The people are most important – who you will meet, what ideas you will share. Generally, it will start out house progrssing to trance. Sounds will include John the Dentist/Additive, Sasha & Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, assorted trance, progressive house, uplifting hard house and techno, all on genuine digital compact discs.

BYOB encouraged. Any males visibly intoxicated will be escorted from the premises. Abusive treatment of women will not be tolerated. We reserve to right to kick anybody out. Refreshments: Homozon, blue-green algae, various nootropics Lame Scale: ZERO. Expecting roughly 700 people or so, 350 at any one time. As always, shood be good. And big enough to avoid exes who may appear out of the woodwork. Like cockaroaches, as cocaine kingpin Tony Montagno would say. Serotonin: The Neurotransmitter for the ’90s Introduction Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is widely distributed in animals and plants, occurring in vertebrates, fruits, nuts, and venoms. A number of congeners of serotonin are also found in nature and have been shown to possess a variety of peripheral and central nervous system activities. Of particular interest over the years is the psychotomimetic activity displayed by several serotonin-related compounds such as N,N-dimthyl tryptamine, 5-hydroxy-N,N-dimthyltryptamine (bufotenine), and 4-phosyphoryloxy-N,N-dimthyl-tryptamine (psilocybin). Although serotonin may be obtained from a variety of dietary sources, endogenous 5-HT is synthesized in situ from tryptophan through the actions of the enzymes tryptophan hydroxylase and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. Both dietary and endogenous 5-HT are rapidly metabolized and inactivated by monoamine oxidase and aldehyde dehydrogenase to the major metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Of the chemical neurotransmitter substances, serotonin is perhaps the most implicated in the etiology or treatment of various disorders, particularly those of the central nervous system, including anxiety, depression, obsessive- compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, stroke, obesity, pain, hypertension, vascular disorders, migraine, and nausea. A major factor in our understanding of the role of 5-HT in these disorders is the recent rapid advance made in understanding the physiological role of various serotonin receptor subtypes.

I personally don’t spin it, but like groovin (and driving fast) to some of it. And Astral Projection would have to be one of my favorites. They’ve recorded on Transient, TIP, and Matsuri. Tsuyoshi Suzuki is also on Matsuri, and he’s also known as JOUJOUKA when teamed up with someone else named Takeshi Isagai. Are these guys gonna DJ, or play a live PA?? Got a picture of the flier? If anyone goes to the party and snaps some photos, beam them up!! I’m a Houston-ite, so doubt I’ll be there :/ Hey Jeff, I gotta question. You know the first Matrix Crew party down here in Houston (circa 1991-92) was called ‘Brainmachine’. Any connection?? 🙂 -kc djkc at sosrecords web sosrecords “We will use…the recording of nervous energy streaming past microscopic listening devices in the bloodstreams of insects.

#19 Mon, 22 Feb 1999 09:28:30 (no subject) So what happened? Overall very good vibe and people, booming sound system. In general, complete chaos. Doctors and researchers hitting up blonde Spy models. A guy tripping on acid with a video camera trying to get footage of girls in the bathroom, a barking dog, three drunk Frenchmen kicked out, as was promised in the flyer for the party, for breaking bottles, stealing booze and manhandling the loft owners wife, respectively. So many other little bits of random, random craziness. But we still won’t hire security because We Are The Mob. Haha. Lost and found: if anybody saw anybody leave with a Hobermann sphere, email me or dejongm at teoco (Mark de Jong) privately. If anybody has loft space available, let me know. So how was the music? Who did ya’ll like (or dislike?)

She was really trying to find him to give it back. Jeff – another nice one! The music was great, but I also liked the dj you had at the first party he played hard techno. Karl

#21 Mon, 22 Feb 1999 09:49:24 From: dejongm at xx.xxx Serotonin Selector – Lost Items – Please help Please forward to everyone you know that’s not on the list that went to Serotonin Selector.. Hey kids this is Mark from Zero-G (web buser.net/zero-g)… Just wanna say thanks for the great time at Neurotransmitters – Serotonin Selector! Everyone was great. The vibe was unbelievable!! Also… We lost some items while we were there and were wondering if anyone happened to find them. We’re looking for a Gold colored Samsung camera and a Hoberman ball. The camera is pocket sized and the hoberman is the ball that expands as you pull it outward. You might have found the camera in your back pack. My friend was kinda disoriented that night. 🙂 If you’ve seen these please send an e-mail to dejongm at teoco. Thanks and hope to see you all at the next Neurotransmitter party.. Also come see us at Twilo this upcoming friday with Sasha & Digweed. Peace, Mark

#23 22 Feb 1999 15:35:07 From: cdragon at xx.xxx Re: Neurotrancemitter Party Saturday Thanks go out to Jeff and everybody else responsible for setting up one hell of a party:) Keep it up! A very brief report for those of you who missed out: Got in around 1AM. Looking at the size of the loft, I was surprised to see the number of people to comfortably enjoy themselves! It was incredible! Plenty of room to dance, plenty of room to chill! Brainmachines were hanging down at random places from the ceiling. Music vibe in combination with them sent me sky-high! If you havent tried it TRY IT! DJs were awesome, spinning vinyl and reacting to every vibe in the house! Danced non-stop energy levels refused to be depleted! Left a bit after 8AM. Although some people left, it didnt seem that party was dying out! People were still raving at large! A special thanks goes out to Mark De Jong! Mark you are incredible! Managed to extend my trip for almost an hour and sent me so high I was barely aware of anything aside from the interweaving sea of sounds and emotions! Mark, keep it going! You are the best! And yet again I thank everyone that made this party possible:) CD

#24 Mon, 22 Feb 1999 11:14:54 brainmachines] Psychedelic Loft Party vs. Jesus at Kegger Psychedelic Loft Party – Come Celebrate GOD We don’t have anything on these guys: TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST ADDS EXCITEMENT TO KEGGER Dozens of Lucky Underage Drinkers Get Baptized – in Beer! (copied without permission from the Onion, a local newsmagazine) Those in attendance at Andy Habershanker’s beer bash last Friday were delighted to entertain an unexpected visitor when the Lord Jesus Christ materialized above a keg of beer, ending an almost 2,000 year period of non-intervention in earthly matters. Although Jesus was initially judgemental of the group of drunken college students, He was quick to mingle with the crowd and ended up staying at the party for nearly three hours. “I was really worried that He would send me to hell or some shit like that,” said Habershanker, “but it turns out He was just looking for a good time and some cheap beer.” After Jesus introduced himself to Habershanker, the excited host was quick to welcome the Son of God, giving Him a discount on a cup and introducing Him to his housemates. Jesus seemed appreciative of the hospitable gestures, although assured Habershanker that He already knew everyone at the party. To demonstrate, He then pointed at a group of people and remarked on how many hairs were on each of their heads. Jesus’ attendance saved the party, which was up until then boring and unsuccessful. According to Habershanker, guests were complaining that the crowd had gotten too big, and that the mix-tape being played was “lame.” Once Jesus appeared, however, people seemed to forget their qualms, rejoicing in His presence and joyfully singing hymns. “Jesus made us feel like we were all players in Our Heavenly Father’s plan, where before we were just a sweaty, uncomfortable crowd,” said one partygoer. “This was the best kegger ever!” After only a few beers, Jesus, or “Jeez” as He came to be known, began to show signs of mortal fallibility. He was seen spilling a beer on His loincloth, and repeatedly spoke of his strained relationship with His father. “He said that living in the light of God wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” said Erika Matthews, a sophomore majoring in graphic design. “God was always on his case to come down here and fix things up, and was always bugging Jeez to get a haircut.” But Jesus’ dismay soon turned to delight for all. The Lord proved to be a natural at “quarters”, hitting an unprecedented 18,000 in a row. “He totally cheated,” claimed one witness, convinced that Jesus had used a well-timed miracle to accomplish the feat. The Lord also impressed His new friends by draining a “beer bong”, although found Himself at the butt of jokes when an entire 42 ounces of Busch Light leaked out of the sword wound in his side. It was this leak, together with Jesus’ wine-like blood, which imparted upon Him an unusually high tolerance for alcohol. In fact, Jesus almost single- handedly drained a keg dry, but was quick to compensate for his gluttony by turning water from the kitchen faucet into fine imported beer. Jesus’ finest moment, however, came when He saved the party from being busted by police. Emily Stillson, an underage party-goer, explained that she and everyone else at the kegger could have been severely fined were it not for the Lord’s divine intervention. “When someone yelled ‘cops,’ we all ran for the back door,” she explained, “but Jeez told us not to fear, for we were all His flock. Anyway, once Jeez threatened the cops with time in purgatory, they left us alone.” Unfortunately, as the night wore on, Jesus became more confrontational toward the non-believers in the group. From a slumped-over position in a secluded corner, He spouted insults and accusations at the crowd, occasionally taking belts from a bottle of tequila. “He kept rambling on about how He would pass final holy judgement on us there and then,” said Habershanker, “but He was obviously just too tanked. When He started harassing some of the female guests for not being virgins, we had to ask him to leave.” Jesus was walked to the door by Habershanker and told to “walk off” the effects of the alcohol. Seemingly embarassed by His behavior, Jesus offered a slurred apology to the other guests and reminded them to always go to church on Ash Wednesday. After checking to make sure that Jesus wouldn’t be driving a car, Habershanker pointed Christ in the direction of the nearest homeless shelter and sent Him walking away. Jesus was last seen miraculously stumbling across the surface of the water in a nearby viaduct. Despite Jesus’ antisocial behavior as the night grew late, most of the guests who met Him didn’t seem to hold a grudge, and many showed up for church the next morning. “We’ve all had our share of bad drunken experiences,” said Father Patrick McCollough to the crowd of dishevel- led students who attended his mass. “We should all be willing to forgive Jesus for His actions. He died on the cross so that you kids could party!” Religious scholars around the world cannot be certain where Jesus will next appear, but most agree that the actual Second Coming will not occur until Christ our Lord recovers from what is undoubtedly the worst hangover since biblical times.

#59 Wed, 17 Mar 1999 19:25:16 Dope – a- Mean Very important – Please forward to interested parties. The space that was scheduled for the next dope fest – March 27, Saturday – has been rented out. If anybody knows anybody or anywhere, read on. If anybody passes along information leading to the arrest of a space they will receive a free six month supply of their choice of nootropics and oxygen, a $120 value, including piracetam, pramiracetam, vinpocetine, hydergine, lucidril, Homozon, and B.O.L. liquid oxygen. Or you can just have the cash. Or, a more bountiful cornucopia can be developed per your preference. Said space must be at least 2000′. Preferably not a venue per se. Preferably not a CLUB or a BAR as that would entail us having to behave semi- grown up. Owners would share a 50% monetary stake from proceeds and will have full veto powers on ensuing weirdness. “WE” will do the rest. Do it for US. Do it for your BRAINS. Cheers (let’s hope), Jeff

#69 Wed, 24 Mar 1999 00:45:09 Link look up web PierreGarroudi for where this Neurotrancemitter will be held. Also, for you lab rats… Caffeine is not addictive for most people, a new study concludes, and has little effect on human health. No, really. According to a much-promoted French study released Monday during the American Chemical Society’s annual meeting, drinking up to three cups of coffee a day has no effect on the part of the brain responsible for addiction. And it may actually be good for you. If you’re a rat. After spending two years with 30 rodents, researcher Astrid Nehlig of the French National Health Medical Research Institute found that moderate consumption increases energy and renders addiction “quite unlikely.” The study was funded by the French coffee industry and her employer. Bank loan officer Laura Comstock doesn’t hesitate when asked if she agrees with Nehlig’s conclusions. “No,” she replies flatly. Comstock must have at least two caffeinated drinks – usually tea or Diet Coke – to get through the day, plus a midmorning cup of joe. “I get headaches if I don’t drink coffee,” she said, seated at a coffee house during lunch, a cup of decaf in hand. “There’s got to be somthing to that.” According to Nehlig, seven or eight cups of java would have to be consumed in quick succession to create the same addictive brain activity as a low dose of, say, morphine. “Addiction to caffeine is not the same as addiction to mthamphetamines or cocaine or morphine,” Nehlig said. “I’m not denying that there can be a dependence on caffeine, I’m just saying that there is no adverse physical effects to using caffeine in moderate levels,” the researcher said. Caffeine studies are all over the map when it comes to health effects. Some say the d increases productivity. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based watchdog group, said it may degenerate bone mass and endanger fetuses. Roland Griffiths, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, has done extensive research on caffeine. He’s skeptical of Nehlig’s conclusions. “When you start extrapolating from rats to humans, all kinds of things change,” he said. And “there is pretty substantial literature in animals and humans showing chronic administration of caffeine produces acute dependency syndrome.” Georgina Rocha, who operates an outdoor coffee stand in Los Angeles, sees some of that every day. Does she believe caffeine is healthy for her customers? “When I drink it, I get all jumpy and hyper, so it can’t be good for them, either,” she said. Copyright 1999 The Associated Press. .

Like cockaroaches, as cocaine kingpin Tony Montagno would say. Imbalanced dopamine activity can cause brain dysfunction and disease. Since the 1970s, scientists have studied the connections between dopamine malfunction and two major Central Nervous System disorder schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. More recently, researchers have explored dopamine neurotransmission role in the abuse of ds ranging from stimulants, such as amphetamines and cocaine, to depressants, such as morphine and other opioids, and alcohol. Dopamine research has enhanced scientists’ understanding of how diseases and addictions originate and develop. This understanding is leading to new treatment possibilities. ds which act primarily as dopamine receptor agonists or antagonists can serve as important clinical tools. Dopaminergic neurotransmission can mediate or modulate behaviors ranging from ambulation and stereotypy to self-stimulation, TOP conditioned avoidance responding, feeding and drinking. Serotonin Selector was a howling success. Thank you. All the proceeds went up our nose 😉

#84 Wed, 31 Mar 1999 20:09:54 Thank you List members, Thank you. We were on to somthing unprecedented – the building of a psychedelic community. And we won’t stop here. Ironically it was illegal squatters upstairs who had the Precinct Lieutenant’s home phone, and made it all un-happen at 2am. This, following a 4am raid on Tunnell and Twilo the night before. Extra police are the price we pay for Safir streets. The next event will be incredibly discounted for list members. Coming up will be a weekly trance party 4am-3pm Fridays at the Sound Factory. You’re already on the list. More to come. -JW

#95 Wed, 7 Apr 1999 00:18:36 Wow Last Friday at the Tsunami was freaky. There were so many phantoms that one had to walk with arms outstretched, as if blind. Wild activity in every 3′ x 3′ space. Sometimes the image was a real person, sometimes just a maniacal stringless marionette puppet. Wow. Boy this sounds like spam but it is not. You can call MIAMI PARIS LONDON BRUSSELS for free. No strings right now – right now you don’t have to listen to ads until they get this service off the ground with a big ad campaign.. You just have to answer 20 questions one time.

#117 Thu, 15 Apr 1999 04:08:15 Israel June 8, 1998 – Press Release For Immediate Distribution Israeli Supreme Court Accepts Claim: “June 6 Political Event is actually a d-Party in Disguise” Organizers claim they intended to Announce a political party at the event A request to hold a political event on June 6 (planned by 2 Israeli registered NPOs as part of an international campaign), was denied by Tel-Aviv police and city-hall. The NPOs appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court, and a session was held on Friday, June 5. The police representatives claimed – “based on classified and reliable intelligence information” – that there was probable cause to assume that the event was actually “a d-party disguised as a political event”. Nimrod Kerrett – Israeli coordinator for Legalize!: “It is the 4th time since mid-April that an event where Trance music is being played is defined by the police as an event where massive d-dealing is expected, and Supreme Court accepts the claim. Our intention was to play Trance music (among many other cultural activities), in order to protest against the local attitude towards the Trance culture. Authorities are sticking the blame for the d-crisis on a musical genre, instead of admitting that the so called “war on ds” is not only ineffective, but actually increases crime, corruption, and even the d-abuse it is supposed to prevent”. legalize.org.il/pr080698.htm

Instead of having everyone on the mailing list (i assume this is who received the messages) receive and e-mail everytime there is a response, why not just have this board be on the web site and have the e-mail list be for notification of various events and guest lists. I don’t mind reading what people say in this forum (assuming they have somthing to say), but it doesn’t make sense to receive several e-mails per day of responses people have made to what they see on this e-board or of requests to be taken off this list. Don’t take me off the list, but please look into restructuring this e- board. When is the next warehouse party? I tend not to like the parties at the big clubs. I don’t like having to pay so much money just to get into a club. Heaven help me if I want to drink!!

I got a late night call from some rave girl that I used to know. She wanted to see if I was home, could she stop by with a couple of friends. They made me a drink and I passed out – and when I woke up an hour later they and my computer were gone. I checked my caller ID and called the cell phone that the girl had called from. The voice on the other end, after an hour of circling each other, was the leader of an infamous gang. I told him I knew the girl, and that I would go to the police – so he agreed to a trade. I threw in a brain machine and agreed not to turn them in, and got my computer back. If that is not a lesson in choosing your crowd wisely, I don’t know what is.

#205 Tue, 27 Apr 1999 16:19:55 The Littleton Tragedy I wore a navy trenchcoat in high school, was fascinated by the Nazis (but was not one), have a web site, was weird and smart and hated jocks and the popukar kids and like the band KMFDM and the video game Doom. And I didn’t kill anybody. IMHO these are symptoms. Attacking symptoms misses the cure, which is love, love, love. And a good butt kicking every once in a while by an authority figure. If the school would have cracked down on me I would have rebelled even more and reached a breaking point earlier than I did at college. Holden Caufield today woulda had a field day, today. I guess alienation is endemic to any high school kid who chooses – or tries to be – different.

#207 Tue, 27 Apr 1999 17:26:43 From: Robert Esris rae18 at xx.x Re: Fwd: [brainmachines] The Littleton Tragedy Certainly there are many groups responsible for millions of deaths that people are fascinated by. Fascination does not equate to endorsement or support. The Nazis are certainly an interesting group of people to study just because of the power they were able to wield and the mindset they had. Not that I’d want to meet one. I mean, to take it even further one could say that pink floyd (or at least roger waters) had some degree of fascination with the Nazis, but that doesn’t mean he supported them in any way or that he was one. -Rob In a message dated 4/27/99 4:35:27 PM, t at mba1999.hbs writes:I am sure I am reading this wrong, but I would hate to think you were fascinated with the Nazis, who were responsible for the deaths of many of my family members.

