A sentiment experienced by many in the UK around early 2006 was that rave was dead, and one such person at v/vm test records, an avant-garde UK dance/electronic label, James Leyland Kirby, visited the Berghain Club in Berlin. ...“At the time Berghain was about to explode on the international club scene as a temple. The feeling was in the air that something special was happening. I went and saw a pale shadow of the past. Grim and boring beats, endlessly pounding to an audience who felt they were part of an experience but who lacked cohesion and energy. For me personally something had died. Be it a spirit, be it an ideal, be it an adventure in sound. Rave and techno felt dead to me." https://www.factmag.com/2014/06/10/vvm-the-death-of-rave-a-partial-flashback/#:~:text=“The%20idea%20for%20The%20Death,club%20scene%20as%20a%20temple.
Due to this experience, Kirby went on to create "The Death of Rave," a soulless, pounding, 19 hour and 25 minute album in two parts, The Death of Rave (The Source) and The Death of Rave (Additional) on July 2, 2006. He later went on to release a remastered edition of 8 selected tracks in the 40-minute, 'The Death Of Rave (A partial flashback)' on May 29, 2014."
I found it intriguing that it was not included but thought I'd mention it on the off-chance it was relevant to the article. I'm not sure if it detracts or adds to it. If it needs re-worded that's fine as well. Keebruce (talk) 22:20, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
