Seems like the German ravers really like this Dj. He played some weird music, difficult to give it a name. Not a bad set.} {{* Dave Clark (London) GB (Starship Universe Room / 21:30 - 22:45) The first big name behind the turntabels, and a good act to. Played the usuall stuff, techno.}} {* Tanith (Berlin) D (Planet Of Cyberpunk Room / 22:45 - 00:00) YES, He made again a pretty awesome set! His set was in 'The Planet Of Cyberpunk Hall'. Lots of people were there during his set and the atmosphere in the hall was also superb, lots of smoke, a robot who was raving(?) between the people shooting with a lazergun and of course the style, brilliant hardtrance!! One of the best things I've heard that night.} {{* Underworld (London) GB- LIVE * (Tribal Temple Room / 23:30 - 00:30) Nice act! Playing their biggest hits, tought I missed 'Rez' and 'Dark And Long' maybe it was because I missed the beginning (Tanith was still busy playing :-).}} {* Take Off Sequence * (Startship Universe Room / 00:45 - 00:50) This was not a dj or an act, just a little show, to 'start' the rave. They played some samples from 'StarTrek' toghether with a little lightshow. Nice one, first time I saw them using their lasers, and togheter with The Comsic Baby Live act, the last time. What was wrong with the lasers,problems? (Can't image a mega-rave without lasers :)} {{* Cosmic Baby (Berlin) D - LIVE* (Starship Universe Room / 00:50 - 01:20) Haven't seen the whole act coz I didn't like it that much, I've seen the beginning which was pretty nice (the combination from the music and the lights) but after a while it was kinda boring so I left.}} {* Spicelab (Frankfurt) D - LIVE* (Tribal Temple Room / 02:30 - 03:00) I always wanted to see O.Lieb once life, this was my change. It was pretty nice, but I expected better, the act was only 30 minutes long and that's a bit short for O.Lieb, fans will also know that he loves to make long music-pieces, so 30 minutes is a bit short for him. Maybe it would be better if it was a live act from 'Oliver Lieb' and not from 'Spicelab' that way he could play what he wanted, and not only songs that came out under the formation 'Spicelab' but also songs from L.S.G., Paragliders, The Ambush...} {{* Resistance D (Frankfurt)D-LIVE (Mother Earth Room / 03:30 - 04:30) Nice act! But I dind't see the whole act :( I saw only half of it, but what I've seen and heard was really nice! It was one of the longest to from the party, 1 houre.}} {* Laurent Garnier (Paris) F * (Starship Universe / 03:15 - 04:45) What can I say about this? :-) good!} {{* Dave Angel (London) GB * (Starship Universe / 04:45 - 06:00) Heard this dude before, but it was a rather long time ago and i didn't remember it very well. Psyched call this dude a God, so I checked him out. Psyched: well you're right, he's cewl. Very nice techno sounds, all mixed very well togheter, tought I heard better in my life :)}} {* Prodigy (London) GB - Live * (Starship Universe / 02:45 - 03:15) It was not my intention to go to this act, but when I arrived and Laurent Garnier normally should be playing these guys where still busy with their live act. Seems that it was THE act of the gathering. (didn't expect it, coz Prodigy is kinda commercial and not everyone like breakbeats). I heard some of their biggest hits and the crowd went totally crazy on their breakbeat sounds. After that normally Laurent Garnier should be playing, didn't know if he played right after them coz The Prodigy made a mess since their live act runned way out of time.}} {* Jens Lissat (DusserlDorf) D (Planet Of Cyberpunk / 06:00 - 07:15) Also the first time I've heard this dude, he was the last one who played that evening (morning) in 'The Planet Of Cyberpunk Hall'. The Music was nice but he had LOTS of troubles with his tourntabels, the needles were damaged, so it was difficult for him to mix his records good, maybe the needles were damaged because Jeff Mills and Lenny Dee played before him on the same tables :)} {{* Marco Zaffarano (StuttGart) D (Startship Universe / 06:00 - 07:15) I'm not sure if it was Marco Zaffarno, coz normally he played between 06.00 - 07:15am and he was the last dj. I was there around 07:45 so I guess it was him. Haven't heard much from him because my bus left at 8am :( But what i've heard sounded good. Many people were on the stage at the moment. The end was near :(}} {* Dag (Frankfurt) D (Tribal Temple Room / 00:30 - 02:30) Haven't heard his whole set, I was just a bit to early to hear the live-act from Spicelab. What I've heard sounded good, tough I think it was rather commercial things like 'Quench - Dreams' and so on.} {{{{1. Starship Universe Room}}}} Lights: Normal spots, not even multi-color ones. Strobos Laser (Sometimes, but only 1 color laser (green)) Sound: Not that good, to loud. The soundsystem couldn't handle such loud stuff. Decoration: Very nice! Projections on the main stage Starktrek things, (Mr.Spock and so on), The Universe rocket... Nice things on the ceiling, (dunno what it was, but it was nice) airplanes to on the ceiling. This was also the only hall who had a host, Mc.Ribbs. {{{{2. Planet Of Cyberpunk Room}}}} Lights: Spots, multi-color ones. Strobos Sound: Sounded good to me. Decoration: Nice, tought I haven't seen much from it since here was alot of smoke in there. A robot was there to, giving his show, it was really nice. He had a lasergun in his hand (red laser). To put it in other words, he really fitted in that room :) {{{{3. Planet Erotica}}}} Lights: Normal spots. Strobos Sound: Good Decoration: Haven't seen much decoration there, only a few things. Haven't spend much time there, coz i didn't liked the music that much. {{{{4. Tribal Temple Room}}}} Lights: Normal Spots, also a baloon where they projected things on. Sound: Good Decoration: Really nice! one of the best