I see creatures, organic creatures, walking the sacred plains of the Almighty. With shapes disgusting; almost human." 0003 / The vast plains of Mother Earth The bright sun is rising only to reveal a naked metal surface that stretch as far as I can see. No sound except that of wind towards steel, and maybe, if you listen carefully, the distant thunder of machines deep below the surface. Like the weak pulse of a living creature. - We greet you, Mother Earth. - You, the Lifebringer. For you are the Creator, the One. All are we a part of you, a single cell in the Almighty. The first spoken words, the second my own silent addition. In the distance I can see the priest with his hands high above his head, screaming out his prayer to a few devoted followers. As always, the weak turn away from knowledge, clinging desperately onto dogmas. They have charisma, but no real arguments - that's why they opposed the Sleep. They would have lost their power. And to many of them it was blasphemy. How could they challenge their master? Claim to be his peer? The others? I don't know. Fear, maybe. Nostalgia. Stubborn beliefs. What is life? What is death? More important: What is mind? Does it matter? *Is* mind matter? *My* mind leaps off on an endless road of meaningless questions. I *know*. At least I think I do. The years that have passed have at least thought me to be an agnostic whatever happens. Still I insist it is knowledge. I was one of the first to sleep. I was an engineer, working on the Exodus project. We were to leave the face of the earth alone, all sleeping. I wasn't important for the project, then I wouldn't have been a guineapig, but I knew, so they wouldn't have to initiate someone new. Some called us visionaries. I'm not so sure. None of the rumours mentioned dark laboratories with old equipment hidden in condemned buildings - out of reach of the police. None of them told about the constant fear of being found and killed before we were done. I never heard a word about wetting beds when we heard a police-siren moving past our hidingplace in the middle of the night. *We* were the visionaries. But all we ever did was mutilate others vision. I remember the very day we threw away Gibson (Gibson who? The name doesn't mean anything anymore), when we discovered how he never understood the consequences of his own stories; how his own visions seemed to scare him. He never understood the possibilities of cyberspace, he just opened the door. Naturally we owe something to the oldies. Of course we should give them credit for giving us names, for giving us inspiration. But it wasn't *them* that created cyberspace, nor did they give birth to cyberpunk. They never understood that what for them was some toy that you play around with for some time, and then throw away, bored, now finding it foolish, to us was something to take serious, to study. As a kid could play for some hours with a book on quantum physichs. Tearing the book to peaces. Finding the adults stupid that cares about putting the pieces back together trying to discover the secrets written on those pages. But I digress. In front of me the priest has long finished, and the sun has shifted towards the rugged mountains of concrete and steel that once was a major city. Now dark and dead. I did not know until now how successful the exodus was. I wanted to, that was why I returned. I felt lonely in my own little world. I guess I'll always be lonely. Fourty years, that is old when big adjustments is to be made. Just hope my kids doesn't feel the same way. Deserted. With an endless road on which one walks and walks from dawn until sunset, and from dark until dawn again: No human left. No consolidation, noone to love. --- * ppack@oslohd.no (The Powerpack) --- BTW: I would really appreciate comments, but only by *E-MAIL* - please do *not* assume that i read alt.cyber* 'cause I haven't got the possibility to do so at present... ----------------------L - i - N - e ----- N - o - I - Z ---------------------- File - # [ WIRED issue 2.04 has been banned in Canada for printing information ] [ regarding the Teale-Homolka murder case. Has the Canadian government gone ] [ too far? I think so... ] [ Here's WIRED's press release ] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Taara Eden Hoffman 544 Second Street Director of Publicity San Francisco, CA 94107 USA +1 (415) 904 0666 taara@wired.com Cyberspace Cannot Be Censored ***************************** WIRED Responds to Canadian Ban of Its April Issue Wednesday, March 23, 1994, San Francisco WIRED's April issue has been banned in Canada. WIRED's offense? Publication of a story called "Paul and Karla Hit the Net," a 400-word article about how Canadians are getting around a Canadian court decision to ban media coverage of details in the Teale-Homolka murder case. This article does not reveal details of the case. Instead, the article explains why the media ban has proven unenforceable and reports how information on the case is readily available to Canadians. According to a survey conducted by the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, 26 percent of those polled said they knew prohibited details of the trial, because they are continuously leaked by Canadian court