#210 Tue, 27 Apr 1999 19:22:08 email to terence mckenna Hello Terence, When you come speak in Manhattan May 6, as a token of our appreciation for the exploration you have undertaken we’d like to present to you a customized Muse Sharp light glass unit with the TruWhite LED glasses, a recent development, a $269 value. The technology has advanced recently, what with Moore’s Law and the accelerating market for mind tools. We’re not looking for an endorsement, this is just a compact and effective communications device we think you’d find pretty useful, in a visually geometric sort of way. We’ll be attending the Lighthouse on May 6. If you see somebody with light glasses after the talk, that’s me, with the device. I just wanted to assure you that I’m not some Sharper Image gadget freak – or some antiextropian eschaphobe from a bad Star Trek episode. We in New York have been experimenting with TruWhite LED light glasses and have found them to be an interesting novel tool in our explorations. Used with binaural beat sounds, they are excellent training wheels that remove any distractions whilst inner exploring. It’s been great fun, and the elves don’t seem to mind, in fact, they begin waering hyperdimensional versions of light glasses that truly boggle the mind. Of course, later sessions take place in the Rambles in Central Park, but that’s another story. Our site is at We have created entire “Neurotrancemitter” Trance music events surrounding the elves. In a way, we’re really just fronting for them. I left Bloomberg Financial News recently to pursue this endeavor, and was inspired by your example. Let me know if you would like me to show you how to best use these devices, for I have a lot of practice. There is also a wonderful Israeli psychedelic trance party the next evening if you’re in town, right next to where you spoke before at the Wetlands. Bom!

#213 Wed, 28 Apr 1999 14:11:05 From: “Milton Durr” miltondurr at x.x Re: The Littleton Tragedy I agree. It is entirely too facile to blame the Internet or ‘goth’ subculture or whatever. At the end of the day, the problem is those boys didn’t have the strength to reconcile their need to release their obvious anger and agression with their need to function healthily in society. I am no stranger to murderous rages (which are always interesting to experience but dangerous to pursue or ignore) but I also know better than to run with those emotions, or any other surge of emotion, whether ‘good’ or ‘bad’ I happen to have been a fan of the Goth scene since 1982 and am also a fan of Whitehouse, J.W. Gacy the Nazis and number of other things that are singularly violent and socially ‘abhorent’ but I don’t go out hurt people or spread the sort of other-bound negativity that seems de riguer amongst people who latch onto those things as an excuse to be deviant. I do find that most of the people i have to deal with leave a lot to be desired, but i also know that i don’t have to kill them to get them out of my hair. I personally find it cathartic to blast some Whitehouse if I’m in an exceptionally nasty mood (though I’m not too particular about the misogny of their lyrics, though i understand it as their means to the end which is what i appreciate). Then again, the same therapeutic effect can be obtained from Stravinsky (Rite of Spring) or Carl Orff (De Temporum Fine Comedia) though I wouldn’t expect the average high school student to be aware of such possibilities in classical music. I would be curious to find out how these boys conducted themselves on a more day to day level. how did they deal with simple everyday shit? I doubt we’ll ever find out such essential information about the quality of their character’s amidst all the hype and knee-jerk reaction that this has caused.

The stuff on Blue Room comes closest to my tastes for home listening. I like more flexible, middle eastern rhythms. but that isn’t what I hear out in the clubs. I also like the mix to be REALLY REALLY busy and the structure of the song to be more intricate. Sort of like if Atom Heart or Mouse on Mars did Goa. Though I wouldn’t mind dancing to the TIP stuff in a club, I get bored with it rather quickly when i listen to it at home. So far, Juno Reactor, Eat Static and koxbox are my consistent favorites.

The number one destination after that is Goa, India. There is a whole community of them there. After they come back to Israel (some don’t) they try to re-create the scene out there and do a damn good job.

#238 Fri, 30 Apr 1999 03:58:02 From: “Milton Durr” miltondurr at x.x Re: Why are Israeli’s always associated with trance? SPARE ME!!! This issue isn’t who’s doing what illegal ds. The real point is the caliber of the crowd and the atmosphere that comes from the ds they do. The crowd at Twilo/Tunnel is all about being on their d of choice, which is usually K or C, neither of which contribute to a interpersonal, party atmosphere.

I never said that doing acid, etc necessarily means that you are spiritually open. What I said is that E, pot, acid, etc LEND THEMSELVES to mind-expanding experiences and that being in a room full of people on those substances has a very different effect from being in a room full of people on C,K, mth, what have you. Im not particular about the crowd at those places, period. It is the same basic crowd I could find in any number of bars/clubs around town. Im not inspired by them when theyre sober. Im not inspired by them when theyre chemically altered. But I have been in situations where Ive seen people of that sort on E, pot, acid, etc and the effect of them on those substances has been very interesting. Not that they are any wiser, or any more inspiring, but the effect that them being on those substances had on the environment was truly interesting. Them having very basic conversations about the opposite sex, sports, music, whatever had an entirely different quality because of the state they were in. Even when Ive seen people having a very bad trip, the fact remains that they are in a certain state with relatively high potential, afforded by the presence of that substance in their system. Whether or not they can enjoy it and the possibilities that can be accessed when it that state is really of no interest to me. Even somthing as simple as hanging out with someone on acid when Im not is still fun because you can pick up some of their state just from being around them. I would be hard pressed to say the same about being in a room full of people on C or K. Ive done C and K myself, and what I observed happening in other people on those ds is the same thing that happened to me. Granted, there are certain things that K can give you access to, but connectivity with the environment doesnt seem to be its strong point. It seems very visceral yet self-enclosed. Even doing somthing as basic as listening to music, at least for me, seemed to have the quality of listening to it from WITHIN an enclosure, similar to listening to the stereo really loud but from the next room. On more expansive substances, I can quite easily fuse with the sound/environment. On K it was truly difficult and on C seemed near impossible. The observation that people who enjoy mind expansion enjoy acid, etc and those whose tastes lay elsewhere enjoy different substances doesnt address the central point of my original posting, which had to do with effect that these substances have on the atmosphere at the party.

What I said is that E, pot, acid, etc LEND THEMSELVES to mind-expanding experiences and that being in a room full of people on those substances has a very different effect from being in a room full of people on C,K, mth, what have you. IAEm not particular about the crowd at those places, period. It is the same basic crowd I could find in any number of bars/clubs around town. IAEm not inspired by them when theyAEre sober. IAEm not inspired by them when theyAEre chemically altered. But I have been in situations where IAEve seen people of that sort on E, pot, acid, etc and the effect of them on those substances has been very interesting. Not that they are any wiser, or any more inspiring, but the effect that them being on those substances had on the environment was truly interesting. Them having very basic conversations about the opposite sex, sports, music, whatever had an entirely different quality because of the state they were in. Even when IAEve seen people having a very bad trip, the fact remains that they are in a certain state with relatively high potential, afforded by the presence of that substance in their system. Whether or not they can enjoy it and the possibilities that can be accessed when it that state is really of no interest to me. Even somthing as simple as hanging out with someone on acid when IAEm not is still fun because you can pick up some of their state just from being around them. I would be hard pressed to say the same about being in a room full of people on C or K. IAEve done C and K myself, and what I observed happening in other people on those ds is the same thing that happened to me. Granted, there are certain things that K can give you access to, but connectivity with the environment doesnAEt seem to be its strong point. It seems very visceral yet self-enclosed. Even doing somthing as basic as listening to music, at least for me, seemed to have the quality of listening to it from WITHIN an enclosure, similar to listening to the stereo really loud but from the next room.

But you have to be realistic about what I’m talking about. The parties are still part of a public setting. It isn’t communal in the sense that everyone knows everyone and lives together peacefully. I don’t think that what I said is that difficult to understand. It is very easy to try to reify ‘communal’ and begin all sorts of verbal prestidigiation-filled dialogue that ultimately goes nowhere, but then that misses the point of what started this series of e-mails to begin with… If you honestly view the ‘scene’ as bloodless, Republican and facetious, then why do you bother with this???? Those aren’t the sorts of words you use to describe somthing that you enjoy and spend your time and energy on. If you honestly think that way, then why do you bother with this bulletin board and the brainmachines website? If it is so bloodless, then why not go do somthing else? Maintaining these forums must take a lot of time and dedication. Why dedicate yourself to somthing that is facetious. I don’t have any illusions of ‘community’ in the sense that you seem to think I do. When it comes down to the nitty gritty of dealing with people one on one, it is back to square one, as far as i’m concerned. Kindred spirits are never that easily found. I only frequent this scene because, like with punk when it first started, there are good ideas floating around and an actual ‘somthing’ tends to happen when these people get together.. .

Just to clarify my earlier remarks… Compare 2 day rave/bonding experience to a six to twelve hour intense party and you can better understand what i meant. Come to Twilo on a Friday night chances are you’ll probobly see me there along with everyone else dancing and having a good time. However in contrast to your typical Israeli trance, it doesn’t come close. Not necasserily do I want that either. In israel i didn’t have to work and had no responsibilities whereas here i have abusiness to run and bills to pay. I am completely comfertable with this and i appreciate EVERYTHING everyone that is involved with these parties do. In fact I had hands on experience with a Goa Trance party that my associates made at Twilo a few month’s ago and even after months of hard work and lots of money it flopped. The e-droppers at Twilo/tunnel make a nice party, and i enjoy them and regularly attend them as well, but a nice 24, even 12 hour trance party will always be appreciated here. Have a nice weekend to all.. Zev

#263 Fri, 30 Apr 1999 19:09:20 From: LoAnne & Mojo a-loanne at xx.x Re: PERCEPTION REALITY ? Milton, I believe I was very to the point, you just missed it. Yes, the chemical changes that take place in our bodies/brains when we ingest a particular substance are indeed similar. However, human beings are not lab rats. We do not all have the same bodies or minds. Aspirin does nothing for my headache while Ibuprofin works like a charm. When it comes to psychoactives some people are lightwieghts – 1/2 a normal dose will send them flying; some people are hardheads – they need twice the normal dose just to get a threshold effect. Some people would suffer permanent pychological damage from just one full blown dose of l while others eat it like candy. In my own experiments I’ve found that many times a group of different people who take the same dose of the same d in the same environment have widely varying experiences. Some peoples trips are very visual, others are more body oriented. Why should our individual response to ds be any different than our response to say music or food. What a scary world it would be if we were all just biological automatons. Oh yeah one last thing – Handy-dandy expression?!?! It’s called an analogy and I think it ecapsulates my whole argument quite effectively. ds don’t make a scene happen, people do…..Mojo Quaint but not to the point. The fact is, we all have the same bodies and what happens to me should be similar to what happens to you, though we may process what is happening to us differently. To think that just because I have a unique body means that I don’t share common traits with other humans is naive to say the least.

#265 Sat, 01 May 1999 02:27:31 From: “Milton Durr” miltondurr at x.x PERCEPTION DECEPTION-REALITY ? I think you need to reread what I said. i really am not interested in what someone’s individual ‘trip’ is like. I was talking about the effect that their state (d-induced in this instance) has on the environment that they’re in. Whether you’re having a heady trip or a visual trip or an emotional trip is really immaterial from the standpoint of the situation as a whole. The fact that you are in that state, to whatever degree, has an effect on the surroundings. And this is accentuated by being in a situation that supports and encourages the types of things that can happen to those that have accessed that state. As for your analogy, I stand by what I said. It was quaint, but did not address what I was saying. Your current response to my comments have not addressed what I’ve said either. And yes, ds don’t make the scene, the people do. But if you go through the history of the multilogue on this subject on this bulletin board, you will see that the reason why we are even on this subject is that someone had a problem with Zev not being all that particular about the crowd at Twilo/Tunnel and the ds that they do. I’m usually not on anything when I go to these parties and it doesn’t matter because the vibe supercedes everything. If what is boosting the vibe is the fact that a number of people are on psychoactive ds then fine; I enjoy being around tripping people because their state rubs off on me. I would still have just as much fun if they weren’t tripping and don’t think that the ds are an indispensable part of having an intense time. Never said that and never will. It isn’t like I was making comments about obscure, abstruse things that are out of the range of experience of most people. Anyone who has bothered to observe the different effects that different ds have on a group situation will understand what I mean and what probably prompted Zev’s original comment that started this whole ‘debate’. If you don’t understand, then say so and someone will gladly point you in a fruitful direction. If anyone else cares to address this issue, go right ahead. I have nothing else to say on the subject.

The ‘vibe’ put off by people on ds at a party or wherever is a dynamic interaction between the d, the people and the environment. We’ve all experienced a ‘contact high’ from people on ds, but it is my opinion that you are trying to over simplify the situation.

#285 Tue, 4 May 1999 10:27:33 Re: Here is an excellent example of a post Greetings to all, Even though I am in Germany for the next 2 months, I have become aware of the situation this past weekend of the club closings around the city by my favorite mayor Guiliani. These are bullying tactics by this asshole who knows its his last term and wants to look good for everyone that does not live in Manhattan or the burroughs for that matter. That would vote for him for senator, They have no idea what its like to live in the city, I would like to know what they would say if Guliani closed down their favorite hillbilly, redneck upstate local bar or stopped 7 Eleven from serving beer. These voters couldn’t buy rhythm if they wanted to, So they don’t give a shit about clubs or dancing, I would like to remind everyone of the movie Footloose, as silly and as ludicrous this film was it is actually happening in our city which is supposed to be the one of the cultural hubs of the world. We cannot let this go on, Need I remind everyone the power that is bestowed in this country to the people, we need to stop this in its tracks before it becomes a political trend in this city regardless of who is in office. We need to make ourselves heard instead of just standing by, scratching our heads and saying thats messed up. We need to let whichever crooked asshole is coming to office next we will not stand for these illegal raids on our constitutional right to dance and rejoice at the fact that life is hard enough and we need remind ourselves why we are alive and on this planet. I have seen this forthcoming for some time as most of you will know . Now it is starting to affect everyone who would like the freedom to blow off some steam on a FUCKING SATURDAY NIGHT! I will be returning to NYC and will not stand by and let this happen, We are all intelligent, tax paying citizens that have rights. Please don’t be complacent and let this go on. Every fight is not an easy one. Investigate find out what can be done and I and I’m sure most of us will stand behind it. – O – P.S Forward this to everyone and spread the word You have it all wrong Omar. You see, the Tunnel is an abomination. We need more tourist friendly places like Caliente Cab Company and Jeckyl & Hyde and Bleecker Street. We need Downtown to be more like Hoboken. That’s right, more like Jersey. So we can welcome the beer dollar and not the Edollar from trendy dancing Frenchies. Didn’t you see that WWII movie with Tom Hanks, and they save the French little girl and she cries…… Typical frogs they have no respect. And do you want the Edollars to go to Michael Alig? You know he gets it all even from “behind bars”. That’s what it’s all about. You got a problem with that? Hey, Omar is a foreigner name isn’t it? You people just like big crowds so you can smuggle the bombs in. Satan comes in many disguises my friends, including a “Velvet Jones.” The CIA has been watching this character for years. And if you FATWA me I’ll FATCHICK you. I’ll take Rush over Rushie any day, Satan spawn. Boy, I can’t wait to get less time on my hands when I get a job one of these days… In all seriousness, it’s good that Giuliani is messin’ wit da mix ‘cuz now there are unbelievable outlaw trance parties thrown by the Israelis under the GW Bridge… Oh, and Edollar stands for Eurodollar, for those not financially inclined.

#287 Tue, 04 May 1999 17:20:33 From: “Milton Durr” miltondurr at x.x Terence McKenna & The Hafler Trio I skimmed through some of the stuff on the website re: Terence McKenna. He sounds quite fun. Exactly what time will he be speaking? (Maybe I’m just overlooking some obvious info on the site) Also, I’m not sure if anyone checking this board will be interested, but the Hafler Trio will be appearing at the Cooler on Saturday. They’re a well-known, experimental ‘group’ (it primarily consists of one person with varying collaborators) whose music has been quite influential over the past ten years or so. For those who haven’t heard them, their music tends to be very thick, intricate masses of organized sound, generally not abrasive, but not ‘relaxing’ in the usual sense of passive, take-me-on-a-soma-holiday entertainment. They don’t use beats of any sort,(though their older material tended toward rapid audio-collage which produced its own sort of rhythm) It is primarily pulsing masses of sound, the effect of which is very visceral and starts to affect your perception after a while, which is what they aim for. I’m not sure what the opening performances will be like, but it is almost guarenteed to be a full-on multi-media experience. Hey, Jeff, can I upload a sample of their stuff and attach it to an e-mail, or would that be a copyright infringement?

Maybe it is the combination of an earnest DIY attitude on the part of the organizers and the illegality of it that makes for a fun event. Even during crackdown periods like this one, there’s always somthing going on, you just have to dig deeper for it. Giuliani might make me work harder for my fun, but the returns are usually more than worth it.

So, the average dick on the street has no place to go to thug around and rob. Young teenagers, unable to find places to buy ds, might study more and learn about the world before they, inevitably, grow older and do ds when they have jobs to excel in or families to raise. So when they re-enter a club scene they are stronger. There is a correlation between teens who do ds and dropout rates. If you have no high school education, a dead end is all the more likely. ds done too often destroy lives, I know that for a fact. If young people can wait until their career is in place, or education, then it is soooo much easier to bounce back if you ever stray too far. I’m speaking from experience, every 7 years I go completely fucking nuts and almost clinically anarchistic. Every 7 years I rip authority a new, bigger one, until I burn out. Anyway, the parties that do happen are more spontaneous and special. That’s looking at it optimistically. And it won’t be forever, a Democrat will inevitably come along and build on Rudy’s rebuilding of New York’s fiscal stability.

That’s too funny that you saw Zoviet France for that tour! LOL! I was lucky enough to see two consecutive shows they did on that tour. What they did at one show really confirmed my belief that states can be communicated to people thru music. There was a point during the show where everything shifted quite palpably and i felt like i’d been placed in a state not quite like anything i’d experienced before. Hard to explain., Afterwards, i asked people if they noticed anything and everyone i talked to said that at a definite point, and pretty much the same point in time, SOmthING HAPPENED. Everyone seemed to feel that they’d been placed in a curious state. Definitely an experience i’ll remember to my dying day… I saw Merzbow a while ago. The show wasn’t loud enough. I had the same complaint about Whitehouse. I love NWW, there’s no end to his mischief (well, Rock and Roll Station was pretty questionable) Never heard of Runzelstien & Gurglestock, what are they like. ‘tac’? Do you mean TAG (The Anti-Group)? if not, i’m in the dark. My tastes are more Maurizio Bianchi, Zoviet France, Pierre Schaeffer, TAG/Clock DVA, Ussachevsky. SBOTHI/P16.D4, AMM. I never get to see this sort of thing live anymore. I haven’t found this scene in NY yet (i knew of several places in Cleveland to hear this sort of thing).

