Hey that completely made me have a flashback to a club where Altern8 were doing a live show. That robot was awesome and completely freaked me out in a good off-your-head way. Respect to your brother and may he rest in peace.
I'll be 40 tomorrow I was 15 when this tune came out, I thank god when I was a teenager when I was and the truly epic music that developed during that time. I was able to be a part of something truly special. It's difficult to put into words how innovative those times were. Everything from about 1995 onwards seems to have been a rinse and repeat, but there were some years when what was happening in music was beyond the commercial gain of money or the music business and beyond the long arm of the law, was just an unprecedented wave of something new that nobody could really control. Good times. God I wish I had a fucking time machine. I'd be right back there in an instant. Make a good film!
+steven johnson Funny age being 40..... I remember going out raving back in the day & meeting people who were in there 40's & thinking how cool they were. I hope I have became one of them 40 year olds :)
+steven johnson Could not agree more brother. I was 20, on the dance floor when I first heard this... MASSIVE impact, ...massive, ...Comon' you'All! you know the score
Would love to set up a club night which just played '95 and earlier stuff, for all the 30-40 out there that wanted to relive the best years of this scene
I'm 18 again! I remember leaving a banging night at shelley's and then a truck suddenly appeared in the car park, the side kicks opens and then this drops! Altern 8 live suprise.. OMFG it all kicked off!!! 😊 Still August 2020 what a F Tune! 🎶
was there to. just when you thought it was all over it all kicked off again, until the old bill turned up. then got in my car and drove home without any alcohol in my system your honour
Guys n girls. Just one of many tracks that keeps us in memory field.. Keep loving. Keep dancing. As we said back in the day... Keep it locked. One love...........
Have seen them in the early 90s in Tessera club Athens in a Sunrise Zone party. I had written a letter to them when I was a kid....and they responded...the paper had their A8 logo!! simply mad with A8...nice memories...
What a tune. The video perfectly captures the iconic moment in history when the warehouse/rave scene was what many of us loved being part of. Just need Doc Brown and Marty McFly to pick us up kn the Delorean and whizz back to 1989 and do it all again. And again !
Im 42 and still going raves. Had the pleasure of seeing these P.A. at Shelleys 19/03/16. First time ive seen them since 1991. Amazing set and crowd went off big time. great moment :-D
I was there that night. Everybody Who was part of the crew got a Special 12" of the night Signed by Mark and Chris (Still Have Mine) It was the shoot for the Video for Active 8. If You were there too, You should check out the Video to see If You can see Yourself In It. Top One. Nice One Get Sorted.
Ha ha haaa, I remember requesting this from the DJ at a school disco. I was about 9 years old and had heard my sisters playing it whilst getting ready to go to raves. I remember thinking the DJ must be a right knob-head when he said he didn't have it.
got the vertigo ep on silver vinyl. sounds as good today as back in the day. put it on cassette in my walkman on my bmx on my paper round , the echo [ liverpool] oh the good old days.
Hippy rave in Marlborough after Ektos Aug 91. Two refreshers in and off my nut, this dropped. Blew my mind! Spent the next 6mnts trying to find this tune!
Full on mask hysteria i got it to copy on cassette aged 14 proved one of the game changers that shaped my love of dance music over 30 years later this banger of a tune still slaps
I loved and still love rave music and dancing. I never consumed a single drug apart from perhaps caffeine, painkillers, antibiotics and anesthetic. Music would make me excited 😊
100% agree with that quote I don’t need drugs to lose myself in these 90s bangers not even alcohol I’m still attending retro nights sober! as soon as I hear that music I’m off to another world get me on that dancefloor ❤
I still have this and all the others Signed as they Lived round the corner from Me. What great times they were. We would listen to the Local Pirate radio for the Key Words. Then race out to Hilton Park Services to get the Fliers telling You were the next Rave was going to be. Magic, Will never get those Years back but Will Never forget them nether. Top One, Nice One, Get Sorted.
@Jim Taylor Pity Shelleys has gone now. I remember the night We pulled up on a Arctic at 2 In the morning to do the Shoot for the Active 8 Video. I still have the Special 12" given to the crew of that night, Signed by Mark and Chris. great Days. I'm feeling It now though.
@Jim Taylor It was "Active 8" take a look at the Video and that Is at Shelleys at 2 In the Morning. We parked on Hilton Services to warm everything up (It was freezing that night). Then Drove down to Shelleys, just as they were coming out. We already had a string of cars following us as the word spread. Unforgettable night.
It won't happen again Brothers and Sisters. I sit here at my keyboard and i two finger type with a heavy heart. From Cannock to Stafford to Shelley's carpark i was there. It's 3.30 am and i'm 48 now and high on life and Laphraoig. I'd give it all up today,for one more night in 90~91~92.
Oh man what I wouldn't give to be young again, I can't be doing no bloody e,s nowadays nor the barley either to be honest, but the 90's were the best years of my life wicked raves , music , people the whole experience , it can't be repeated . Like you could go out get totally out of ya nut , and everybody was out for a good time the vibe and the music , not like now people go clubs looking for trouble ., you young lads with a few pints down their Gregory , and want to fight the world. Nah, it's just not the same ,
+nasty nick well said lad..............old skool proper, eeeeed up to feck, some go fast, and half of MBS, or whatever trips were around and we was off it.......good tunes, good folk, all peaceful, no Al Queda, or IS just pure musak n good people man........peace at yer bro
Nyck Hampson Cheers brother and you too, go easy mate. Were kinda brittle these days those elastic/y young muscles aint so flexi now as i discovered . Sigh ,
Sclapione Rocco Fuk man sometime s I feel 100 I Tore my Quad last year , which has led to nothing but other lower limb injuries , a once fit man jogging cycling rowing , Caput ! It's so frustrating .
Sclapione Rocco the quad still gives me grief , the Achilles has healed up, strained calf is left tight , lack of exercise over a year has led to weak hamstrings tight shoe laces tend to pull on the hamstring to loose hurts the quad , it comes from putting extra weight on one leg . Fixing one injury put pressure on another injurie just unlucky they came at once before one was fully healed . Then it' became a juggling game. I can walk faster now, I can do light cycles , but not rowing,. Hopefully on the mend touch wood..
What an unbelievable album. I thought it a 12 and I think it at 43. These, the Prodigy of these times, SL2, 808 state... Best and most innovative musical period the UK has ever experienced, well 88-92
There legends. My older brother had there tapes when it came out and it had a luminous yellow mask on at with a capital A. My best track was move my body
@TheEIREGUNNER So yeah, at 14/15 yrs old I was starting to smoke dope, snort/swallow speed, and drop ecstasy! Starting out in my mate's darkened bedroom with our gang, listening to jungle mainly as well as house/acid house/hardcore etc - the lot! We'd all go out to warehouse parties and squat parties around London, Brighton and the SouthEast of England. Sometimes my friend's mum and stepdad would come with us, they were getting out of it as much as we were and/or vice versa!

