I will have to agree with robin here and I'm from the US. I read this
article in an ooooold DJ Magazine that talked about "The Summer of Love"
and there was a part where someone would say (I'm paraphrasing here)
"you gonna rave? or have you raved yet?" which meant taking a hit of e
and going to a party and "rave" like mad. Indeed the Acid House and
Rave are one of the same. \ I suggest doing some research at the mag's
website.

The rave scene started over there, as their answer to our Hip-Hop scene.
don't think that is true....the rave scene developed out of the northern
soul scene (from what i've read)...original rave music was acid house (the
other key ingredient to raves was the rapid take up of ecstacy at the same
time)
I don't agree that the Acid House Scene was the Rave Scene. I think it was
definetly
"proto-rave", but I don't feel RAVE happened until after the Acid House Raids
in 1989, and
1/2 the promoters went underground into the warehouses. That is when the
culture grew, and
it wasn't just a random occurence of club-rebellion.
hmmm we'll agree to disagree... :)
rave was defo happening around 88's summer of love (see the national
newspaper headlines!!), this was quite a bit before hardcore happened
which was 89/90 ->
Hence all the
dancehall and "street" influences in the original Rave Music: Hardcore.
that came later...
nah, Hardcore started in 1987, with Lennie de Ice's "We Are I.E.", and the
early SUAD
releases.
SUAD started in 1989 (i have a few of their releases, froma round the
time) and i'm failry sure "we are ie" came out in 89 too (what a tune btw)
cheers