I think the easiest way to identify me is by clothing: I’ll wear my Zoviet France T-shirt and my big, black raver pants (LOL!!). If I have to wear somthing else, I’ll e-mail you. bahahaha, i have a zoviet france t-shirt from the same era as the hafler trio show, my friend also set up a show for them in knoxville as well. that was a pretty hip show actually. they set up all their synths and other little noisemaking trinkets and sat crosslegged on the floor and did the whole show that way. it was quite cool. so let me throw out a few names of other freakoid experimentalists from that scene you might be into, it’s odd to find someone with interest in such obscure stuff… how about merzbow, runzelstien & gurglestock, tac, on all fours, nurse with wound, biota.. -CLiff

Guliani and his jack-booted thugs filled Twilo w/displaced ravers for the last time!!!! Fight back!! Think about it, what are you really doing that’s so flippin’ wrong??!! NOTHING!! Betcha boy if benito Guliani could make a buck off me bumpin’ K…….. Stand by your house!! Greetings to all, Even though I am in Germany for the next 2 months, I have become aware of the situation this past weekend of the club closings around the city by my favorite mayor Guiliani. These are bullying tactics by this asshole who knows its his last term and wants to look good for everyone that does not live in Manhattan or the burroughs for that matter. That would vote for him for senator, They have no idea what its like to live in the city, I would like to know what they would say if Guliani closed down their favorite hillbilly, redneck upstate local bar or stopped 7 Eleven from serving beer. These voters couldn’t buy rhythm if they wanted to, So they don’t give a shit about clubs or dancing, I would like to remind everyone of the movie Footloose, as silly and as ludicrous this film was it is actually happening in our city which is supposed to be the one of the cultural hubs of the world. We cannot let this go on, Need I remind everyone the power that is bestowed in this country to the people, we need to stop this in its tracks before it becomes a political trend in this city regardless of who is in office. We need to make ourselves heard instead of just standing by, scratching our heads and saying thats messed up. We need to let whichever crooked asshole is coming to office next we will not stand for these illegal raids on our constitutional right to dance and rejoice at the fact that life is hard enough and we need remind ourselves why we are alive and on this planet. I have seen this forthcoming for some time as most of you will know . Now it is starting to affect everyone who would like the freedom to blow off some steam on a FUCKING SATURDAY NIGHT! I will be returning to NYC and will not stand by and let this happen, We are all intelligent, tax paying citizens that have rights. Please don’t be complacent and let this go on. Every fight is not an easy one. Investigate find out what can be done and I and I’m sure most of us will stand behind it. – O – P.S Forward this to everyone and spread the word You have it all wrong Omar. You see, the Tunnel is an abomination. We need more tourist friendly places like Caliente Cab Company and Jeckyl & Hyde and Bleecker Street. We need Downtown to be more like Hoboken. That’s right, more like Jersey. So we can welcome the beer dollar and not the Edollar from trendy dancing Frenchies. Didn’t you see that WWII movie with Tom Hanks, and they save the French little girl and she cries…… Typical frogs they have no respect. And do you want the Edollars to go to Michael Alig? You know he gets it all even from “behind bars”. That’s what it’s all about. You got a problem with that? Hey, Omar is a foreigner name isn’t it? You people just like big crowds so you can smuggle the bombs in. Satan comes in many disguises my friends, including a “Velvet Jones.” The CIA has been watching this character for years. And if you FATWA me I’ll FATCHICK you. I’ll take Rush over Rushie any day, Satan spawn. Boy, I can’t wait to get less time on my hands when I get a job one of these days… In all seriousness, it’s good that Giuliani is messin’ wit da mix ‘cuz now there are unbelievable outlaw trance parties thrown by the Israelis under the GW Bridge… Oh, and Edollar stands for Eurodollar, for those not financially inclined.

#324 Wed, 05 May 1999 02:31:20 From: “Milton Durr” miltondurr at x.x Re: Terence McKenna & The Hafler Trio i did enjoy their show as it was a bit more musical than most ‘experimental’ groups, although i can appreciate the ‘anti-art’ noise approach, i just can’t dance to it You should check out some of the Zoviet France side projects: Ingelton Falls and Horizon 222. They both sound pretty similar, tribal/trancey sort of stuff. Also, Rapoon is a solo project by one of the ZF guys. Beautiful stuff. A must-hear. Never heard of Ted Milton. Do tell. (Maybe you should respond privately. The other people on this e-board might be tired of the obscurity of our conversation) Merzbow simply was not loud enough. The sound guy apparently wasn’t used to that kind of music and refused to turn it up. I could hear conversations of people a few rows back. Whitehouse angry about somthing. Au contraire! TG/Chris & Cosey/Coil/PTV are all quite fun in their own ways. I too lost touch with the scene (forcibly since I was in Asia, though I did find some fun people over there). I also thought things had reached a point where a lot of what I was hearing seemed like bad imitations of better, earlier stuff. It seems that this has passed, as it always does, and things are sounding good again. Quebec seems to be a hot spot for now. I still love the old musique concrete. I just got the Pierre Scaeffer box set that came out recently. Beautiful and and innocently exhuberant. I’m reaching the point where I might start looking into organizing such events. I don’t know how and I’m quite broke, but the punks always managed so there’s probably no reason why I can’t. From: “Cliff Hall” cliff at hotbot [brainmachines] Re: Terence McKenna & The Hafler Trio Tue, 04 May 1999 14:13:54 From: “Cliff Hall” cliff at hotbot That’s too funny that you saw Zoviet France for that tour! LOL! I was lucky enough to see two consecutive shows they did on that tour. that’s so whack! i did enjoy their show as it was a bit more musical than most ‘experimental’ groups, although i can appreciate the ‘anti-art’ noise approach, i just can’t dance to it 😉 how about ted milton? I saw Merzbow a while ago. The show wasn’t loud enough. any louder and you start damaging the internal organs of the listeners which can be somewhat of a downer… I had the same complaint about Whitehouse. my friend set up a show for whitehouse as well. lots of distorted screaming into the mic about anal sex there. i think their a little angry about somthing…;) SBOTHI/P16.D4 swimming behavior of the human infant. yes, i’ve several tapes but never seen them. same with p16/d4. i’ve got a nice little cutout and foldup thingy p16/d4 did with one of their releases that spurred me to do somthing similar with one of my tapes awhile back. very cool. how about throbbing gristle/chris&cosy? I never get to see this sort of thing live anymore. I haven’t found this scene in NY yet (i knew of several places in Cleveland to hear this sort of thing). Do you know anybody in town bringing in these sorts of shows? it’s been *years* since i’ve seen or heard from any of these groups. i sort of fell out of the genre a while back as it was so hard to keep up with all the little labels that deal in the stuff, they’re always closing down and starting up again somewhere else. since my friend who was setting up those shows in knoxville moved to atlanta in ’94 or so, i’ve been totally out of touch. which was why it was such a blast from the past to hear somebody else into this stuff… -cliff

#327 Wed, 05 May 1999 02:50:53 From: “Milton Durr” miltondurr at x.x Re: In defense of McKenna Sorry to offend your seasoned sensibilities, jawbone. This does not change the fact that in an anonymous, public setting such as a ‘rave’, I am often scrutinized in such a way that it is obvious that I am ‘suspect’ (in a way different from other social situations). If you bother reading the rest of the thread, you’ll realize that I don’t spend my evening worrying about this or anything else. Anyway, I would much rather party with a younger crowd than with people in my own age group. At least the younger crowd hasn’t slipped into the we’re-older-so-we-have-to-have-more-cultured-dignified-evening-soirres sort of attitude.

Yes injection of a whole bottle with ascorbic acid, buffer, and Gingko Biloba, from Al Garcia, whose brother was on a recent cover of New York Magazine as part of the new alternative medical establishment in New York. Injection gave me 2 days of cognitive enhancement satori, but for the long haul take it orally. Piracetam is far cheaper and in the long run all you need. The much stronger Pramiracetam (Neupramir) is $2 a pill, which is always felt after 6 hours. Piracetam takes 2-4 weeks.

Due to and unforseeable and horrible act of yellow journalism by Fox News, Buzz, the home of DC Sting parties and a major hub of the east coast rave scene, has been shut down until further notice. This is just one more hit to the American Rave culture that is driving us back to the underground. I’m sick of all the negative bullshit shed upon our scene. DC kids are taking action.. Protest will be held at FOX in DC at 5151 Wisconsin Ave at 9 oclock. I know most of you are in NY but just in case your interested, I’m forwarding this info to you. You see, this doesn’t just concern DC kids, this concerns everybody involved in the rave culture.. You saw how the Tunnel and Sound Factory got shut down just two weeks ago. Clubs are being shut down all over the country. It’s time to take a stance. Support your fellow ravers either in person or in spirit at Fox in DC. If you can’t attend, call in your support to Spacechild at 301-869-7681. All the support is appreciated!! It’s time for us to unite! To everyone… P*L*U*R*! KiPhat

#367 Fri, 7 May 1999 11:51:55 From: Mark deJong dejongm at xx.x Re: Buzz.. DC.. Shut down! Fox actually had investigative reporters go into the venue and scope out all the kids the were cracked out and fucked up on E or whatever. They wen’t and interviewed these kids and as stupid as they were, the kids started talking about how good their fucking roll was going. All this will being taped by hidden cameras. The segment was about 10 minutes long and only showed the negative side of the rave scene. (negative as in, negative to the masses. I know not all of you see ds as a negative. Just wanted to get that accross :)) They failed to show that raving also has a sober side. Anyway..

#371 Fri, 7 May 1999 13:11:01 Time Out New York Time Out New York article on TRANCE TONIGHTall of ya’ll emails are on the Neurotrancemitter list. Btmap Picture attached, text here: Two strains of trance are currently in vogue. One, commonly referred to as Eurotrance (Eurodiscus hypnoticus satinus), is essentially a heterosexual version of HINRG that has found enthusiastic champions in English “Victrologists” like Paul Oakenfold. The male of the species seems fond of shiny shirts in man-made fabrics, while the female often sports satiny bras and body-conscious stretch skirts and dresses. Goa, or psychedelic, trance (Eurodiscus hypnoticus hippie), on the other hand, is Eurotrance’s grungier parent. Born of the hippie beach parties of India and Thailand, this style emphasizes pseudo-Eastern psychedelic motifs and the heavy “acid” sound of the Roland 303 bass synthesizer. Goa trancers are believed to be descended from the Deadhead and trustafarian orders, both of which have, through evolution, developed the ability to survive for months without a shower or haircut. Additionally, much of the population is of Israeli origin, although science has yet to come up with an explanation for this. (From Time Out New York)

#372 Fri, 07 May 1999 10:54:59 From: “Cliff Hall” cliff at hotbotmckenna (and an unexpected shamanic rant) so how many of us attended mckenna’s little talk last night? can we see show of hands? i personally thought he was quite cogent and more on topic than he *usually* is. he has a tendancy to wander all over the board, sometimes only coming back round to the point long after you’ve forgotten that there was a thrust toward any particular point to begin with. not that that’s bad, it’s just his style. btw- milton, christina, i had 3 pair of helen’s phat pants with me in my bag, but unfortunately my psychic abilities were apparently on vacation, and i didn’t manage to pick up your vibes and single you out of the maddening crowd. i’m sure everyone figured out who jeff was, if the flashing brainmachine goggles didn’t give him away, surely his question to terrance about whether he “saw crass commercialization turning d into the ‘Bud Light’ of psychedelics in the future” could’ve been a clue… 😉 jeff, i we know you were an adman once, but i doubt the elves would allow advertising billboards to be erected alongside their hyperspace bypasses. when you’re traveling that fast, you have *no* time for consumerism! oh, and i don’t know if anyone here caught it, as he didn’t elaborate, but mckenna made a great analogy about the mthod with which shamanism has emerged from the jungles. i was describing the way that at the turn of the century we’d gotten very interested in the aborriginal peoples and had gone to their lands and returned with their masks and artwork and *medicine chests* and brought them back here for study. and that although we saw that as us seeking greater understanding of these ‘less-civilised’ cultures, that those things came to us as a sort of ‘trojan horse’. then he moved on. what he was referring to here is how d and other shmanic allies came to our ‘civilization’ wrapped in the trappings of a culture study, but have begun to extend their tendrils into our culture. the ‘archaic revival’ as he referrs to it, the rise of interest in tribalism and shamanism in our culture is quite interesting seeing as how we have ‘civilised’ ourselves and left such ‘primitive’ things behind. but when these things came back from the jungle to be studied, the powerful underlying memes infected our group conciousness and began to take hold. in this way the trojan horse rolled up to the ‘walled city’ of our unsuspecting civilisation and when we brought it inside, these powerful things poured out – silently, stealthly, into our culture and began to take root. shamanism – enlightenment, spirituality, wisdom and guidance aided by the botanical allies of the shaman, is somthing that is transforming our society from the underside. our society is based on such rigid rulesets none of which explain or offer assistance in the most basic of human endeavors: *being*. that is to say, existing in harmony with the universe around us and finding inner peace even though we are buffeted about on a sea of unending turmoil. d (or any chemical ally) does not encode the wisdom of the ages in a molecule. if that were the case, we could isolate some ‘magic compound’, give it to everyone at bith like a ‘chaos innoculation’ and then we’d all grow up to live in harmony. in the jungles, the shaman uses d and other allies to ‘speak to the spirit world,’ allowing him to tap into the wisdom of his ancestors which he uses to guide his tribe. not everyone in the tribe becomes a shaman. the shaman isn’t ‘elected.’ the old shaman seeks and grooms his replacement from the tribe as he grows older. for whatever reason, some are meant to be shaman, and some aren’t. and you *NEVER* know who the shaman are. some people smoke d and never get more from it than a sense of amazement and wonder, some are frightened at the sheer vastness of what they saw and never wish to go back. to some, the only thing they see is incredible ‘brain-candy’ for 5 minutes. but some are profoundly, irrevocably and fundamentally *changed* by the experience. this is what happened to me. the experience – as breathtaking and awe inspiring as it was – was only the tip of the iceberg! in the weeks following, insights that permanantly rearanged my belief system were pouring into my head at a fantastic rate, with such clarity it was astonishing. and i was left with an eternal flame of peace burning inside my chest. and a knowledge that all that i had considered important was, in fact, frivolous. that there are two important things for me to do with my life: 1) to BE, 2)to connect with others and spread this meme. the first part sounds rather overly simple, but then zen monks spend their lives in constant struggle for the attainment of just this. to BE – unfettered by worry or regret, to cast aside expectations and live in what terrance calls the ‘felt presence of immediate existance’ – requires constant attention to one’s motivations, and one’s purpose. truly *being* requires only that you banish the constant internal chatter of mind and thought, allowing you – the observer, to become one with the universe about you – the observed. when this state – satori, is achieved, you have reached the pinnacale of what it is to *be*. it is at this point that you realise that there is a grand orderly design unfolding all around us and we are all a part of it, all connected, the threads of our individual lives weaving together to form the great tapestry of human existance. and when you have glimpsed this Grand Orderly Design (refer to it by acronym if you’d like), the peace that besets you cannot be shaken, cannot ever become doubt, cannot be dislodged or displaced by other memes, for knowledge of it is the most powerful meme that man is capable of playing host to. the second part – connecting with others and spreading this meme, is where shamanism becomes more than a road to personal enlightenment. for as i said, the peace and enlightenment are *not* encoded in a molecule. you cannot expect J. Random Citydeweller to consume a ‘hit’ of d and gain spiritual enlightenment as easy as cracking open a Bud Light and watching the game on ESPN. he needs direction. and he may never need to take the d to see ‘the light’. each person’s path to enlightenment is uniquely his own. but once you have seen the light, it is obvious that you must help others to see it as well. and i don’t mean by cramming any particular ideology down anyone’s throat as is the way with ‘organized’ religion. ‘you must believe this or you’ll burn in hell!’ no, that is not the way. the way is quite simply to face each person you contact in life with the concious thought: ‘this person is both my student and my teacher’ acknowledge the fact that no matter who the person is, they have *somthing* for you. some bit of wisdom intended solely for your consumption. they may not know it, but they are carrying around somthing in their experience which was meant to be passed on to you. and you must be about your business of finding out what that is with *everyone* you meet. when you begin to see people this way, your threshold for triviality lowers considerably. you begin to be very attentive with people, to see who they really are, to ‘break the ice’ with people quickly, so as to get on with the real business of figuring out what your connection with them is meant to be and what wisdom is to be shared. you are not only listening for what it is that they have for *you*, but for clues to what it is that you have for *them*. and when your connection has been forged you begin to pass on to them – in that unique way that each human connection has – to pass on your peace. and in this way, shamanism is merely about individuals finding inner peace and passing it on to others. not via dogma or organised ‘schools of thought,’ but on a personal one to one basis. and to close this *totally unexpected* shamanic rant that just popped out of my head, i’ll share a little zen joke which sort of illustrates my point about shamanism as opposed to organised dogma as a way of bringing one’s fellow man closer to enlightenment. two zen masters were walking along a path in the woods, when one stopped suddenly and bent down to pick up somthing that had caught his eye. the other asked ‘what have you found there, friend?’ to which the first replies ‘why, i think a bit of truth!’ the second smiles broadly and exclaims ‘wonderful! lets go back to town and organise it!’ -Cliff

If you think it has changed in the last 6 months you have to have been there a few years ago. I have to say it became more mainstream in mid 97 when the bear drinking Zei club people found out that they could pick up “X” (AS THEY CALLED IT) there. The scene went bad then since, as you know, those two crowds do not mix well. Beer drinking red-necks making fun and staring at the ravers. From then on it was all downhill. Re: the new generation of ravers, I have to say I realy experienced that at a party I went to recently in NJ called Countddown by Symty Prod. The kids were 14 years old. I do not know if it was because of the age factor, but there was no vibe at all. No dancing just lying around on the floor making out.

