On a side note Thor, I was very much into house/dance/rave music the first half of the 90s. The Quart Festival had some great artists at that time that I got to see - 808 State, Utah Saints, The Orb, Underworld, Dread Zone and so on. I still regret that I didn't catch Orbital in a reportedly classic performance here in 1994. In the summer of 1993 I visited Summer Hypnosis in Oslo, a terrific rave.
I have never been into drugs - thank God, it was the music and the shows that was the great thing for me and my friends.
You are some years younger than me, but have you ever been a part of the house community, or do you strictly use it as music to listen to in your own home?

I was never an avid raver, but I did try it quite a few times (I was at Hyperstate 2000 here in Oslo, for example, which I believe was the last of its kind). I tried XTC once, but never again. It was fun for a night, but I was sick for a week.
Today, I only listen to it in my home (or when I travel long-distance). Did you know that the one and only Paul Oakenfold was here in Oslo in 1997, FirstBreath? He was at the Cosmopolitan Club just a block away from where I live (I believe it was some sort of vorspiel to the Quart festival in Kristiansand). I have the 2CD set, and enjoy it quite a bit, except for the low-tech trance bit at the end.

I didn't know of Oakenfold being in Oslo, but then I even missed out on the Jarre concerts in Oslo the same year! I just recently found out that JMJ played twice there in 1997...
