbeed. I personally was never into the drugs, just the music. The more interesting thing for me is how an artist can evolve over the years. For instance, in this case, "F Machine" was the 90's incarnation of recording artist "Simon F" (Simon Fellowes). Back in the 1980s he put out a great, if somewhat disturbing album entitled "Gun" (cover photos by Robert Mapplethorpe, remember him?) a now very, very rare item that I hold an original copy of, which had this little gem on it (been saving it for Stinkfist....here you go...although I'm not a fan of the lyrical content, it is a killer tune)

Artist: Simon F
Album: Gun