#389 Fri, 07 May 1999 13:28:07 From: “Cliff Hall” cliff at xxx.x Re: An unexpected shamanic rant i’m going to the Blue Room thing tonight, though i’m still much too beat. should be good. tsunami trance parties are almost always events that trancesend the norm. i’ll certainly be there. look for me. i’ll be wearing a pair of fuzzy phat pants that helen made me, black with white dots, with pockets and insets of white with black dots. and a black einsturzende neubauten (sp) t-shirt. also, you’ll be able to pick me out of the crowd at the moment as i currently look like a chernobyl radiation victim. well, not that bad, but it sure feels like it. bad sunburn that came back from vacation with me. You ARE going to the Hafler Trio aren’t you? i may. i really want to, but this weekend i’ve got a lot of recording and editing to do and i’ll prolly end up blowing out all the stops tonight. we’ll certainly see. Sounds like you were quite inspired, Cliff. that would be an understatement 😉 my experience with d was much like what is referred to in the priesthood as ‘getting the calling’. only i don’t want to ‘convert’ people to any particular belief. i only want to nudge them in the general direction of the trailhead to their own path to enlightenment. Can we expect more of this from you? the brainmachine list’s techno-shaman in residence? hhmmm… the wise word of the day: ‘Don’t squeeze the shaman!’ 😉 And yes, ” you *NEVER* know who the shaman are”… you fished out of that rant a very important point. when approaching people, the ‘teacher and student’ philosophy of interaction can only work when you drop any predispositions you may have about them, *or* yourself. you may think ‘this 18 year old kid’ couldn’t possibly have anything wise or even interesting to tell me.’ and you may think ‘ah, but i am older and surely i can teach him a thing or two.’ and that leads to your not listening closely enough to them to hear *either* what they need from you *or* what they have to offer you. even when you find your own enlightenment and are eager to give some of it to others, you must still humble yourself to accept wisdom from those who do not even realise that they have it to offer. and only when offered humbly will your wisdom proferred be accepted rather than rejected as dogma being forecefed from some self acclaimed authority. the only thing that makes the shaman any different from John Q Public is that he is aware of the greater interconnectedness of all things, and of his duty to spread peace and truth to those whose lives he touches in whatever way is most approproate and understandable to each. -Cliff

#409 Fri, 07 May 1999 21:31:29 From: Robert Esris rae18 at xx.x Re: Silence is GOLDEN! I have remained silent on this issue until now but would like to just say this- and I will only say it ONCE to avoid contributing to the very problem I hope to address. Wasted bandwidth aside, I have just noticed that in the past few days the sheer NUMBER of brainmachines emails in my mailbox has risen to a ridiculous level, and MOST of these are inane or unnecessary personal banter like the quoted message below.

Shut down! i know exactly what your saying about both the beer drinking crowd mixing in and the little kids….im from brooklyn and have been watching the scene fall apart up here for the last 3 years…yes, i have to admit, i started going to parties when i was 14, but there was somthing different then about the atmosphere….it wasnt the same as these kids now, their vibes are twisted…from talking to some of them and observing it seems as if most are in it for the ds, big clothes, and a feeling of being “cool”…its like a trend now….back when i first started it was about the music and the interaction of amazing people….now its all materialistic…like, even when they throw parties its $30 a head for that shit to be cancelled anyway…whatever happened to the latenite barbeques out in Bk., or the outlaws in Queens, without all the fancy “buy me” atmosphere…..anyway, thats why i stopped going out, despite how much i love the live beats, it often makes me sick to see how everyone acts now….i just wanted to say, im feeling what youre all saying, and am in no way suprised at what happened in DC, its nothing new…Kids need to wise up and fix up their act…didnt they learn from 20/20 ? didnt they realize the powers that be had it out for them back in 97 when the cops bulled that shit on the Zen fest, or when tear gas and rubber bullets flew in Cali? silly kids aura*

#418 Tue, 11 May 1999 13:17:28 Regarding Saturday night From miltondurr at hotmail: I left at about 5:15. Who were the guys playing at about 2:30? Were they the Saafi Brothers? When did Montauk P play? I really wasn’t sure while I was there who was who. I was expecting there to be a difference in the style of the music but it never really changed much. Fun party nonetheless… Me too. It was crazy huh. I’m not sure who anyone was, I spent the night getting the remainder of my date rape incident’s stolen stuff out on Long Island. I got back at 2:30 to find the place mauled. Alcohol doesn’t make for a good vibe, IMHO.

#422 Wed, 12 May 1999 22:25:57 Tsunami Review In a message dated 5/12/99 9:05:30 PM, writes: I arrived around midnight. There was a line. They were checking ID’s. One of the security guys, who sounds like a gay Tone Loc, was handing out flyers. He was saying they were for a dance contest. They weren’t. He was just saying that so people took the flyers. They announced Vinyl’s anti-d policy. They had seven extra security persons working that night. I was thoroughly searched somthing that has never happened to me there. I told the guy searching me, “Those are Altoids.” The guy next to him goes, “You better look through them to make sure.” “Here, try one, they’re mint.” “I know what they are.” “Then why are you searching through them??” So while this guy is groping my pockets, I tell him “You know I work for Tsunami.” “No, I don’t that.” “Well, you know now.” John-Emanuel went on about the whole Guilliani thing. He told me this story he heard fourth-hand that a cop said this girl was raped outside of an E inside the club. By the time I left, I was hearing that she was 12. If I had stayed later, I’m sure Bigfoot would have been involved somehow. The anti-d flyers were up everywhere. They practically wallpapered the bathroom. There were these kooky “Tips for Teens” anti-d brochures that John picked up from the Mayor’s office on the table Ofer usually uses to sell cd’s (Ofer wasn’t there, he’s was in Israel). I picked up the one “About Hallucinogens” no mention of Simon Posford. I failed to ask John if they’re were axes mounted over the Mayor’s door. There was a large crowd inside, but it didn’t keep several people from asking me, “Where is everybody??” It not that there weren’t people there, but they didn’t seem like the usual crowd. Most noticeably absent were the Israelis. Joanne said “It seems like there are less lights.” The lighting was the same, except the UV fell upon a black hole of ordinary clothing. In my Indian plaid shirt I seemed like one of the most goa people there, and I’ve never looked more goa than anyone before, ever. The music was good, but there was no vibe. Montauk P./Saafi Bros. played a very live set. There was guitar, a MIDI drum pad, an SV series DAT machine, another DAT player, an Ensoniq DP-4, this TC Electronics box, a Power Mac, an Akai sampler, a Mackie 24*8, three Nord keyboards, and a bunch of other stuff I couldn’t see or can’t remember. For some inexplicable reason they also had a massive sprawl of various cassette tapes. The drummer actually played the hi-hats, snare, and principal percussion to the tracks.

#425 Fri, 14 May 1999 21:52:18 Saturday party in DUMBO (Down under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) Behave yourselves brainmachiners.. From last weekend’s parties I see that a lot of you are price sensitive and will be all over a free party like a hound dog on a dead racoon: Okay y’all – Lola here. Please come to our loft party in Dumbo, Brooklyn on Sat. May 15 – As some of you have heard, I will be moving out of the loft June 1, so this is the last hurrah. Please bring anyone you want. Circulate this to anyone else you know who might be interested in coming. (There’s also a party at Akiva Film Studios around the corner that night) It’s free admission and there is beer (all you can drink when you buy a cup for $2.00) but I’d also bring a stash of booze – these people can drink! It’s a two loft party – my place will have the bands, the other loft will have djs running concurrently: Gillian & Stephanie will be spinning between the bands… 9pm-10 harderdreamer (TRIPPED OUT SIMON AND GARFUNKEL) featuring my adorable ex-roomie Eric, the film editor! (throw sultry looks, cash & editing gigs) 10-11 trouble dolls (MELODIC UPBEAT POP) featuring Sonicnet’s Matty Karas (throw floral tributes and kisses) 11-12 the rosenbergs (POWER POP GODS) featuring Sonicnet’s Evan Silverman (throw underwear, hotel keys & caution to the winds) 12-1 the immaculate contraption (LIVE GROOVE TRIP FUNK) featuring my landlord who evicted me – you can go to the dance loft now! 🙂 (throw up) dj’s roger, spirit, spooky, dyno dylan, sheik amir, punjab raj, and DJ SKIZMUS spinning ACID JAZZ, FUNK, TRIPHOP, OLD SCHOOL, DISCO, REGGAE, SALSA, EIGHTIES DIRECTIONS The neighborhood looks scary, because of all the warehouses, but it is quite safe! F train to York St (come out of train station, take a right. walk 3 blocks downhill, Left on Plymouth, walk 2 blocks and building on the right – 135 Plymouth – my loft is #208) A or C train to High St. (get out, walk through the little park and then walk downhill – should be Washington Street – you’ll be walking parallel to the Manhattan Bridge – go to the base of it and the building is 40ft north of the bridge on your right, at the waterfront. In all fairness, the F train is much closer, so you should try to take that! For all you divas who will be cabbing it from Manhattan, listen closely: Tell yr cabbie to take the *UPPER* level of the Manhattan Bridge, this is crucial. Once yr up there, take a moment to look over yr shoulder and admire the lovely Manhattan view. Then tell your driver to take the first right hand exit for the BQE (278) – once that little exit spits you out, tell the driver to get in the left hand lane. At the big intersection, take a FAR LEFT TURN – tell the driver to aim for the mailbox on the corner, if you turn too early you will end up on the Brooklyn Bridge, which is counterproductive, to say the least. Anyhow, that puts you on Sands St. – go through the light to the end of the block and take a right (you have no choice) on to Adams Street. Go through the light and then through the next two stop signs, you are now at the base of the Manhattan Bridge – you wind around and go right back under the bridge and take a right at the third stop sign (directly on the waterfront) and pull up at the building that’s directly on your left – there’s a big space available sign and a light over the door. You have arrived at 135 Plymouth Street. Once again, take a moment to enjoy the gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline and then proceed up to the party! For more information or other directions: email me: FFFAW at aol See you there!

#431 Thu, 20 May 1999 21:56:41 Here we go here we go I’m still sending out this list, even though I’m “clean” and have a job. This list was created under the influence of a lot of nootropics and psychedelics, but I’m going to keep it going. I think it works better as an occasional announcement. As a subscribe to NYNeuroChat if youlike to talk back to everybody. Friday, tomorrow night, two very good events, one trance, one progressive house/trance. For you hardies, do Tsunami last as it doesn’t get kicking until 2 anyway: TRANCE The trance scene is building…Friday, May 21st Trance Party the group led by John Emmanuel Gartmann that brought Trance to New York at Vinyl on Hudson and Hubert, around the corner from Wetlands. Your email is your name; if you’re going to have others with you email me or call by 8pm. Your name will be on file at the door giving you a $20 reduced admission – mention the NEUROTRANCEMITTER list. We are creating a Temporary Autonomous Zone for our minds to investigate the mysteries of the universe, as we once again, like our distant ancestors, cajole the spirits of the trees and the sky, the earth and the cosmos to come out to play – as one. Ancient earth drums dance in symbiotic merriment with the metallic inter-galactic beats as the circles of sound expand and astound our imagination with vibratory awareness. In this changeling world of chance, shape shifters from distant corners find themselves sharing these profound wonders, and learning the empowerment of the mystical dance space. There is a pulsating awareness of sharing archaic understandings, reviving lost traditions, particularly unwritten traditions, and which are all invested with new technological innovation. The sounds are the new epic poetry of this century, and the modern wandering minstrels are fine tuning their harmonious and transcendental harps. We are returning to a relationship with ourselves and others which is removed from written language, and which undermines our absolute reliance on finding meaning within the world of words. progressive house/trance TOUCH 10pm(we’re starting it early, and ending by 5, don’t be late) Thanks again to everyone for spreading the word and coming to the last Touch in Brooklyn, AKA The FuseBox Party! Well, we’re at it again, this time in the city. We’re keeping with the funky-trance-tech-progressive-house theme, and are really excited to have Chris Fortier coming up from Orlando to spin……..

#446 Tue, 1 Jun 1999 19:11:10 Terence McKenna is about to die “It’s with a very heavy heart that I forward the latest on Terence McKenna. The message below was sent to me by his close friend and fellow Mind-Ler Chuck H who authorized me to be the messenger of such ill tidings. For myself I can only quote what I related to Chuck when he sent me the message you are about to read. Bare with me as I share with you my thoughts of admiration and philosophical kinship and yes love for this fearless explorer who will, it appears, be leaving us very shortly. “Ya know Chuck I never had the pleasure of meeting Terence. In a sense I suppose there was never really any need to. Like all highly advanced individuals, one tends to feel they know the person through their works, and in Terence’s case, through his voice on Art Bell. I consider Terence one of the greatest philosophical geniuses, not just of the 20th century, but in the history of Mankind. I don’t know how to really explain it, but if there was ever anyone I could look up to as a personal hero it would be Terence McKenna. I can only guess how, you, a personal friend must feel. It’s so easy to be philosophical about death, but when it hits close to home, it’s always a sickening tragedy.” end quote.

#447 Tue, 1 Jun 1999 19:17:18 From: Ismoked at xxx.xxx MDmmmmmmA Testing Kits The kits are legal in all countries I am aware of USA, UK, Australia etc. The kits can be easily bought in Amsterdam which is were I purchased mine. In the UK some record shops have started selling them for about #5 pounds, the stores I am aware of that do this are Dance 2 records in Guilford and XSF records in London. If you want to order some then look at the official testing kit web site web ez-test/index.html. In my experience the kits are reliable in testing the quality of pills. The better the reaction (fizzing and liquid changing to a dark colour) the better the pill. The kits only last about 4-5 months before the kits slowly turn a brown color and cease to be reliable.

#449 Wed, 2 Jun 1999 12:10:43 From: Ismoked at xxx.xxx Roll safely ello Stephen and everyone on the MAPS forum, I must qualify a few issues about the testing kits that Stephen raised in the message below. Testing kits are NOT legal in all States of the United States. In fact, my guess is that they are NOT legal in most states. The reason is that most States, like California and Florida for example, define illegal parapharnalia very broadly. I’ll quote you from the California Health and Safety Code: Section 11014.5 (General Provisions and Definitions) “(a) ‘d Paraphernalia’ means all equipment, products and materials of any kind which are designed for use or marketed for use, in planting, propagating, clutivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding, converting, producing, processing, preparing, TESTING, ANALYZING, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance in violation of this division. It includes, but is not limited to: (4) Testing Equipment designed for use or marketd for use in IDENTIFYING, or in analyzing the strength, effectiveness, or PURITY of controlled substances.” [1-3, and 5-8 deleted, words in CAPITALS are my emphasis] Now I don’t know if anyone has been arrested for possesion of an Ecstasy testing kit anywhere in the US yet, but certainly people have been arrested for possessing other types of paraphernalia that fall under this definition. Our harm reduction project here in the Bay Area may soon be undertaking a challenge to this law by openly selling Marquis kits at local raves. District Attorney Terrance halinan has personally told me, at the recently d Policy Foundation Conference, that he is willing to consider NOT prosecuting us for doing this. I should be meeting with him soon about this. HOWEVER, most cities do NOT have DAs as progressive at Halinan. I would suggest people possessing or distributing these kits be cautious. Check the laws in your state. Also, I must disagree that these kits are reliable. Their benefit is that they can identify SOME fake pills. However, we have recently found bunk pills that tested black using the Marquis kit. This is because there are many other substances dealers can put into pills to make them turn black (like simple saffrole). As more manufacturers become aware of these kits, we should expect more pills to turn black despite their quality. Again, the one good thing is that if a pill does NOT turn black, than the user can definately know that this is a fake pill. But there is still no guarantee. Thank you and Roll Safe!

Peace Sean Hall, Stephen Grimes & Billy Shane BIO INFO on Timo(One of our FAVORITE DJ’s and Producers, you fellow dj’s know what i mean) and Leon: Timo is one of Germany’s most prolific DJs and producers. His discography reads like a who’s who from the last five years of trance, techno and house. He also plays all over the world at all the biggest events. Timo records for Sony as Orinoko, for Phuture Wax as Kinetic A.T.O.M., for Hope Recordings as Timo Maas, just to name a few. His DJ sets are legendary, emcompassing various lengths and styles. He began Djing over fifteen years ago playing funk and breaks. As the dance scene errupted across Europe in the early nineties he took on more of an electronic techno and trance based sound. He has held numerous chart positions around the world for various projects, the best known being Mama Conda by Orinoko and his remixes of Annihilate by Major North which recently reached number 15 in the Billboard club charts. Leon Alexander has been involved in dance music and its surrounding industry since he went to his first warehouse party in 1988. Since then he has introduced Bristol to the idea of Trance & Techno with astonishing results. If there are three nights in the history of Bristol Clubbing everybody can name you can guarantee they were his doing: One Love Foundation, Shimmy & Temptation. Along side all of this he has been making music as Mad Dogs & Englishmen with Timo Maas, Djing all around Europe and A&Ring for the sadly departed Lakota Records. He has now started a brand new project known simply as Hope Recordings & Management which will continue to spread his vibe right into the next millennium.

#459 Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:50:27 Uncle Miltie From: miltondurr at hotmail (Milton Durr) To: though i really feel like i’m beating a dead horse by asking, why is it that the goa parties are ALWAYS so expensive? Aren’t there any smaller parties happening around town? must it always happen in such large spaces? granted, i could afford to pay the admission price, but i have never liked the idea of my evening starting at $20-$25. you probably aren’t to blame (now that you have a new job that you won’t talk about) but you must have some idea what is going on here. where are all those israelis that you keep talking about? where are their parties? milton Uncle Miltie the Aging Hippie, The parties are expensive because they cost and arm and a leg to put on – importing DJ’s from areas of the world that appreciate this sort of thing, the decadent art, rent, ds, etc. Most parties lose money. If you actually go to one you would understand. The Israelis go to the trance parties, DUH. You must be over 30. Didn’t they say 30 years ago to not trust anybody over 30? Well, I’m 31, so goa figure. 🙂 Hey everybody let’s all pitch in so Uncle Miltie can see what the Jung whippersnappers are doing these days.

