Quelques avis:

“A vivid and lucid account of the urban squat party experience from the inside… this is the real deal… Like a pumped up and glorious U.K. version of Hunter S. Thompson’s ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’, we are taken on a 48 hour odyssey of a weekend out ’ ‘avin it ‘ to euphoric, pounding techno, in a dirty warehouse, fuelled by  a potent cocktail of the strongest party drugs and  psychedelics known to man… At times hilarious, occasionally scary, this little novella captures succinctly the feelings of spirited rebelliousness, euphoric tenderness, and crazed abandon of the underground party scene… This is the story of the real 90’s ecstasy revolution.”

Chris Liberator (Stay Up Forever/ Cluster)

“This is an intense and accurate portrayal of the free party scene in the UK in the mid-90’s and contains some of the best depictions of raves that I’ve ever read.”

“Love it… It put me right back to the days when I was doing exactly the same thing in London 1995. A really fun read , with some great visual descriptions of the weirdest moments.”

D.A.V.E. the Drummer (Hydraulix/ Pounding Grooves)

“…its evocative descriptions will echo with anybody who has been to free parties anywhere or anytime then or since. It’s all there – the highs, the lows, the intense friendships, the casualties, the transformation of some derelict zone into a temporary playground… And of course the music. Writing about music without lyrics is notoriously difficult, but the author has a real sense of the physical impact of a snare, a kick drum or a blast of 303 on the bodies of dancers. Especially the latter – it’s all about the acid…”

“This is the first book I have not put down till I finished it in a very long time. Absolutely f-ing marvellous! Totally gripped me and bang I was at the party. Totally nailed it… and an awesome soundtrack.”