witnesses, police, and others to the international media. Once this information is published, it pours back into Canada via fax, videocassettes, magazines and photocopies of articles, e-mail, Internet newsgroups, and other online services. In the United States, People magazine, and the TV show, A Current Affair as well as the New York Times and other publications and shows have covered the story and the ban. As WIRED's story and the action of Canada's Attorney General make clear, the ban is not only a waste of time and money,but has actually had the opposite effect of what was intended. Rumors and sensationalized accounts of the case abound, and the Teale-Homolka trial is one of the hottest topics of discussion among Canadians. "Banning of publications is behavior we normally associate with Third World dictatorships," said WIRED publisher Louis Rossetto. "This an ominous indication that the violation of human rights is becoming Canadian policy." According to Rossetto, the Canadian Government's recent seizure of gay and lesbian periodicals under the guise of controlling "pornography" and its behavior in the Teale-Homolka case have made Canada a leading violator of free speech rights, and have set a scary precedent for other nations that would like to control what its citizens read and think. "Information wants to be free," said Jane Metcalfe, WIRED's president. "At the end of the 20th century, attempts to ban stories like this one are condemned to be futile. That WIRED's criticism of the ban has itself been banned is supremely ironic and utterly chilling." Since WIRED supports free speech, WIRED is making the text of its "banned" story with details on how readers can get more information on the case available on the Internet. Canadians and people around the world can discover exactly what the Canadian government is trying to keep hidden.

I went by car and left munich at 10.30 am. The nearer I came to Dortmund, the more passing cars greeted with their horn or waved to me, when they saw the MAYDAY badge at the rear window of my car. When I stopped to stretch my legs or to drink something, there were always some other cars with ravers at the parking. It was no problem to find the location, I arrived finally at 5.30 pm at the parking and had to pay another 4 DM. With my camera I went to the main entrance and took some pictures of the crowd waiting there. There were ravers everywhere, some danced near there cars, where they had opened the trunk and put their loudspeakers outside. So it was a good start. Weather was fine (sun, but not too hot), some lay in the grass and slept a little bit. One pickup stood near the main entrance with one raver singing live to trance music. Often ravers asked me if I'd sell tickets, but I had none over. I asked what they would pay, and one said he'd pay 250 DM, but nobody sells his for that price, but he had an offer of 300.- My ticket I got for 70 DM, so I would have made quite a good deal if I bought one more to sell it. But I never thought they'd sell all 25.000 tickets in advance. There were signs which forbid cameras inside the hall, so I went back to the car and left it there. When I came back, the doors still weren't open and the first people began to shout and whistle. At half past 6 they began to let the people in and after 40 minutes I too was inside. They checked us for weapons and drugs, as always. At first I bought Pizza (5DM, fair price) and a raver-shirt (100 DM, quite much), because I thought the wear would soon be sold out and I couldn't lose that shirt but my money. Finally they'd actually had sold out those long shirts, so I was right. Some T-shirts were left. You also could buy MayDay posters, CDs, Video-Tapes of former MayDays, caps, even cups I think. Nearly everything. Commercialisation is becoming overwhelming, not too good if you ask me. Then I went in the main hall. It was full from the beginning on, but it was not TOO full, so that you'd get claustrophobia, like sometimes in munich, where you really can't turn your body any more. In the front was the DJ's desk, in the rear the Live-Act's desk, left and right loudspeaker walls. They had a lot of strobos, lasers and beams, I didn't count them. The top of the hall was closed, so it was fairly dark. The music was not too loud, I had louder raves already; the hall was too big and too high, so the sound didn't hurt. The quality was OK, I'd say it was one of the best sound systems I heard so far. They had two video screens (one the mirrored of the other) with sport scenes, i.e. there was the scene of a water diver, always repeated the jump and the way through the air just before he hit the water, then again the jump, etc. They had soccer scenes, dance scenes, and such, I think they were taken from the Olympic Games. Above all they had the MayDay logo, which sometimes was lighted colourfully. The DJ's or Live-Act's name was displayed with a Laser-Scroll, so you always knew who's at the decks. I had a timetable, but lost it, so I have to recall everything out of memory. In the main hall they kept the time totally. If the timetable said Live Act "Members of Mayday" is at time x, you can be sure it will start at x o'clock. That's germany. :) The first DJ was Pierre