#484 Mon, 12 Jul 1999 14:56:42 Excellent gathering! Dear Brainmachiners, What a wonderful group of people at the outlaw underneath the east part of the GW Bridge this last Friday. That was my first time ever, and being out in nature – even in Manhattan!?! – is 100% different from being in a club. No time restrictions, no security – there’s no justice, it’s Just Us. I had a chance to talk to just about everybody, and ecstatic wanderers had chances to go behind bushes and stroke each other. It began to feel like a big mind orgy. The view of the river was beautiful. We even had a chance to put up some trance graffiti. Thanks Max for the party, the Russians are a welcome addition, Thanks George for the bananas, and I think Matthew Magic’s set was the best ever. It felt tribal, it felt like an Archaic mini-Revival, I felt the love. Even a couple locals came out and shared their spliffs. From now on, this is my scene. I finally felt at home. I used to be hard core into anarchism, and this is it. In practice, it is real, real, real. It’s the closest we NYers come to Burning Man, which is pretty much the ideal ideal. For those of you who have never been, you are missing a lot. Keep an eye on these emails for future gatherings, as it ain’t ever going on the site! And I slept for 20 hours afterwards. BOM Jeff PS Here’s a good MP3 file from xdude (be sure yu have an MP3 player): web lenet/mp3/antiloop01.mp3 PSS There is an almost sensual longing for communion with others who have a larger vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendships of those engaged in the furthering of consciousness has a quality almost impossible to describe. Back to work %-)

#485 Mon, 12 Jul 1999 15:22:26 The French think the Internet is an Anglo-American conspiracy And they’re right! This is a re-send. It ain’t trance but it’s artsy. Not like OUR art, you know, the Tsunami bathroom art where all the asian women have quadrilateral vaginas and polymorphous perversity and all, but… diverting nonetheless. (I can just imagine John Emmanuel interviewing that artist… “So, how many genitalia do we have?) This is a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Queens, hell probably the ONLY way, ever, ever, sorry. I think it’s Frenchy housey acid jazzy sort of music.

#488 Mon, 12 Jul 1999 17:42:38 Yeah, we were both there haha. From Hommage2p5 at aol Jeff- you said the outlaw on friday was under the east part of the GW bridge; I was also at an outlaw on friday, but it was under the cross bronx expressway (which is attached to the gw). Is that the one you’re talking about or was there another one actually under the bridge, where the historic little red lighthouse is? At the one I was at the music didn’t start till about 3:30 when we finally borrowed electricity from a construction crew working on the expressway, but it did fit your description otherwise. -Rich Yes, one and the same. Boy was that fucker hard to find!!! Esp. if we started early heh heh. The email I sent had a pretty good map. It can still be found at: This info is available on the web at party.maxf.net

I’ve lived in New york for a little less than a year so I haven’t established all the right connections yet (… but I’m getting there). Anyways- I’d love to get his music into the right hands- someone that organizes these beautiful parties. I’m friends with Hanoch of the Israeli trance scene (do you know him?) but he has a preference for Israeli DJs that play mini-disks. (The tracks are fantastic but the experience loses it’s “on-a-journey” effect when the DJ can’t match beats.) I’m working on him though- and he listens when I dance. I’m a Queen Bee you know. So- my secret talent DJ is only in town until the middle of August. I’d love to try to hook somthing up for everyone’s listening pleasure – guaranteed mental, emotional, spritual, and sexual stimulation. Maybe we could meet for a drink sometime so you can judge for yourself whether or not I’m someone to be taken serioulsy. I have big plans… for the scene, for the future. Feel free to contact me at anytime work: 212-424-0753 email: kr185 at columbia until then, keep transmitting – someone’s always listening. Thank You Sincerely, Kiovanna

#492 Wed, 14 Jul 1999 16:41:41 Izzy Bar report (Message follows) Hello Sasha, I cancelled going at the last minute. Still recovering from the outlaw this last weekend. Did anybody see our list droog? There’s a bunch of Russians on this list, computer & medical types, and they seem strangely almost pharmaceutically attracted to mechanical blinking things. BTW Did anybody know that Russians as an ethnic group are one of the most likely to be millionaires, along with Scots and Armenians!?! (From The Millionaire Next Door) In a message dated 7/14/99 4:35:49 PM, sasha1 at netcom writes: I was visiting NY from Boston for a day, and came to Izzy Bar. Brought some guys from work, too; we really enjoyed it, especially later in the night, when people started dancing more. The place could use better lights, but I liked the music and the crowd. Kept wondering who were the brainmachines people, had a few ideas, but didn’t want to bother anybody with questions. Maybe next time somebody could wear a brain hat or somthing? If anybody noticed a short Russian guy with three dancing figures on his white T-shirt – it was me…

This is Aleks from Subtle Chaos reaching out to grab some more people to join us on this trip to festival in Canada. Some of our friend canceled on this trip, so we ran in to some problems: Need a person over 25 with credit card and drivers license to rent a van, we could also rent with someone over 21 (that would be me), but dont know if my c.c. will hold up to that (up to the limit:) and it’s going to be more $, if someone out there is planning a trip this weekend and needs a ride, please get in touch with me today at my voice mail: 212-714-4713 Even if you cant help us rent the van, still should join us – the more people we have, the less everyone would have to chip in 🙂 We will have a nice sound system on the car, and whole bunch of other stuff, with reallly cool crew of friends. Plans are to leave Friday morning and come back early Monday morning. The cost of the place in van will vary between $40-65, depending on final # of people going. Discount for someone who rents the van 🙂 djrhino99 at yahoo writes: Also e-mail me at rhinoman21 at yahoo Peace to all of you C U before or at next Subtle Chaos party! Aleks

#506 Wed, 21 Jul 1999 19:27:53 YES!!!! A trance outlaw this friday!!! The party is the best place I’ve been to in NYC. You must check it out. Be patient if it takes a while for their generator to get running. It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and he Triborough merge. Once you’re on 181st and Amsterdam it is a 5 minute walk. Don’t get confused with these simple directions. Follow them literally. Take the subway 1 or 9 to 181st. Go to the southeast corner of 181st and Amsterdam. Stand there. Look east. See the little paved road that runs along the road on the south side, parallel to the highway that the cars are on? Walk east on it; after about 100 yards it starts dipping south, The little road gently slopes down into the park, down some stairs, goes under an arch, splits in two (take the right path) and down more stairs and continues down down down until you hear music. It’s creepy getting there but there has been NO CRIME EVER at these parties, thanks to the Israelis %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes and 5HTP and water. Hey all! Happy to bring you this info: this friday Paradox is organizing a party under the bridge, (just to blend somthing in, with Subtle Chaos already thinking to move in under there 🙂 The party will start at midnight and will go on till 9:00 am or so, at that point everybody will be invited to go to swimming pool in the area -(???) DJ line-up: 12 – 2 Severyn Synthetic Sadhus, NYC 2 – 5 Illusion Paradox, NYC 7’s 5 – 8 MD4 Phonokol, Israel Both, the party and the pool are free, water and chai will be sold (unlike at our parties – it’s free 🙂 For those of you that still dont know how to get there – e-mail me for directions or any other info: rhinoman21 at yahoo Hope to see you all! Boom aleks

#511 Fri, 23 Jul 1999 16:22:33 A further note on next thursday the fashion party – if you come at or after 9, no need to RSVP, it will be free anyway thanks. before is a low key cocktail hour and showing. that’s what you’d have to rsvp for.

#512 Sat, 24 Jul 1999 19:46:51 Bridge Trance Review from Friday Before you read the rest of this, I want you to know there were a lot of people there it was chaotic and free. Most people enjoyed themselves. This is however real life and things will happen. As we leave the clubs behind we are in a true simulation of anarchism in a pure form, a large community of 200 or 300 people that fulfill all functions of what a event would normally fulfill, such as maintenance, refreshments, or security. Today we’ll start with the last one. A quiet older Israeli given to bouts of deeply contemplative 20 hour esoteric PIKHAL alchemy was jumped by a wandering gang of street kids on the very edge of the outlaw party. We helped him to the hospital. He’s going to be OK, stiches and some broken bones. I’m sorry, but I feel responsible to let this information out, not to ruin your natural high, but because I ended up knowing Eddie from before and he is a very kind man. This is the first time violence has ever happened at a trance, and it pretty much sucked the vibe right out. As his roommate/friend said when looking for him “Where are the children???” Many thanks to the friends who helped Eddie in his time of crisis, some of you were invaluable, and this event underscores the chaotic environment that *that* was last night, and of one random group encountering ceremonies of another tribe. And the sparks that fly when we are on our own. As movements build and mature these random chaotic situations will have to be dealt with and prevented in the future. I can’t help but feel responsible, but I reason that no one with email would beat somebody up, kind of like the old adage that no wars have ever been fought between two countries that both have a McDonald’s; however, Serbia just proved that wrong. So I screen now new members, just to be sure. Or the trance graffiti that had been painted over… oh, the mind was racing, flipping out candy to a lost comrade to feel the hurt of a good man. I’m pretty sure it was just random people walking by, though. It was the first time anything like that happened that anybody remembers. Yet of course the trances don’t exactly go away but will continue, but people now will occasionally patrol the park, myself included. Kind of like security at Burning Man, the last line before police. And if you do go, expect a completely different vibe in a hidden wilderness park 5 minutes walk from the street but a world apart from Manhattan. Just do not wander out in the middle of the night by yourself to a remote area. PLUR shankar Jeff

#513 Mon, 26 Jul 1999 12:23:53 New security group We will form a patrol volunteer group with head mounted flashlights (one over each ear) at the Bridge parties in NYC. 2 hour shifts, must be medium to large sized male, to patrol the park. Walkie talkies provided. Volunteers email No formal “Guardian Angel” uniform, just need to know. No formal “Trance Ranger” name. Speed freaks need not apply, no wait, take that back. i have 2 motorola walkie talkies and a cell phone. Let’s stalk about this further.

There is a guy called David Pearce who has put a controversial idea on the web called the Hedonistic imperative. His thesis is that the “aversive experience” that we are so frequently is a byproduct of our role as vehicles for selfish DNA, the reproduction of which is served by our suffering. (This corresponds with Eastern philosophical traditions that hold that all suffering is due to an attachment to physical things.) Now that we are smart and have entered the ‘post darwinian’ era, we can do somthing about it. Through genetic engineering and other technologies, we can “eliminate the biological substrates of aversive experience” and live in a state of continuous exctasy and love towards each other and all living things.

Apparently you can wear a funny wig, but you still have to show your ID at the door. I didn’t notice her, but I probably wouldn’t have anyway. I’m just glad she didn’t start any fires with her mind. It was hot enough as it was. On a related note, John is telling me how Winona Ryder was at Tsunami for both RTTS2 and Growling Mad Scientists in November. Winona Ryder!! I’m shocked I didn’t notice her. What I wouldn’t do to get her dressed like a duck 😉

#525 Fri, 6 Aug 1999 04:08:30 From: ” jeff at x.x Friday Limelight and Saturday Woods (Details follow) (Editor’s note: This will be a weird mix. Part of it will be free Israeli desert trancers and part of it will be random NYC tourists. Expect a vibe conflict of alcohol drinkers from say, Dublin and an assortment of hallucinating global trance people from Israel, Russia, and Sweden. And about 20% AmericaL (limelight will up that to about 45%, hence the potential vibe deflation) There will also be some esoteric French trance people. As it is in a deconsecrated Episcopalian church, there will be plenty of mixed metaphors, alchemically trancemitting the message from the Holy Land. Christians beware. But I think it is good to mix it up, that’s what the city-state of New York is all about. The NY Times is doing a story on the “scene,” BTW. Let’s help spread the word about this positive, life-affirming movement. Sure, some people are smoking marijuana etc, but the net NET is a gentler kind of scene where people are eager to meet other intelligent people. I’ll take that over a mob of desperate drinkers any day. BTW, the injured Israeli is doing OK. He had been in the hospital 5 days after the raver/BTS(?) attack. The last time I saw him he was smoking hydro and smiling ear to ear. Curiously, they learned English by listening to Roger Waters albums. I guess it’s the 24-7 Vietnam antiwar culture. However you want to approach the Last Days, Bible wise, the Israelis are our guests and we Americans should keep an eye out for them. We Christians are inately connected to Judaism. Saturday night there’s a nice trance forest gathering 90 minutes north of the city. If anybody has a car(!) I can compensate with guidance and a tent. It will be small and the vibe will be intimate and “chaotic good.” Think hackers with walkie talkies and communal bananas. 🙂 NOT like wood$tock, BTW.

Researchers have discovered striking biological similarities between people who are lovesick and sufferers of obsessive compulsive disorder. OCD is a mental condition characterised by obsessive, intrusive thoughts. A patient with the condition feels compelled to repeat mundane activities, such as washing hands or checking that doors are locked. Donatella Marazziti, a psychiatrist at the University of Pisa, carried out research in 1990 which showed that OCD was linked with low levels of a brain messenger chemical, serotonin. Struck by the way the persistent one-track thoughts of OCD sufferers mirrored the musings of people in love, she set out to see if there were biochemical similarities between the two. Her findings, published in Psychological Medicine and reported in New Scientist show clearly that there are and that both the OCD and in-love volunteers tested had about 40 per cent less serotonin than normal. web theage.au/daily/990301/news/news20.html Monday 1 March 1999 Scientists put love under the microscope LONDON, SUNDAY Italian scientists have reportedly developed a blood test that shows whether a person is ‘in love’ or just mildly interested and faking it. Tests on 20 students who thought they were lovestruck revealed a common pattern of brain cells similar to that of people suffering an obsessive-compulsive disorder. The blood shows a 40 per cent loss of a protein that helps serotonin, a neurotransmitter, to travel from one cell to another. The researchers at the Psychiatry Institute at Pisa University defined someone as in love if they thought about their partners for at least four hours a day, the Sunday Times reported. The results, to be published in the British journal Psychological Medicine, show that after six to 18 months, the phase of falling in love changes, Professor Donatella Marazziti said. ‘It either ends completely or it turns in to plain loving with high levels of the protein,’ Professor Marazziti said. There are, of course, other Italians who still prefer traditional rather than strictly scientific proofs of love. A professor of dynamic psychology at Pavia University, Sylvia Vegetti Finzi, said the symptoms were usually easily recognisable. ‘Reducing love to a game of molecules belittles it,’ she said. ‘No neurotransmitter will ever be able to keep love in a cage.’ AAP 1024/D9C69DF9 steve mynott steve at tightrope.demon.co.uk web pineal/ we are here and it is now. further than that all human knowledge is moonshine. h. l. mencken

#533 Thu, 12 Aug 1999 12:09:19 What’s goin’ onnnnnn From brainmachines listmembers: I heard a rumor that last friday was the last time Tsunami was going to be held at Vinyl (and this would seem to be reinforced by the fact that there were NO flyers on the way out. Does anyone know if the rumors are true, and, if so, where Tsunami is moving to? I heard a rumor that Tsunami was dead – no more parties!!! Say it ain’t so! I know that Time Out doesn’t have it listed this friday – I was so excited. Pez and I took a weekend off to rest and recoup after the whole mess with waterfront and I was really lookin’ forward to tomorrow night. I know that Paul Van Dyk is at Twilo – but it’s at twilo and Twilo has really started to SUCK! (or at least it has the last 3 times I went) The crowd on PVD night has just gotten WAY to big and there aren’t any ravers left at it because of the guidos working the door (“you think your gonna get in with those baggy pants – sorry, not tonight”) That’s Bullsh*t! I too heard that rumor. Yes, that does suck, with the ole biweekly at tsunami MIA there’s no reliable place for an enlightened candy raver So, know of any good parites? And do you know what’s goin’ on with Tsunami? I’ll be out this weekend. San Francisco. Here’s somthing: This just in . . . There is a three-day event this weekend, celebrating the anniversary of Woodstock, at the original site, on the anniversary of the actual date, brought to you by the hippies that literally bought the farm. There will be several stages of music, and large numbers are expected to attend. As the only electronic music at this event, Matthew Magic will be spinning psy-trance and Sean Detech will be spinning spacey house and trance between the bands on the main stage. In addition, Matthew has Stage 4 to present psy-trance and electronic music through out this three day festival. Experienced DJ’s interested in playing are invited to contact Matthew Magic at irishdragon at rcnor 516.291.1373. Matthew will have a cell phone with this number: 516-317-0198 People will be camping, etc. Bring water and other supplies. That’s all folks, as I am Audi. See you next week.

Whether or not this is possible, a growing human desire to go beyond the reduction of all phenomena to elements within a material grid seems to be timely. Mr. Selman admits he feels centering in the urban grid is obsolete and, in the exhibit, draws from his own desire to expand beyond its domain.” See below for details…

#562 Fri, 10 Sep 1999 03:22:23 From: Ismoked at xxx.xxx Christopher Lawrence Friday!! Dear Abby, Dmitri would love To See Bea. What are you gonna do? I know it is heresy to mention attending somthing on a TSUNAMI night, but infected Fungi notwithstanding I dare any of you crunchy trance trustafarians to shake a didjideroo at Christopher Lawrence from L.A., IMO the best trance DJ in the U.S. I was walking home tonight from a protracted Kinduced haze of rainy clubs and such when I saw a wet flyer on the sidewalk (face down if you have to know) for Sound Factory Fridays with Mr. Lawrence billed for tomorrow. Everything he plays is all good. Trance techno fusion. But…. the crowd will suck, i.e. they will all be mutant ravers from the inner city an outer boros and not Jerusalem or Tel Aviv 😀 Too bad it wasn’t billed for Saturday, when I dread we’ll be dosed with another idiot at Limelight putting in Paul Oakenfold’s “Tranceport” CD. So many times you can get in a mode, like sticking your head in a toilet getting a swirly and when your head is in, and the water is swirling around, there’s no way to notice what OTHER people in OTHER bathroom stalls are doing. And speaking of the scatological, when is John Emmanuel going to stop being his own worst enema by booking Tsuyoshi at Twilo the same night as his Vinyl party hmmmmmmmm? I expect an answer. But I still don’t know which toilet bowl I will choose. Oh yeah – 🙂 the tree. Naaa(m)asty, Machinelf

#578 Fri, 17 Sep 1999 11:59:44 tonight weather looks good. speeed might work, with its huge roof. but I just heard of a 48 hour party underneath the GWbridge. Word! More to come later today.