Your brother will forever be part of the legend!
RIP
@@bal289 thanks, Mark archer gave him a good shout out on a recent podcast interview which was really touching.
Sorry for your loss my friend…… can I ask how your brother ended up being the robot? Was he a friend?
Hey that completely made me have a flashback to a club where Altern8 were doing a live show. That robot was awesome and completely freaked me out in a good off-your-head way. Respect to your brother and may he rest in peace.
WOW! I loved the Altern-8 robot on stilts. He looked awesome 👍🏻. Sorry for your loss x

steven johnson ... agreed mate - i was into this music and jungle from 1988/1989 up to 1995 then it was all commercial and no longer underground ..
+steven johnson Funny age being 40..... I remember going out raving back in the day & meeting people who were in there 40's & thinking how cool they were. I hope I have became one of them 40 year olds :)
+steven johnson yes - it was the last none contrived youth movement -

steven johnson you are so correct . i was there .
I miss the90's. Amazing raves, music and pills. Best era of my life :-)
Here,here
Out Of This World ! 🙂
😀 Too true! Those where amazing times. We were lucky to live through them🤪
You dropped this tonight in a club, I still think it'd smash anything else that'd been played that night.
I'm almost a millenial and LOVE this tune
This or evapor8, josh wink don't laugh, prodigy charly said etc....
Without a shadow of doubt…..
Any night mate
Kids would be Shazzaming it to the max like !
In my fifties with tinnitus from dancing inside the bloody speaker bins. No regerts!

Yep
Would love to set up a club night which just played '95 and earlier stuff, for all the 30-40 out there that wanted to relive the best years of this scene
KPS UK Raidance is STILL going strong catering for your old skool needs. You'd be better sticking to MDMA powder cos the pills are crap now.