Morgan, after him came Cirillo. I think I heard a little bit of him, but don't like him so much. Then came Miss DJax. Her acid-set was OK, and the rave started to begin. Franky Jones I heard for the first time. I didn't know he's got so many techno hits and anthems. His style is techno (melodic) and mellow (according to psyched's reference samples... ;-) He really kicked. The crowd went crazy and he was the first positive surprise for me, I didn't hear of him before and he was SO good. I needed a break, and went up, drank something (Coke .4 litre 5 DM, that's expensive and unfair, beer 4 DM 1/3 litre), water in WC for free... :) and sat down to relax. From the top of the building you could see the light show. It was cool, although some ravers told me it would have been better last year. I can't compare it, but the laser level was cool. The beams enlightend the ravin' crowd. Everyone was in a good mood, you had the feeling of having 24999 friends. :-) That time I felt that I had a hard day. 5 hours sleep (I was in the cinema the day before and came home at 4am), 600km car ride, 2 hours raving. So I relaxed one hour or so, the DJs during that time I was not interested in. After relaxing I went to hall number two. There was Laurent Garnier. I think everybody knows him and nothing more must be said about his techno/ mellow/trance (everything around 160 bpm) music and his DJ qualities. He's OK and he was as good as I knew him from his munich appearances. We raved on and everything was fine. During the different DJs sometimes there was a Live-Act, always in the Big Hall. Because I lost my timetable I do not know the sequence the Live-Acts were, but I heard live - Ultra Sonic I remember nothing, but it was OK - Members of Mayday I'd say THE highlight of Mayday 6. They spinned their Mayday anthems (of course everybody knew them) & some additional tracks and because of the shouting hall you sometimes couldn't hear the music! BTW, some had whistles too but only few. Westbam sat on one loudspeaker and sometimes stood up and waved or clapped his hands. There were around 20 ppl at the Live Act podium and the whole hall raved off. - Genlog same as Ultra Sonic - Raver's Nature they kicked. I wonder why I remember so little, but I think they showed us some hardcore techno. - Acid Junkies trance, if I remember right. It was really good Then I went to the other hall to Pascal F.E.O.S. Some on the net told me he'd be so good and I missed him as he was in munich. Those dudes are right! He spins ass-kicking hard-trance and we danced our ass off. =:-( The 2nd hall had 10 strobos (I counted them... hehe) and 4 balloons where they displayed some video animations. Good sound, even better than in the main hall, and the strobos kicked better because this hall wasn't so high. There were a lot of people, but not TOO much, you had enough place to dance and the music was really OK. To reach this hall you had to go through the chill-out area, camel cigarettes ppl were there and offered you some for free, but actually they wanted to sell there stuff of coz. Pascal is really a good DJ. When you think "wow, it's so groovin'" he mixes in another track, even more better. I think Pascal spinned during Marusha's event in the Main Hall. She's well known by me so I could skip her, as I went back to that hall (going to the other hall took about 10 min) everybody danced to her "Rainbow" song, they were all in a good mood. After I did a little break Westbam was in the Main Hall. This time he wasn't so excellent. Of course he was good and flipped some of his favorite songs, but there were also some experiments (unknown styles for him, even breakbeat one time; BTW: I heard no bb, except Carl Cox for some short time) and he couldn't create tension. One month ago I experienced him at a rave and there he really kicked. But this time there was too much unknown music and new style of him, not his techno/mellow, but more trance stuff. In the other hall I shortly heard LTJ Bukem. He spins some cool music, very low frequencies, so that the hall vibrates and your back shakes "from alone", the walls convulse and such. You heard the qualtiy of the sound system by that... Very new and unknown for me, nothing to dance (many ppl left), but cool. Some new kind of trance? I skipped Paul Estak on the one hand because I heard him often at former raves and know he's good, on the other hand because my power drifted away. It's very hard to keep track on his music and dancing and I want to live longer... :). Same with Carl Cox, but I danced a little bit when he spinned. He was good as usual. So I really thought to leave Mayday 6, but the music and feeling were simply too good! And I'm a lucky boy, because the pre-last DJ of MAYDAY 6 was DJ Tanith. I never heard him before, but I think: he was the best DJ that night I heard. He has trance, deeptrance and hardtrance. It is excellent, simply excellent. We all were low at power, but gave the last stomp to his beats. He knows how to create tension and mixes perfectly. I danced like mad and fell into trance. I got second power. After Tanith's set I experienced Acid Junkies' Live Act (trance, OK) and then DJ Tom (or Woody, don't know) was the final DJ. He had some popular