#579 Fri, 17 Sep 1999 10:42:25 From: ” jeff at x.x Breakthrough!!! 48 hours trance outlaw!!! Hello all- This party is the best place I’ve been to iIt’s the closest we NYers get to the true Burning Man /Thai Beach Full Moon Party experience. You must check it It will be an adventure. out. Be patient if it takes a while for their generator to get running. Subtle Chaos is Happy to bring you the latest update on how to spend this night (Friday) in most crazy loonatic way.. THE BRIDGE… THE MUSIC… THE FAMILY… THE COPS… (hopefully not:) The last reunion of Goa-heads at the known location, (old one, on the east side), this time we got everybody from the underground involved, the party will go till everyone leaves, even if it has to be Sunday morning (Yes, we will go on 40 hours) Acts include: (in no particular order) fx Mike Subtle Chaos Vadim Subtle Chaos Aleks Subtle Chaos Jason Indra Subtle Chaos Ron Subtle Chaos Severyn Synthetic Sadhus and others… Sorry for the short note… i guess we are just a group of chaotic neuro psychonauts… But we do hell of the parties! So, i hope to see you all out there! Yeah, this time we’ll kindly ask for $10 (or more) donation, to cover some of the expenses we faced bringing you outlaw parties throughout this summer. Thank You All! Pass this to your friends, and again, see you soon! If the weather will stay somewhat warm – this is not the last one… Bom-bom aleks at subtle chaos It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and he Triborough merge. Once you’re on 181st and Amsterdam it is a 5 minute walk. Don’t get confused with these simple directions. Follow them literally. Take the subway 1 or 9 to 181st. & St. Nichols. Walk east. Go to the southeast corner of 181st and Amsterdam. Stand there. Look east. See the little paved pedestrian paved path that runs next to the road on the south side, parallel to the highway that the cars are on? Walk east on it; after about 100 yards it starts dipping south, The little road gently slopes down into the park, down some stairs, goes under an arch, splits in two (take the right path) and down more stairs and continues down down down until you hear music. It’s creepy getting there but there are a lot of good people around %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes and 5HTP and water. Look for the flashing glasses:)

#594 Fri, 24 Sep 1999 15:32:05 Fwd: DJ needs a ride… Hi folks. I’m supposed to be playing Earthdance in Montreal next weekend (Oct. 2). I got a call yesterday from Jeff MK Ultra, the promoter in charge of the event. He called to tell me that they didn’t have airline tix booked for me and to ask if I could find another way up. This is presents a problem because I have neither a car nor a driver’s license, so I’m wondering if any of you out there with the requisite license and automobile might be interested in a road trip to Montreal with me next week. As my driver you can expect to receive: * reimbursement for gas, tolls, food, assorted expenses * free admission to Earthdance * a place to sleep before/after the party in Montreal * countless hours of trance tunes (cars with cassette decks preferred 😉 * a seasoned guide to point out all of the interesting points along 87 North. * countless opportunities to proclaim, “I’m with the DJ” 🙂 So basically it’s a free trip except that you’ll have to drive. It’s approx. 6 hours’ drive from NYC, not including rest stops. I’d prefer to leave Saturday morning/afternoon and return on Sunday evening, but my schedule is flexible and crash space has been offered by the promoters. It looks like it’s going to be a great party and I really hope I can get up to it because I definitely don’t plan on taking Greyhound. Anyone interested in this, write me back at this address, or call me at 718-399-0139. Cheers! -Hugh

#595 Fri, 24 Sep 1999 18:08:15 From: ” jeff at x.x Outlaw trance Saturday Sept 24 Hello all- When was the last time you looked at the full moon?

Acts include: (in no particular order) fx Mike Subtle Chaos Vadim Subtle Chaos Aleks Subtle Chaos Indra Subtle Chaos Ron Subtle Chaos Dmitri from Elfland Hyperspace and others… Sorry for the short note… i guess we are just a group of chaotic neuro psychonauts… But we do hell of the parties! So, i hope to see you all out there! Pass this to your friends, and again, see you soon! If the weather will stay somewhat warm – this is not the last one… Bom-bom aleks at subtle chaos It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and he Triborough merge. Once you’re on 181st and Amsterdam it is a 5 minute walk. Don’t get confused with these simple directions. Follow them literally. Take the subway 1 or 9 to 181st. & St. Nichols. Walk east. Go to the southeast corner of 181st and Amsterdam. Stand there. Look east. See the little paved pedestrian paved path that runs next to the road on the south side, parallel to the highway that the cars are on? Walk east on it; after about 100 yards it starts dipping south, The little road gently slopes down into the park, down some stairs, goes under an arch, splits in two (take the right path) and down more stairs and continues down down down until you hear music. It’s creepy getting there but there are a lot of good people around %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes and 5HTP and water. Look for the flashing glasses:)

#626 Fri, 15 Oct 1999 14:51:57 Brain cells DO regrow!! There is hope for some of us!! Dear listmembers, Today in the NYTimes we hear that brain cells REGROW. Every day. For decades it has been thought that brain cells are NOT replaced. That is now known as a MYTH. They do grow, every day, stem cells that provide a coordinate for when a memory is formed. So the memories you have of TODAY are thanks to cells that were created TODAY. Wow. All those years of glue sniffing!! 🙂

#637 Mon, 25 Oct 1999 17:57:21 NYTimes article Oct 24 on Trance Trance Casts a Spell Over the Youth of a Worried Israel By BRUCE FEILER EL AVIV One day last May, 10,000 young people crowded into a beach-side park north of here, dressed in tank-top T-shirts and tie-dye shorts, brandishing rings from every visible body part ears, noses, lips, bellybuttons and dancing wildly to a techno beat that has become the latest casus belli in Israel’s most overlooked war: the one between the generations. The music, a throbbing, lyric-free form of psychedelic electronica known as trance, has swept the country in recent years, enveloping everyone from bar mitzvah candidates to elite Air Force pilots, and prompting the authorities to clamp down on what they consider a subversive form of entertainment that promotes the use of illegal ds. In the last year alone, the police have shut down more than a dozen underground trance parties, in places ranging from posh mansions north of Tel Aviv to desert mountains overlooking the Dead Sea. The battle over trance highlights a larger change going on in Israel, where young people disillusioned with the lingering war with Lebanon and tensions with Israel’s Arab neighbors are expressing their desire for greater freedom by traveling abroad, exploring alternative religions and experimenting with hallucinogenic ds. Trance, a form of music popular in India that was adopted by young Israelis who regularly flock there after their military service, has become the focal point of this movement, often resulting in enormous, unannounced outdoor festivals that draw as many 50,000 people. Asher Haviv, 33, the organizer of many of the events, including the one last May along the Mediterranean at which he estimated that two-thirds of the participants were using marijuana, Ecstasy or l, likened the experience of being at a trance party to the story of Exodus. “In the Bible it says God led us from slavery to freedom,” he said. “This is freedom.” But the growing interest in trance may signal an even greater political shift, as young people distance themselves from the values of self-sacrifice and nationalism that characterized the early years of the State of Israel and move toward self-centered instant gratification. “It’s the most universal, post-Zionist, individualistic way of thinking,” said Dedi Zucker, 50, a former left-wing member of the Israeli parliament who once invited trance performers to play for conservative lawmakers. He had come to the party last May, held two days before the country’s general elections, to urge the crowd to translate its frustration into votes for his nascent Green Party. Trance music grew out of the unusual cross-breeding of high-tech, high-tempo European dance club music and the laid-back attitudes in the Indian state of Goa, popular for its beaches, ds and all-night raves. Long a magnet for the Western counterculture, Goa has undergone somthing of a revival in recent years helped by a surge of visitors from Israel. Goa’s reputation as a haven for nonconformists has been enhanced in part by the media coverage of young Israelis being thrown into Indian jails for using ds. In Goa, the unusual fusion of Western technology and Eastern mysticism created a new sound, a sort of neo-hippie background music, with rapid-fire, computer-generated bass lines that would be familiar to any 1990’s clubgoer, coupled with eerie, space-age atmospherics that sound as if they were lifted from 60’s sci-fi films like “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Unlike house music, which averages around 120 beats per minute, or progressive house, which averages 135 to 140, trance clocks in at a mind-numbing 150. Lior Perlmutter, 31, co-founder of the popular Israeli group Astral Projection, says the high number of beats allows listeners or dancers to disengage from the world and turn inward. “The music is very internal,” he said. “It’s less about touching and more about getting in touch with yourself. House is great for getting into the groove. Trance is much more individual. People don’t have to dance with a partner; they dance with the music.” Trance first made the jump to Israel in the early 1990’s and was embraced by a fledgling group of clubgoers who had experienced the music overseas. Groups with names like Mystica, Pigs in Space and Enlightened Evolution popped up. With song titles like “Searching for UFO’s” and “Aqua Line Spirit” and CD covers that featured air-brushed unicorns and Day-Glo crystals, the movement embraced the somewhat contradictory ideals of New Age ascetism and d hedonism. As a result, even though most albums sold fewer than 5,000 copies at home, trance parties attracted the attention of the police. In 1992, Avi Nissim, the other half of Astral Projection, was arrested while performing as a disk jockey at a party near Tel Aviv at which marijuana was found. Though Nissim was never accused of using ds himself, prosecutors charged him with playing music that “promoted d use” and asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence, seven years in prison. After four years and what Nissim says was $50,000 in legal bills, the judge ruled there was no connection between music and ds. “All of my life, I thought the police were there to protect me from bad people,” said Nissim, 30. “Now I see them on the other side. I’m afraid of them.” Oren Cristal, the president of Phonokol Records, which represents Astral Projection and other trance acts, said the authorities were concerned about a phenomenon they could not comprehend. “For them it’s very frightening,” he said. “The biggest threat is that these young people won’t join the Army.” But trance has become embedded in Israeli society, Cristal said, and can’t be easily eradicated. “Israel is at a junction,” he said. “Forty years ago, young people were draining swamps. Twenty years ago they were fighting wars. Now they want to enjoy themselves.” That attitude has helped Israeli trance artists become popular in Europe, where Astral Projection has a considerable following in clubs. Most of the sales of the group’s six albums, which Cristal says average around 30,000 copies a piece, come from Scandinavia, England and Germany. Trance has become the leading export of Israeli music and may finally allow Israeli pop artists to escape the legacy of sandals and acoustic guitars that has persisted since the 1960’s, when the kibbutz was considered a model for communal living around the world. The new image is also taking hold at home. After existing on the fringes of Israeli society for half a decade, trance has finally made the leap to mainstream popularity. The person responsible for the transition is Eyal Barkan, a former protg of Perlmutter and Nissim. A slight man with stringy hair and no formal musical education, Barkan, 29, introduced catchy melodies and added samples from popular culture, like children’s cartoons. His first CD, “Good Morning Israel,” became the first trance record to achieve gold status in Israel, selling more than 20,000 copies (bootleg versions accounted for 80,000). To reach a larger audience, Barkan toned down the d references in his music. He was also invited to appear on a well-known afternoon children’s television show and has become a popular attraction at bar mitzvahs and weddings. Last year, Yedioth Ahronoth, the country’s leading daily newspaper, listed Barkan among its “100 most influential Israelis,” crediting him with having “brought trance into every household in the country.”  r. BARKAN considers his music less complicated than that of his predecessors. He characterizes his sound as “victory trance,” for its upbeat message, while that of older artists like Astral Projection is termed psychedelic. “My music is easier on the ears,” Barkan said. “It’s more for any crowd, not just people who are in a daze.” Because of Barkan’s clean-cut image, even the Government has embraced him. “The police love me,” he said. “My image to young people is that you can listen to trance without ds.” With success, of course, has come rivalries among some musicians. Perlmutter and Nissim dismiss their former friend as a technician. “He’s not a musician; he’s a disk jockey,” said Perlmutter, who Barkan thanks on his albums. Barkan responded: “It’s jealousy. I sold more in 2 years than they did in 10.” Regardless, many of those involved are convinced that trance will only grow as teen-agers, hooked on the squeaky-clean version, move into maturity. “It’s commercial, it’s fun and it’s electronic,” said Srulig Einhorn, 21, a promoter, and Barkan’s former manager, who says he was kicked out of the Army because of his association with the music. “Now that it’s almost the year 2000, all the kids have the Internet, so for them it’s easy to get into this music.” Sounding like an advocate of a previous generation of psychedelic music, he says trance “is not the name of a music; it’s a state of mind.” For the youth of today, he adds, “this is normal music everybody else will just have to get used to it.”

#646 Mon, 8 Nov 1999 15:10:30 Art Gallery Opening Reception Thursday For Immediate Release Contact Lance Fung (212) 334 6242 J o h n R o l o f f Morphology of Change A new installation 11 Nov – 18 Dec at Lance Fung Gallery, 537 Broadway NYC Reception for the artist: Thursday, 11 November, 6 – 8 PM Morphology of Change, an exhibition of a new installation by the American artist John Roloff, opens Thursday, November 11th at Lance Fung Gallery. In Morphology Of Change Roloff once again achieves an experimentation and provocation on level with his past landscape projects, installations, sculptures and environmental art. His geology inspired furnace projects in the landscape of the late 70’s through the early 90’s (Saskatchewan, Canada, Hartford, CT, Arvada, CO…), experimental works with greenhouses and plant materials of the 80’s and 90’s (Smithsonian Institution, San Francisco, CA, Santa Barbara, CA…) and the large-scale photographic works shown in Dialogues with Nature at Lance Fung Gallery in 1998 form the background for this new work. As a conceptual extension of this earlier work, the installation done for Morphology of Change incorporates architecture, natural systems and formal considerations in an interior/exterior setting referring to such diverse attitudes as the 19th century sublime, process art, earth works, and baroque philosophy. In the essay, John Roloff’s The Rising Sea, Robert C. Morgan wrote, “Like many artists of his generation, Roloff is not east to identify in terms of a particular medium. He has been called a sculptor and environmental artist, but he is much more than that. He functions on a conceptual level, meaning that he foregrounds the ideas he is seeking to clarify through his art. By foregrounding the ideas, the medium or media becomes secondary to the extent that he uses what is necessary in order to express the ideas.” Further in the same essay Morgan states, “The larger point for John Roloff in these site-specific installations is that nature is bigger than our understanding of it. The order of nature is bigger than any order we can impose upon it, and that it is a resilient force.” The focus of the exhibition will be a large singular work, Holocene, referring to the Holocene Era, the geologic period of our contemporary time. Holocene is a primarily transparent, wood-framed structure that extends the open portion of one of the gallery’s street-facing windows into the center the exhibition space. Within the constructed chamber and connected only to the outside world is a field of living moss subjected to the environmental conditions present during the run of the exhibition; on dry days the moss will be a dormant grey color, on rainy daysto the extent that weather can reach within the structurea vibrant green. As an extension of the physicality and process aspects of his earlier work, gallery viewers will be able to observe a section of the exterior environment penetrating deep into the gallery space and its effect on the moss’s condition. Holocene investigates two resonate themes of Roloff’s work, one that relates architecture and human activity in general to larger natural and geologic systems, the second, in a similar way to the earlier landscape furnaces and other environmental works, where a force (in this case organic vitality as condition of contemporary climate) is made visible in a confined environment and a dialog ensues between nature, the structure and its contents. Lance Fung Gallery is the New York dealer for John Roloff. He has work in such important art collections as: The National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC, Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA, De Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco, CA, Achenbach Foundation, San Francisco, CA, Oakland Museum, Oakland, CA, University Art Museum, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, Newport Harbor Museum, Newport Beach, CA, Museum of American Crafts, New York, NY, Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA, Lannon Foundation, Palm Beach, FL, Cornell University, Ithica, NY, University of Arizona, Tuscon, AZ, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV, Viart Corporation and (Numerous additional private collections)

Music Centered around the international house music scene, rotating DJs and music acts will filter through the lineup each week. These DJs will reflect the vast array of styles, influences and nuances that dance music encompasses. Crowd The event will be geared towards the socially mobile. This includes fashionable socialites, entertainment moguls and the likes that they attract. Our contacts and resources include modeling agencies, record and fashion companies, and media entities of all types. Hosts The hosts/ resident DJs of the event, will be Giancarlo Chersich and Ze’ev Holland of G-Cockin productions, who will be providing the essential back drop for the perfect evening of lounging/ dancing/ mingling and industry networking. By spinning the latest releases with essential classical moments in dance music history, Giancarlo and Ze’ev will provide the patrons of JetSet a forum through which they can listen to the best house music out, whether for dancing and merely socializing purposes.

People often post websites detailing their projects. It’s an excellent list for those who want to learn. Synths using patchbays are called modulars 🙂 There used to be a modular synth list at bode at veda, but I don’t know if it’s still running.