One of my favourite tracks of all time
Still got this on silver vinyl, what a track
when music grabbed you and took you to another plain, you just cannot fail to dance to this , best scene and when Stafford was on the map
Oh no, not more bass! I was addicted to this track in '91, always playing on my walkman when around the town on my bike!
I still have this on 12" silver vinyl :-D
25 years on and it still kills.
One of the tracks I forgot for so long but always takes me back to the 'Orange Club' Camden Palais, Friday night.........
HYMN... dark and mellow... together..the vocals are in my mind all those years... . british old good breaks... respect from greece....
Altern-8, they simply know how to make it, wicked mate
No camera phones just people in the vibe, Man I miss those days
Loved those 90s missions!!
A classic !!
Totally true, love their music
Oh yes a classic.remember those days in a field all night long.😂🤣
This is a Tune geezer, I remember blowing up my car speakers playing this over and over, proper tune
you mean to tell me you didn't watch your bass bins?
This stuff stands the test of time. Sounds beautiful full blast in my bassy headphones
*Every time I get drunk I end up watching this video.*
got the vertigo ep on silver vinyl. sounds as good today as back in the day. put it on cassette in my walkman on my bmx on my paper round , the echo [ liverpool] oh the good old days.
Hippy rave in Marlborough after Ektos Aug 91. Two refreshers in and off my nut, this dropped. Blew my mind! Spent the next 6mnts trying to find this tune!
This was the tunes of our generation X X X
I will never forget the night Altern8 first performed this at the Eclispe in Coventry,,...fucking awesome night
one of the best rave tunes of all time. 12 dalston lane massive!
First heard this at Energy near Cambridge september 1991, it was booming!
Just heard this on TikTok so thought would listen to full version takes me back to being 16 again mental days
Ностальгия , клевое время было.
Слушается легко и сейчас.
Добрый олдскул всегда в теме.
Full on mask hysteria i got it to copy on cassette aged 14 proved one of the game changers that shaped my love of dance music over 30 years later this banger of a tune still slaps
Class 😎👌 those days the memories will never die
I really need to take a big step back in time to relive this. Glad i was part of a jilted generation of pure mental cases.
It's got that signature 808 acid baseline meets Chicago funk house meets breakbeat delight. 🥰 Almost forgot lush pads
still good over 30 years later. rave on.
So GOOD :) saw live at Stockton ...The Mall. '91
That 808 state sample just given me a right rush of goosebumps what class times
Album back out on triple vinyl. Pressed super loud. Essential.
Oh! Thanks,will have to buy!
I loved and still love rave music and dancing. I never consumed a single drug apart from perhaps caffeine, painkillers, antibiotics and anesthetic. Music would make me excited 😊
natural high hits so much harder for me 😊

curtir essa música é sem dúvida uma das melhores viagens pra quem é dos anos 90 e quer MORAR BEM...
i liked how this perdon filmed the video with his voice. his voice is very nice ♡
I loved altern 8,s outfits. I still dress up like one as well, and during coronavirus.
Never bettered. My god what a tune.
So I am 43 years(...) old now and this is still so effing AWESOME!

Remember walking around with my mask on in 91 and I didn't even have Covid
Goosebumps on my body
Who would have thought face masks would be so popular in 2020?
30 years ahead of time.
@TheEIREGUNNER So yeah, at 14/15 yrs old I was starting to smoke dope, snort/swallow speed, and drop ecstasy! Starting out in my mate's darkened bedroom with our gang, listening to jungle mainly as well as house/acid house/hardcore etc - the lot! We'd all go out to warehouse parties and squat parties around London, Brighton and the SouthEast of England. Sometimes my friend's mum and stepdad would come with us, they were getting out of it as much as we were and/or vice versa!
My Bose speakers don’t know what’s hit them!!😂😂🔊🔊🔊what an absolute banger from 1991❤
Early nineties were awesome. I was 16. Rave was amazing. Them were the days. Anybody remember the Earl Shilton Albion raves?
August 1991 This was Magnificent
Brings a smile to my face and memory's that can't be erased .bit cloudy though ;-)
The thinking mans Prodigy
Seen these a few times best was at Shelly’s! Use to love the PAs.
Loved Astrix n space on SCR .. and A8 🎶🎶🎶
If you were there. It was a blast. If you are told. Believe them. This scene...vibe...subculture won't happen again
This sounds like an ancient evil, locked away for eons 🕺
I got to meet altern 8 when hmv opened in Hanley