decorated halls. One of the smallest halls. Max Cap. 2000 people I think. Small note, it was VERY hot inthere :( {{{{5. Chill Out Room}}}} Lights: Multi-Color spots Sound: Good, but not loud enough, the room was just above the 'Mother Earth Room' and you could still here the music from there, or maybe the sound in the 'Mother Earth' room was to loud Decoration: Nice, BIG fluo mushrooms on the ceiling. {{{{6. Mother Earth Room}}}} Lights: Normal spots Sound: Good Decoration: None, atleast I haven't seen any. In the middle of the room their was a stair leading to the 'Chill Out Room'. {{{{7. Ultraschall - Hall 7}}}} Where the hell was that room?! Looked for it but haven't found it :( (The building was REALLY big :) Something about the place itself now. The whole place was really nice decorated, 'Startship Universe' had some airplanes on the ceilings, stark-trek projections... 'Planet Of Cyberpunk' had a really cyberpunk atmoshere and the robot was also very cewl, 'tribal temple' kinda jungle-decorated and so on... The only halls that were not decorated (at least i haven't seen any decorations) was the 'Planet Erotica' & 'Mother Earth room'. The lights were nothing special, just the usual spots, smoke canons, strobos... even no lasers! Except during the 'Take Off Sequence' and 'Cosmic Baby' live. 'The Starship Universe' was probably the most important room, very good dj's there, Dave Angel, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clark, Carl Cox... and it was the biggest room to, I think the room could handle around the 5.000 people. The other rooms where smaller. All togheter it was a VERY nice rave, one of the best I've been to. Pitty that it was so far for me, (850km) so when I arrived (around 8.30pm) I had already a bustrip from 12 houres behind me but it was worth it! There where other places to then those 7 halls, a market place were you could buy the usual rave stuff (Bad Mad cloths and so on) and a place outside were you could eat, drink and sit down. I even heard (but I haven't been there) that there was somekind of a little park to outside, with a little lake. The price of the drinks and food were not to high. The place outside was nice idea, because in some halls like the Tribal Temple Room it was REALLY hot and crowdy. The security was also good and I was very quick in. (1 minute :) Not like MAYDAY raves were you have to wait more then a houre to get in. In the building there was other stuff to like a little luna-park, Virtual Reality stuff... I don't know how many people were presented on the party coz they were so many halls but I think it must be around the 25.000. Many people were in one of those 7 halls but also lots of people were outside or just 'in the building'. All togheter it was a VERY nice rave. One of the best I've ever been to. I'm waiting for the Tribal Gathering '95! {{The UnderTaker, Gent - Belgium}} Oct. 94 {Hello, here's Psyched writing :-) After this good report I would like to add a few things that haven't been written by The Undertaker :-) First of all, I should say I was very impressed by the large entrance (hey, it's an old airport :-) and there were many points to get in, so, NO queue! (great! :) Then, when I entered the place (it was 11pm) from the Cyberpunk hall, the place was incredibly packed! We were completely lost and we've spend 30minutes to find the entrance for the next hall, the Merchandising hall... From there you could join all the starhip and the planet Erotica halls. Near the starship, there was a Big hall were one could drink (several bars) and play with a Virtual Reality game (!). Now, 2 words about music: everywhere the music was great! For example, i thought that the Planet Erotica would be only fucking lame garage :-) but till 3am it was slow acid and some great stuff. This hall wasn't decorated. There was only a big cage in the middle. The lights were good: a flow of smooths red lights! Heheh, it was erotic ;-) In the Starship, I could add that Zaffarano played a brilliant set! (I can rememeber a monotonous track he played during 15 minutes, but it was so hypnotic!). Other things I can add about music is that Gayle San was the revelation of the night!! She's from London and she plays often in the Club Uk-Final Frontier (Universe). She played some fucking good acid techno in the Tribal Temple. While she was playing, some mad dancers came on the stage with some awesome wearing and they bought a fucking great happy vibe! In the ambient room, Katrien klausing played the ambient I love particulary: acid ambient :-) ehhee... some slow 303 patterns without rhythm. That rulez! I have to find tapes from her! In the mother Earth room, I only saw the lives from Earth nation and Tranceformers. Earth Nation is kinda special: a fusion between rock/blues and techno. But I love their live! Tranceformers played some great acid stuff among with some more trancey stuff. OK, I have finished with the music :-) I just would like to say why the rave was even better than what I tought it would be:} - {{A room (Mother Earth) has been added. It wasn't mentioned on the flyer!}} - {You could get in the Ultrashall club too (in the location too, but it wasn't written on the flyer)} - {{The virtual Reality game attraction wasn't previewed on the flyer.} - {{The place was really unique and the total surface of it is certainly amazing}. - {{The music was great everywhere and all the time you had something really great to listen to (this is quite exceptional at mega raves, no?!)} As far as I heard, 25000 people attended the rave... You can find some pics a friend of mine has taken on hyperreal.com (probably on /incoming/universe, but perhaps they have moved them directory). The filenames are ttg94_*.jpg {{ Psyched - Geneva, Switzerland}} {{{{ps: hello to Syncros, Eye of the shadow...}}}}