#677 Sat, 4 Dec 1999 16:29:53 Notes from the Underground – Peasant Revolt in Seattle [Awhile back I was an street anarchist. This reminds me of the old days…] N30 Black Bloc Communique by ACME Collective 10:48am Sat Dec 4 ’99 Source: web indymedia.org Article: 216.173.206.96/display.php3?articleid508 A communique from one section of the black bloc of N30 in Seattle On November 30, several groups of individuals in black bloc attacked various corporate targets in downtown Seattle. Among them were (to name just a few): Fidelity Investment (major investor in Occidental Petroleum, the bane of the U’wa tribe in Columbia) Bank of America, US Bancorp, Key Bank and Washington Mutual Bank (financial institutions key in the expansion of corporate repression) Old Navy, Banana Republic and the GAP (as Fisher family businesses, rapers of Northwest forest lands and sweatshop laborers) NikeTown and Levi’s (whose overpriced products are made in sweatshops) McDonald’s (slave-wage fast-food peddlers responsible for destruction of tropical rainforests for grazing land and slaughter of animals) Starbucks (peddlers of an addictive substance whose products are harvested at below-poverty wages by farmers who are forced to destroy their own forests in the process) Warner Bros. (media monopolists) Planet Hollywood (for being Planet Hollywood) This activity lasted for over 5 hours and involved the breaking of storefront windows and doors and defacing of facades. Slingshots, newspaper boxes, sledge hammers, mallets, crowbars and nail-pullers were used to strategically destroy corporate property and gain access (one of the three targeted Starbucks and Niketown were looted). Eggs filled with glass etching solution, paint-balls and spray-paint were also used. The black bloc was a loosely organized cluster of affinity groups and individuals who roamed around downtown, pulled this way by a vulnerable and significant storefront and that way by the sight of a police formation. Unlike the vast majority of activists who were pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed and shot at with rubber bullets on several occasions, most of our section of the black bloc escaped serious injury by remaining constantly in motion and avoiding engagement with the police. We buddied up, kept tight and watched each others’ backs. Those attacked by federal thugs were un-arrested by quick-thinking and organized members of the black bloc. The sense of solidarity was awe-inspiring. THE PEACE POLICE Unfortunately, the presence and persistence of “peace police” was quite disturbing. On at least 6 separate occasions, so-called “non-violent” activists physically attacked individuals who targeted corporate property. Some even went so far as to stand in front of the Niketown super store and tackle and shove the black bloc away. Indeed, such self-described “peace-keepers” posed a much greater threat to individuals in the black bloc than the notoriously violent uniformed “peace-keepers” sanctioned by the state (undercover officers have even used the cover of the activist peace-keepers to ambush those who engage in corporate property destruction). RESPONSE TO THE BLACK BLOC Response to the black bloc has highlighted some of the contradictions and internal oppressions of the “nonviolent activist” community. Aside from the obvious hypocrisy of those who engaged in violence against black-clad and masked people (many of whom were harassed despite the fact that they never engaged in property destruction), there is the racism of privileged activists who can afford to ignore the violence perpetrated against the bulk of society and the natural world in the name of private property rights. Window-smashing has engaged and inspired many of the most oppressed members of Seattle’s community more than any giant puppets or sea turtle costumes ever could (not to disparage the effectiveness of those tools in other communities). TEN MYTHS ABOUT THE BLACK BLOC Here’s a little somthing to dispel the myths that have been circulating about the N30 black bloc: 1. “They are all a bunch of Eugene anarchists.” While a few may be anarchists from Eugene, we hail from all over the United States, including Seattle. In any case, most of us are familiar with local issues in Seattle (for instance, the recent occupation of downtown by some of the most nefarious of multinational retailers). 2. “They are all followers of John Zerzan.” A lot of rumors have been circulating that we are followers of John Zerzan, an anarcho-primitivist author from Eugene who advocates property destruction. While some of us may appreciate his writings and analyses, he is in no sense our leader, directly, indirectly, philosophically or otherwise. 3. “The mass public squat is the headquarters of the anarchists who destroyed property on November 30th.” In reality, most of the people in the “Autonomous Zone” squat are residents of Seattle who have spent most of their time since its opening on the 28th in the squat. While they may know of one-another, the two groups are not co-extensive and in no case could the squat be considered the headquarters of people who destroyed property. 4. “They escalated situations on the 30th, leading to the tear-gassing of passive, non-violent protesters.” To answer this, we need only note that tear-gassing, pepper-spraying and the shooting of rubber bullets all began before the black blocs (as far as we know) started engaging in property destruction. In addition, we must resist the tendency to establish a causal relationship between police repression and protest in any form, whether it involved property destruction or not. The police are charged with protecting the interests of the wealthy few and the blame for the violence cannot be placed upon those who protest those interests. 5. Conversely: “They acted in response to the police repression.” While this might be a more positive representation of the black bloc, it is nevertheless false. We refuse to be misconstrued as a purely reactionary force. While the logic of the black bloc may not make sense to some, it is in any case a pro-active logic. 6. “They are a bunch of angry adolescent boys.” Aside from the fact that it belies a disturbing ageism and sexism, it is false. Property destruction is not merely macho rabble-rousing or testosterone-laden angst release. Nor is it displaced and reactionary anger. It is strategically and specifically targeted direct action against corporate interests. 7. “They just want to fight.” This is pretty absurd, and it conveniently ignores the eagerness of “peace police” to fight us. Of all the groups engaging in direct action, the black bloc was perhaps the least interested in engaging the authorities and we certainly had no interest in fighting with other anti-WTO activists (despite some rather strong disagreements over tactics). 8. “They are a chaotic, disorganized and opportunistic mob.” While many of us could surely spend days arguing over what “chaotic” means, we were certainly not disorganized. The organization may have been fluid and dynamic, but it was tight. As for the charge of opportunism, it would be hard to imagine who of the thousands in attendance didn’t take advantage of the opportunity created in Seattle to advance their agenda. The question becomes, then, whether or not we helped create that opportunity and most of us certainly did (which leads us to the next myth): 9. “They don’t know the issues” or “they aren’t activists who’ve been working on this.” While we may not be professional activists, we’ve all been working on this convergence in Seattle for months. Some of us did work in our home-towns and others came to Seattle months in advance to work on it. To be sure, we were responsible for many hundreds of people who came out on the streets on the 30th, only a very small minority of which had anything to do with the black bloc. Most of us have been studying the effects of the global economy, genetic engineering, resource extraction, transportation, labor practices, elimination of indigenous autonomy, animal rights and human rights and we’ve been doing activism on these issues for many years. We are neither ill-informed nor unexperienced. 10. “Masked anarchists are anti-democratic and secretive because they hide their identities.” Let’s face it (with or without a mask)we aren’t living in a democracy right now. If this week has not made it plain enough, let us remind youwe are living in a police state. People tell us that if we really think that we’re right, we wouldn’t be hiding behind masks. “The truth will prevail” is the assertion. While this is a fine and noble goal, it does not jive with the present reality. Those who pose the greatest threat to the interests of Capital and State will be persecuted. Some pacifists would have us accept this persecution gleefully. Others would tell us that it is a worthy sacrifice. We are not so morose. Nor do we feel we have the privilege to accept persecution as a sacrifice: persecution to us is a daily inevitability and we treasure our few freedoms. To accept incarceration as a form of flattery betrays a large amount of “first world” privilege. We feel that an attack on private property is necessary if we are to rebuild a world which is useful, healthful and joyful for everyone. And this despite the fact that hypertrophied private property rights in this country translate into felony charges for any property destruction over $250. MOTIVATIONS OF THE BLACK BLOC The primary purpose of this communique is to diffuse some of the aura of mystery that surrounds the black bloc and make some of its motivations more transparent, since our masks cannot be. ON THE VIOLENCE OF PROPERTY We contend that property destruction is not a violent activity unless it destroys lives or causes pain in the process. By this definition, private propertyespecially corporate private propertyis itself infinitely more violent than any action taken against it. Private property should be distinguished from personal property. The latter is based upon use while the former is based upon trade. The premise of personal property is that each of us has what s/he needs. The premise of private property is that each of us has somthing that someone else needs or wants. In a society based on private property rights, those who are able to accrue more of what others need or want have greater power. By extension, they wield greater control over what others perceive as needs and desires, usually in the interest of increasing profit to themselves. Advocates of “free trade” would like to see this process to its logical conclusion: a network of a few industry monopolists with ultimate control over the lives of the everyone else. Advocates of “fair trade” would like to see this process mitigated by government regulations meant to superficially impose basic humanitarian standards. As anarchists, we despise both positions. Private propertyand capitalism, by extensionis intrinsically violent and repressive and cannot be reformed or mitigated. Whether the power of everyone is concentrated into the hands of a few corporate heads or diverted into a regulatory apparatus charged with mitigating the disasters of the latter, no one can be as free or as powerful as they could be in a non-hierarchical society. When we smash a window, we aim to destroy the thin veneer of legitimacy that surrounds private property rights. At the same time, we exorcise that set of violent and destructive social relationships which has been imbued in almost everything around us. By “destroying” private property, we convert its limited exchange value into an expanded use value. A storefront window becomes a vent to let some fresh air into the oppressive atmosphere of a retail outlet (at least until the police decide to tear-gas a nearby road blockade). A newspaper box becomes a tool for creating such vents or a small blockade for the reclamation of public space or an object to improve one’s vantage point by standing on it. A dumpster becomes an obstruction to a phalanx of rioting cops and a source of heat and light. A building facade becomes a message board to record brainstorm ideas for a better world. After N30, many people will never see a shop window or a hammer the same way again. The potential uses of an entire cityscape have increased a thousand-fold. The number of broken windows pales in comparison to the number broken spellsspells cast by a corporate hegemony to lull us into forgetfulness of all the violence committed in the name of private property rights and of all the potential of a society without them. Broken windows can be boarded up (with yet more waste of our forests) and eventually replaced, but the shattering of assumptions will hopefully persist for some time to come.

#682 Sat, 11 Dec 1999 00:13:20 From: “D. Ze’ev Gilad/Levinger” DZGilad at xx.x [Fwd: Fwd: FW: Last Lunar Hurrah] The Biggest Brightest Full Moon In A Long, Long Time… Last Lunar Hurrah of the Millennium Everyone should mark their calendars next month. (if some do not think this is genealogically related, I’ll explain after the message) It will be the Last Lunar Hurrah of the Millennium: This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, Dec. 22, commonly called the first day of winter. Since a full moon on the winter solstice occurred in conjunction with a lunar perigee (point in the moon’s orbit that is closest to Earth) The moon will appear about 14% larger than it does at apogee (the point in it’s elliptical orbit that is farthest from the Earth) since the Earth is also several million miles closer to the sun at this time of the year than in the summer, sunlight striking the moon is about 7% stronger making it brighter. Also, this will be the closest perigee of the Moon of the year since the moon’s orbit is constantly deforming. If the weather is clear and there is a snow cover where you live, it is believed that even car headlights will be superfluous. On December 21st. 1866 the Dakota Sioux took advantage of this combination of occurrences and staged a devastating retaliatory ambush on soldiers in the Wyoming Territory. In laymen’s terms it will be a super bright full moon, much more than the usual AND it hasn’t happened this way for 133 years! Our ancestors 133 years ago saw this. Our descendants 100 or so years from now will see this again. Remember this will happen December 22, 1999….. Just thought this would be interesting, now if I can just remember the date!!! (And it’s the last full moon of the millenium)

Just wanted to say a couple of things. First… thanks for the newsletter it’s AWESOME!!! Second is a question…why is it that a lot of Psy Trance gatherings have no available alcohol?? Myself and 2 friends I brought to Alpha Trance would’ve came in but when I asked the door man if there’s any alcohol he said no. Now there are a couple of points about this. I personally really enjoy going out to hear my music and dance while having a few beers. Yet it seems that places like Alpha Trance and Vinyl have no liquor license. Now there have been a few events I went to that did have beer and liquor. Like when House of Trance did a show at Twilo. And when I went to a psy trance show at Speed. And went I went to the Grand Marina near Shea Stadium they had alcohol too. But these are mainly event parties… …. If possible could you please please please announce in your mail lists if the clubs serve alcohol or not. It would also be really cool if you could generalize the size of the club so people know if the place they’re going to wind up in is going to be any larger than a coffee shop 🙂 Thank you and I really appreciate your mailing list!!!Revolver1010 at freewwweb OK you booze hound first of all alphatrance is not a club it’s a group of russians who rent out an art gallery so there’s no liquor license and if they served alcohol they’d get busted and for what? so 5% can drink? The scene is out of control enough, what with the schizophrenic street woman who wandered into the afterparty last Sunday and us having to call the police. There was a DELI outside that party, even the owner had a case he was chugging through the next day ( and boy did YOU miss out) The trance scene would have been impossible in the 70s and 80s b/c it was pre-AIDS and everybody would have been having wild sex, and the combo of jealousy a la Brave new World and STDs would have killed it. It also would be impossible without a general eschewance of drinking, which in general makes people ugly and makes men get aggressive with women. If you don’t believe me, try being sober in a group of drunks as opposed to serotonin selectors. You are to the parties, right, so you must get my point. My answer? Drink before you come (sounds like GHB ha ha), or, if it’s a DIY party (do it yersef) BYOB (bring your own brain heh heh) (wink wink nudge nudge say somemore saysomemore) OK also if you want alco-Eurotrance try Ssha and Digweed last friday of every month a Twilo, you will find many a drinking buddy as well as the usual assortment of idiots who drink while they are on E.

#690 Thu, 16 Dec 1999 11:52:12 From: “Shaievitz, Sondra” Sondra.Shaievitz at xxx.x The spiritual side of trance Hi Cliff, I just got your e-mail and I had to write back to you. First of all, what is phylocybin? My mind is always open. But more importantly, I am so happy to hear the way you describe the trance experience. I’ve just gotten into it since this summer. I have always been very spiritual, always longing to connect with the higher levels of consciousness, to experience what we humans were originally meant to experience but from which we have closed ourselves off. Sometimes I achieve that connection through meditation, chanting, etc. When I discovered trance (both the music and the goodies that go along with it) it quickly became part of my spiritual journey. Unfortunately, none of the people I have taken it with have approached it in this way. (Mojo, if you’re reading this, I don’t mean you) To them, it has always been just getting fucked-up, feeling fantastic and having a shitload of fun – which definitely has its place. But I was left feeling that I was the only person at trance parties who was seeking a spiritual connection to somthing higher. The first time I did it, I could literally feel my heart chakra open and the kundalini rising, bringing me up to an energy or “being” or somthing larger than us. It is very moving to me and I’m getting all misty-eyed just writing this. At first I felt alittle weird that I was turning to “substances”. I was never big on them. But since I have identified the motivation behind it for me, the spiritual quest, I am much more at peace with using it. I feel that I have actually been lead to trance, specifically for spiritual growth. Your e-mail has made me realize that not only am I not alone in this journey, but evidently many in the trance scene are on the same path. Thanks so much for opening my eyes to this. It means alot to me.

I hear the arguments (?) about alcohol and I think it’s safe to say it doesn’t have to intense ‘uplifting’ qualities of certain hallucinogens and serontonin-based substances. But remember the definition of ‘psychedelic’ … “mind-expanding; literally, to make the psyche visible.” In that sense, it’s still a ‘psychedelic’ in that it alters perception and (hopefully) loosens people a bit from the constraints caused by our corporeal embodiment and material existence. Like any d, it affects different people in different ways bringing out the best or sometimes the worst. Some people are really happy drunks … others become belligerent. But the mind-altering properties and propensity toward camaraderie that alcohol can induce is an age-old phenomena. Along with tobacco, it’s one of the oldest “recreational” ds and has been used ceremoniously for centuries (priests, Buddhists, shaman, old guys sitting on the dock) … plus it’s ‘widespread’ quite a bit more accessible to the masses than more “elite” (read: hard-to-find, cutting edge, unexplored) ds. Unfortunately, especially in America, the tendency to abuse alcohol is rampant and extreme. But for those that *responsibly* find a use for it in their repertoire of alternative experience, it’s no worse than anything else.

#692 Thu, 16 Dec 1999 12:11:48 From: Luis Alonso luis.mancilla at x.x Re: Re: A question about Alpha trance and other clubs. Yeah, alcohol is hardly relevant at trance parties as an effective or meaningful form of stimuli. Consider instead that in finding “this energy that binds us,” the journey toward wholeness, or the moment when one stands outside the prison of self, in that release, VISION opens as though when you stand from on top of the tallest mountain. In that great short moment there is supreme joy unbroken by the preoccupations of body and mind. Bliss may attend the breakdown of the ego’s confining walls, but a preparation is needed-or else a monstrously misshapen berserk may ambush you instead. Violence, lust, frenzy, to name a few, lurk about when the protecting & sheltering structure of everyday life crumbles – balance may be lost forever. What of a subtle matter of preparation? Music like trance, within melody and rhythm, evoke a poised readiness that may transport us beyond ourselves. Many traditional practices make use of this to bring participants into a new state. Dance is the physical representation of music. And a quality in music is that it is capable of expressing the objective basis of all traditional art-knowledge of the greater whole. Music’s hidden harmonies us, as lesser wholes, toward the aim of our search; to that which elevates and expands us. Once that condition is achieved, we might be ready to meet higher, more primal energies. -Therefore trance on- LM On Thu, 16 Dec 1999, Cliff Hall wrote: From: “Cliff Hall” cliff at hotbot however, if you’re ready to quit loitering at the lower chakras and allow the energy that binds us to flow unimpeded through the core of your being, ultimately revealing the true inner peace that can only be had when you finally begin to resonate with the carrier wave your soul is broadcasting… well, then your ready for trance. as for conciousness altering for such events, i recommend psylocybin… -trickyelf

Well, I’m always partial to having some wine or hard liquor while partaking of certain *other* intoxicants…. the only thing “low” about the “lower chakras” is their location. When they are fully engaged, there is just as great a possibility for expansion and insight as when the “higher” functions are activated. If the consciousness processing the experience is course, then it makes little difference if the ascendant “energy” is of a carnal or ‘spiritual’ nature… 1.st HI Jeff. It was nice to see you at the afterparty on 40th St. It’s Tim. Somthing is wrong with the chat script at the brainmachines. Is there a hybrid IRC log-on?????and what server????? 2.nd About this whole mess with the Alpha Trance “questionaire”. Why does everybody has to define the different meanings of trance and substances, and the whole trance scene for that matter. It somthing personal and for everybody it’s different. I have been listening to the music for the last 3yrs. and got into the substance exploration in the past 11 mos. With ds or without its still somthing very beautifull, and I am not talking about this spiritual connection stuff and all. Who are you connecting to??? What are they saying to oyu???? Well, I just explore myself. I connect with myself. Yea the mandalas and fractals are very very nice (especially on acid) but I can do without them also…………it’s just how you make it!!!!!! For that matter, Luis, you said it the way it is and I support you 100%. If people want to drink….let them drink….if they want to do ds ….they can do as much as they want….(and hopefully they know their limits)….this is what it’s all about….freedom. btw.

