I bought this to relive something I ... *by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015* Good read. I bought this to relive something I experienced myself (90's & early 2000s underground rave movement) through someone else's perspective to see someone else's experiences and compare them to what I remember. Now keep in mind I experienced this movement in NYC, and really nowhere else. This book (and its author) clearly has a perspective from the UK. But it was entertaining to read, and I learned a lot of things I never knew about the movement that the author was aware of that were happening around the world at the time, and does a good job of telling the stories of the parallel things and events occurring around the world since the 80s that brought the rave/edm scene from an underground acid house movement to where it is today. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of detail *by T***G on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019* Lots's of detail (maybe too much, it's a thick book!) on the history of music associated with raves and the use of extasy . Did make me look up some of the music it described and that I was not familiar with and found some I liked. If electronica/rave is your thing I suspect this would be a must have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of critics of the book complain about Reynolds' ... *by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015* A lot of critics of the book complain about Reynolds' highly opinionated views on the developments of electronic dance music. This is a mistake; a wholly academic research and categorization with no regards to the vivid, honest opinions of the people who were there is of no use when much of the magic is about what it represented, where the parties happened, who were its consumers and creators, and so on.Reynolds describes the ambiances, locations, producers, labels, and theory behind the music, parties and institutions that compose the music of that era. It adds social significance to those of us who have only the sounds free of context. A must-have for anyone with interest in electronic music of the past and present.Simon provides a refreshing, highly informative, and thorough overview of dance culture. It has made me appreciate and discover music I would not have found otherwise, and clarifies many questions I had on musical preference. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/103608143-energy-flash-a-journey-through-rave-music-and-dance-culture](https://www.desertcart.us/products/103608143-energy-flash-a-journey-through-rave-music-and-dance-culture) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