techno songs, mostly trance (deeptrance). It was nice, I liked it, but then I knew "that was it" and left the hall at about 9am in the morning. And then the bad part of the day began. My car lock was destroyed by some unfriendly person (I heard 40 cars were theftet that night) and first I tried to find another raver who could open the car without a key. Many tried to help, but all failed and said it's impossible without proper tools. So after three hours the damned car was opened by an ADAC (german automobile club) and to avoid a bill, I became a member of that club (costs me 37 DM a year). :-/ Then I drove two ppl I met home to Koeln/Bonn and slept in the park of Bonn (ppl looking surprised about my clothes... :-) and then drove home. In total I went 1400km with the car, 200 droven by a friend. But it was worth it. Enough said. To summarize Mayday6: All music was pretty new, I'd say from the last four months. The scene seems to go into deeptrance, nearly everyone played it, gabber DJs excluded. There were at least 25000 ravers, perhaps more, around 35000. Ppl I met said that at 1am, as they arrived, many left the hall, it was like come & go. And the hall was always full, so in total there must be much more than 25000 visitors. The music was OK, the sound system too, the Line Up excellent (though Dark Raver missing... :-( ) but the visual system could have been better, especially the strobos in the main hall. Not to mension my request for free water (at raves in general). 5 DM for 0,4 litres Coke is way to much. And finally: They really could afford protection of the parking cars!

Since Canada has access to many of the U.S. 800 #s, the Great White North telcos will hand things off to whatever carrier in the Excited States is responsible for the 800 number. Bell Canada tends to use those recordings as in "416 3". MCI recording formats tend to be of the format "2 x x" as in "2 C K", and the voice on the recordings sounds like the one used in some other MCI recordings. 950, 10xxx aren't rolling in Canada yet... at least not officially until 1st July. Even then, some carriers won't be using casual calling. MCI and Sprint 800 number access such as 1 800 950.1022 has been reachable in Canada before, though, for the benefit of those in the US who drop in for a visit. -- --- th'end --- ----------------------L - i - N - E ----- N - o - i - Z ---------------------- File - ^ ... n i b b l e s of information /by billy biggs o Go Figure : Lookie what happened to Billy Idol! >Date: Sat Apr 23 07:11:47 1994 >From: idol@well.sf.ca.us (William Broad) >Subject: Automated response, with apologies. >Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: The Vacation Program (assisted by 'Gone Fishin') > >Dear Net Surfers: > >I'm very sorry that you are in receipt of an automated response to my Well >mailbox, but after almost one year of answering my mail, I've found the task >to be overwhelming.

[IMAGE] ADAM CURRY QUITS MTV ========================================================================== April 25 1994 _EMail sent to me regarding my resignation is here._ I made a very important decision today, as I was driving to the MTV studios in New York to tape the Top 20 Countdown, I thought about how the world around me has been changing so rapidly, and how I have been an integral part of a lot of that with mtv.com on the net. The net is surpassing all traditional media, with it's ever increasing global audience, the power is unlimited, and it's in the hands of the people, finally! I felt totally wrong being part of such a revolution, if I may call it that, by at the same time, still clinging on to an icon of the 80's...a video channel that really hasn't had much of the "M" in it's name lately. And I found myself intro-ing Beavis and Butthead, and other "comedy" shows. So I taped almost all of the Top 20 countdown, and announced that I was quitting right before the #1 video. I'm going to devote most, if not all of my time now to the net, and my site on it, and to the expansion of this new frontier. In the past 6 and a half years that I worked at MTV, I grew into a "family" of production peple, who I will miss dearly, but at the same time I am making literally hundreds of new aquaintances daily in cyber-space. For prosterity's sake, my final show airs Friday (April 22) at 8pm and again on Saturday at 10am. You're going to see alot of major improvements to mtv.com (including the name) in the next couple of weeks, and all suggestions are very welcome, this is your place on the net too.

Long tracks, loud beats and no real 'hits'. The disc has it's high points and it's low points. For techno, I can't say I have the best knowledge, but I'd put this album at average. Nothing big to yap about. The samples are okay, sometimes dull and poorly placed, other times grossly overplayed. Most of the 11 tracks are somewhat creative, be it an interesting intro or some fancy sample editing. For Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb, their work on Front Line Assembly is much better than Intermix Phaze Two, and I have yet to find Delerium. I hear that the original Intermix CD is much better than the second, and we have yet to hear the new Intermix scheduled for release in June.