#701 Fri, 17 Dec 1999 19:05:08 Friday Correction HEY! Here’s an update on the alphatrance arty tonite. The live act is ZaZen, and the beast actually has *three* heads – Gnome, Koan, and TrickyElf. their unique style covers the psytrance spectrum and will take you from chill, cerebral bodymovers to hard-driving, bullet-train hyperspace tracks! All these interesting thoughts about the pyschedelic Trance scene. Yes it is many things to many people, and like each of us that are individuals it has individual meanings. The major difference of TRANCE music from people that I have heard world over is that this music is experienced. Most music in the world is only listened to. Not that Trance cannot be “listened to” but because of it’s intensity it has this unique ability to encapsulate and make itself “Experienced”. Not everytime or everwhere, but it contains the properties moreso than most other music, thus it’s name-TRANCE. And as consciousness evolves everything becomes more and more intense. The information age that we have taken for granted would have been to much for an individual 100 years ago. The fast paced world we live in would be to much if someone was Transported into our time. AS YOU ARE READY, SO IS THE UNIVERSE. When a being can handle it, the infinite has all the intensity you can stand and more. a.. Alcohol……. ‘human kinds’ little bosom buddy. Another “opiate of the masses”! This to is an indivual thing. I can only relate from my experience and let others be aware. After many years of dousing myself with Satan’s Sperm(alcohol) I began to take l again. (I had stopped for 4 years because it was ” To INTENSE, MAN! “). And after taking l in places where people are participating in this so called sociably acceptable form of human interation, I began to WAKE UP. b.. c.. I began to see through the illusion that Alcohol tends to facilitate. I watched as these souls walked around in a drunken stupor. [ The Websters Dictionary defines STUPOR: a state of suspended or deadened sensibility. ] Hmmmm. I began to see. You ever notice how you can’t even see well after a few stiff drinks, things bet blurry. d.. e.. And we have all been or are presently in that stupor state. That is fine. There are no judgements. But as with everything, this is a better way of being. The general lack of alcohol at TRANCE parties is a move towards this higher state of being. When one is ready and able to move to the speed of the higher vibrations (and remember everything that is….. is vibration) there will be no time for a STUPOR. f.. g.. I have had my time and place with Alcohol, as must all. Alcohol is like a diaper, and just as I no longer need a diaper to keep me from shitting all over the place I no longer need ALCOHOL. But to each their own and in their own time. h.. i.. So good luck to all who still find an appropriate place in their lives for alcohol. I just recommend balance. Balance for all things, alcohol, pyschedelics and in life in general. PEACE!!!!!!!!!! j.. k.. KOAN

#702 Sun, 19 Dec 1999 15:50:33 Winter Solstice Party Wednesday There is a suprise visit from one of the three founders/DJ’s from the famous Los Angeles MOONTRIBE SOUND SYSTEM.

This will be held this wednesday December 22 the winter soltice, no matter how many people come. I’m aware that people are going to bitch about the cold but we don’t care. Were making sure that there is going to be Firecans to keep people warm,and we just want to have a small number of people anyway to keep the family vibe that the moontribe experiences every full moon party they’ve thrown,no matter how many show up. Dj’s: JOE (MOONTRIBE FOUNDER) MATTHEW MAGIC (TSUNAMI-PROJECT BEYOND) JOA (POLYMORPHOUS-NYC) SEAN DETECH (PROJECT BEYOND-MOJOSTUDIO) plus more to be added… this will be mainly a psy-trance experience, but we will throw in the proper diversity needed to keep things interesting. Remember it’s FREE so dress warm and don’t bitch, it get’s cold in the desert and that hasn’t stopped them for over five years. If your interested please feel free to e-mail me for directions irishdragon at rcn Hope to here from some of you soon, MATTHEW MAGIC

#704 Mon, 20 Dec 1999 14:46:43 More background info on Dec 22 From: “D. Ze’ev Gilad/Levinger” DZGilad at spacelab.net The Biggest Brightest Full Moon In A Long, Long Time… Last Lunar Hurrah of the Millennium Everyone should mark their calendars next month. (if some do not think this is genealogically related, I’ll explain after the message) It will be the Last Lunar Hurrah of the Millennium: This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, Dec. 22, commonly called the first day of winter. Since a full moon on the winter solstice occurred in conjunction with a lunar perigee (point in the moon’s orbit that is closest to Earth) The moon will appear about 14% larger than it does at apogee (the point in it’s elliptical orbit that is farthest from the Earth) since the Earth is also several million miles closer to the sun at this time of the year than in the summer, sunlight striking the moon is about 7% stronger making it brighter. Also, this will be the closest perigee of the Moon of the year since the moon’s orbit is constantly deforming. If the weather is clear and there is a snow cover where you live, it is believed that even car headlights will be superfluous. On December 21st. 1866 the Dakota Sioux took advantage of this combination of occurrences and staged a devastating retaliatory ambush on soldiers in the Wyoming Territory. In laymen’s terms it will be a super bright full moon, much more than the usual AND it hasn’t happened this way for 133 years! Our ancestors 133 years ago saw this. Our descendants 100 or so years from now will see this again. Remember this will happen December 22, 1999….. Just thought this would be interesting, now if I can just remember the date!!! (And it’s the last full moon of the millenium)

#709 Wed, 22 Dec 1999 12:27:03 Winter Solstice Tonight *Email to everyone we’re starting a tribal solstice/equinox tradition* Things seem to have worked out. The full moon party starts at 9:00 pm tonight (Wednesday) and goes until we stop. Dress warm Gloves hat jacket. Please bring your own bottle of water. BYOB (… … … Brain) The event will be held at the George Washington bridge location. This is where Alphatrance and Subtle Chaos have thrown their outdoor parties. Happy Holidays and welcome home to so many psy-trance students returning from school. The celebration space is the best place I’ve been to in NYC. You must check it out. Be patient if it takes a while for their generator to get running. It is on the northern tip of Manhattan, on the east corner where the GW Bridge and he Triborough merge. Once you’re on 181st and Amsterdam it is a 5 minute walk. Don’t get confused with these simple directions. Follow them literally. Take the subway 1 or 9 to 181st. & St. Nichols. Walk east. Go to the southeast corner of 181st and Amsterdam. Stand there. Look east. See the little paved pedestrian paved path that runs next to the road on the south side, parallel to the highway that the cars are on? Walk east on it; after about 100 yards it starts dipping south, The little road gently slopes down into the park, down some stairs, goes under an arch, splits in two (take the right path) and down more stairs and continues down down down until you hear music. It’s creepy getting there but there are a lot of good people around %-)(that’s a stoned Israeli with a beard) Bring blankets cigarettes and 5HTP and water.

#713 Thu, 23 Dec 1999 17:15:48 MERGER Merger of monopolies Christmukah Continuing the current trend back towards turn-of-the-century monopolies, it was announced today at a press conference that Christmas and Chanukah will merge. An industry source said that the deal had been in the works for about 1300 years, ever since the rise of the Muslim Empire. While details were not available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost of having twelve days of Christmas and eight days of Chanukah was becoming prohibitive for both sides. By combining forces, we’re told, the world will be able to enjoy consistently high quality service during the Fifteen Days of Christmukah, as the new holiday is being called. Massive layoffs are expected, with lords a-leaping and maids a-milking being the hardest hit. As part of the conditions of the agreement, the letters on the dreydl, currently in Hebrew, will be replaced by Latin, thus becoming unintelligible to a wider audience. Also, instead of translating to “A” great miracle happened there,” the message on the dreydl will be the more generic, “Miraculous shit happens.” In exchange, it is believed that Jews will be allowed to use Santa Claus and his vast merchandising resources for buying and delivering their gifts. In fact, one of the sticking points holding up the agreement for at least three hundred years was the question of whether Jewish children could leave milk and cookies for Santa even after having eaten meat for dinner. A breakthrough came last year, when Oreos were finally declared to be Kosher. All sides appeared happy about this development except for Santa’s dentist. A spokesman for Christmas, Inc., declined to say whether a takeover of Kwanzaa might not be in the works as well. He merely pointed out that were it not for the independent existence of Kwanzaa, the merger between Christmas and Chanukah might indeed be seen as an unfair cornering of the holiday market. Fortunately for all concerned, he said, Kwanzaa will help to maintain the competitive balance. He then closed the press conference by leading all present in a rousing rendition of “Oy, Come All Ye Faithful.”

#714 Thu, 23 Dec 1999 17:31:00 News on the alt NYears party Thanks to all for attending the Full Moon Winter Solstice under the bridge last night. We danced around the bonfire like anaesthetic saddhus underneath a beautiful clear and unseasonably warm night. Heads off to Matthew Magic who truly came through to demonstrate that he can on occasion transcend being the house monkey for Tsunami and rise to the occasion of his role as the atomic fulcum of the cutting edge of full-on tribal DIY, meanwhile proving to outoftowner Cali freaks like Moontribe that we are not just weekenders here on Empire Island. Can’t wait for the Vernal Equinox celebration this spring, same bat time, same bat channeling. Now for the NewYears update – (this is the shit. if you don’t have $105 for Tsunami GO HERE. Tsunami won’t open until 1AM (you heard it here first – the owners of Vinyl want it for a private party until 1am) so if you want to be with the Trance Folk for the countdown this is a must. Me, I’ll be here until 4am then off to Tsunami until 10PM next day- if $ is no object (perfect wyrld) then by all means go to BOTH party people!!) also, keep in mind there is NO COAT CHECK so you’ll have to manage – maybe bring a pack combination lock with a metal cord, $10 at EMS camping stores – or if yer nice you can pile it in with my brainmachines shit) MILLENIUM VISION time travel with psychedelic trance A SubtleChaos Science Production, one time only for Millenium celebration in New York! Location: 40th Street between 9 & 8 ave. Walk east 20 meters towards 8th on 40th Street, look for a door on the right with a “nuclear shelter” sign and flyers on the door. (this is same location as AlphaTrance events) Party starts at 2am 01.01.2000. Before 2am, the music will be playing but the crowd might be quite random as flyers will be given out on the street… (sorry, the club wants to make some money they pay $75). After 2am though the place is ours until we are finished, my guess is that most of the non-trance crowd will quickly want to leave, we are determined to make this is a real trance event for the rest of the time. We have no time limits, we might end up quite late if you want us to. The special price for friends, listies, all new york party people is $30, please email me with your names, you will receive this price only if we have your name before Dec. 31St. Otherwise the club might charge full price. Please bring the flyer with you as well. Flyers will given out by us, AlphaTrance and friends, no flyers in stores. A URL for the flyer will be posted shortly. This is full-on psychedelic night, long DJ set by us, and some suprise guests from Israel (some really old friends just arrived to spend holidays in New York, so some foregn talents will be heard). Drinks, visuals, chai, we’re working on it… Ohh yes, we are aware of the toilet problems !:-) no worries, this time the club will have their employees working during the party, constantly helping to keep it clean. We are creating this event as an alternative to Vinyl, we know that not all can get in that club and not all are so interested in the line-up, we will try to have a small party for friends, that we can afford & enjoy to the end. vadim SubtleChaos

#715 Thu, 23 Dec 1999 17:41:48 Oh – here’s the guest list for MILLENIUM VISION time travel with SubtleChaos (RE: prev email) Avoid paying the $75 General Public fee and send all guest list additions for the Hell’s Kitchen location party before Dec 31st to: vadim at hotmail (Vadim) He’s the producer of the heavy Slavic metal trance, you can hear generations of chains that the Cossacks and Czars had shackled the Pogrommed Jews and peasants being THROWN OFF in a catharsis of ecstacy and spiritual renewal.

#716 Thu, 23 Dec 1999 18:29:32 Kvetching about crowds My only concern would be: how the hell do we get into Midtown on New Year’s Eve? Remember, 40th & 9th is almost Times Square, so the crowds are going to be unmanageable (what is it, 3 million folks tryin to be there at the same time?), the subway stations will be closed, cars will be prohibited from entering the area, etc. etc. Pity on those of us who live in Brooklyn… But I think what we’re gonna do is stop by later in the morning (5-ish) when the night’s craziness is mostly gone… until then, it’s champaign and candles and ambient trance in a very close circle of friends. Vlad It’s GLOBAL CHAOS we going CRAZY so bring your firepower and brainpower. See you there. I know you can make it, O Vlad the Impaler. Get outta Brooklyn already you Sesame Street vampyre motherfucker hah hah…

#720 Tue, 28 Dec 1999 05:12:39 +0200 From: “D. Ze’ev Gilad” DZGilad at xx.x A Rant On The End Of The Second Millenium A Rant On The End Of The Second Millenium My Dear Sisters & Brothers, Meaning is crumbling. We are in the clutches of chaos. And it doesnt feel quite exactly like anyone could have guessed. What the hell is going on here? Ive been observing the approach toward 2000 with what I consider an unusual amount of interest for a couple of years now. Ive been conducting informal surveys of everyone I run across. Some of you have been victims of this probing. Ive got some conclusions. There is a Theory of Novelty (see Terence McKenna) which proposes, in short, that the Universe is a novelty-preserving engine. By novelty, we mean “newness,” or, that which previously was not: the arising of somthing novel. In the beginning, according to both priests and scientists, there was chaos, the formless void, the Oneness. There was only one thing. Time passed, and then new things, novel things, began to distinguish themselves from out of the void. Subatomic particles. Atoms. Eventually, molecules. More time passed, and these coalesced into stars, then planets. Matter differentiated itself from space, substances differentiated themselves from other substances, and the world was inexorably drawing forward into greater and greater complexity. Greater novelty. Where before there was one thing, then a few, now there were many, and these new things have been, for the most part, preserved into the present. Much, much later, life distinguished itself from non-life, and one of the things that characterizes life is its great complexity, its novelty, over non-life. The Earth, as far as we know, is a nexus of complexity in the Universe. Youd have to travel pretty far to find any more life out there, if youd find it at all, and that makes us and our little planet pretty special, pretty complex, in the grand scheme of things. Then fairly recently, a form of life here on the planet developed a big brain, and the Universe found itself with an engine for generating novelty that was extremely efficient. Just give it some food, and it generates ideas at an alarming rate. Ideas are a highly efficient way to generate novelty. And if you look back, the rate at which novelty has been increasing throughout time has been increasing exponentially. Things are getting more and more novel, faster and faster. Now, the nature of somthing novel, how it “looks and feels”, is like somthing that you didnt imagine previously. Because its new. People describe this as “Things are changing so fast!” or “That was weird!” or words to that effect. Ive been having a really weird year. In fact, I would say its been the weirdest year of my life. Ive had a boatload of experiences that Ive never had before. And a lot of people in my survey agree. A lot. (Sorry no statistics. You know what Mark Twain said. There are three types of lies. White lies. Dirty lies. And statistics.) Some agree in a way that’s different from what I would have expected. Like my dad. I asked him if hes been having a weird year, in comparison to all the ones that came before. He said he couldnt really remember all the ones before. I asked, “Has it always been like that?” He laughed and said, no, that was new this year. Ive seen an alarming number of people literally lose their sanity in front of my eyes. Never seen that before. It feels to me, standing here on 28/12/99, like everyone has lost their footing, like everyone is sort of floating a couple of millimeters above the ground. I heard someone say that no one has any respect for anything anymore. I think thats one apt way of describing the dissolution of meaning. I think we all realize by now that life has no meaning beyond the meaning we give it. Nothing has any meaning, except what we give it. Thats what we do, us humans: we invent meanings for things. In the past, there has been more popular agreement on meaning. Like on marriage, and God, and communism, and so forth, but lately, its all falling apart. I feel like most of my life I was getting to understand things better and better, but in the last year, Ive started to feel like I dont know shit. What do you know for sure? What do you know for sure is meaningful? What is the meaning of that thing? Is there anything you know the meaning of? And I mean KNOW like in the good old days, remember? When you were younger? When you KNEW some stuff, like, beyond a shadow of a doubt? I used to know stuff. Not anymore. Its all up for grabs. Its all up for grabs. What kind of doctor are you going to go to for your latest ailment? Which and how many self-help gurus have given you new ways of looking at things? What are you going to tell your kids to prepare them for the next 30 years of their life? Do you have any idea what the world will be like in 20 years? Is technology making you crazy? Do you suspect it might be out of control? Should you buy a Mac or a PC? Should you go on the caveman diet or be a vegetarian? Why are so many people still smoking cigarettes? Have you tried Ecstacy? Whats with all the body piercing? Do you have moments in your life when you totally lose control? Do you like it? Shouldnt you be married by now? Isnt it time to switch careers? Are you where you thought youd be at this age? Is your sex life satisfying? Shouldnt we have dismantled all those nuclear warheads by now? Can there be a peace in the Middle East? What does God REALLY want? Have you seen a lot of porn? Do you have a homepage? Do you want to live forever? Its liberating, to realize that meaning is what you make it, that that is what our purpose is as humans, to invent meaning, to give life meaning. But its unsettling. Leaves you kind of cold. And it leaves you with a kind of empty space. A kind of reformatted hard drive. I think a lot of people will commit suicide this weekend. I think the REAL Y2K bug is not the one in the computers, its the one behind your eyes. Look around you. Have things been making less and less sense? Have the people closest to you, the ones you thought you knew, been acting a bit, oh, I dont know, odd? Saying things you didnt think theyd say? Acting a little funny? Maybe sometimes its cute, maybe other times its scary. If anyone out there has been experiencing a nice solid period of stability, please let me know. There are, in general, two reactions to questions about the Millenium. One is anxiety and concern that somthing terrible will happen. The other is, “Give me a break with all that Millenium crap, nothings gonna happen, goddamn it, you wont catch ME buying into all that hype. Damn it.” You know, the feigned apathy types. Lets face it: weve all wondered, at various times in our lives, “How old will I be in the year 2000? Where will I be? What will I be doing? What will the world be like?” Ive wondered, anyway. Many times. And it always seemed a ways off, then, BOOM, it was really close. And here it is just three days away. The year 2000 has been THOUGHT ABOUT more than any other future year. Ever. Its been in the back of your head. Hopes and dreams. Visions. Fears. Youve seen it imagined in movies, books, and on TV. I loved Princes “Tonight were gonna party like its 1999.” I loved 2001. So fucking what? Its just a year. But everything in human history has been “just” a somthing. And youre going to live with that year in your head for a whole year. Youre going to be looking around, youre going to have you spider-senses on alert, watching for signs of change, arent you? Even if you think nothings going to happen this weekend (HA!), youre secretly hoping that somthing does. Me, personally, I want the aliens to land. But like everything else in our wonderful and sordid history, we have the opportunity to invent the meaning of the new millenium. Dont forget, the Third Millenium doesnt begin until 1/1/2001. We have a year to set it up in our heads. I propose we make it mean the dawning of a new era. All you have to do is have a clear picture in your head of what you want the new era to be like. I trust you. I dont need to tell you what it should be. (The things that usually bring me happiness are love, sugar, and a good party.) But that weird feeling youve been having, that weird “somthing” thats been going on, that you cant quite put your finger on, or say “there it is” or “here is its girth in inches”, is an opportunity for revision. I say, lets make the most of it. Let the Y2K bug in your head run rampant and delete all your files. Let it give you more megabytes for some new programs. Because things are REALLY gonna come down in 2012. Dont believe the hype. You have NO IDEA whats coming. Love, dzg 28 December 1999 PS: I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast. The rowers keep on rowing And they’re certainly not showing Any signs that they are slowing…

It’s looking better and better, as it looks like someone won’t have to put on the alien mask rollerblading with bullhorn and Freddy Krueger claws to scare out general public fux so we can get some rheum to dance. If you want to be somewhere before the ball drops this is the only trance party,
