ok, here's me being a newb again. haha.

I'm just curious what you guys think about the Chilluminati parties in comparison to other similar events hosted by different groups.
Crystal Sky was the first “rave” I ever went to. Are the Chill parties even considered raves? I thought it was a much different experience (very positive!) than I expected from what people would call a rave. Are the Chill parties always like that?

I suppose I'll find out for myself, as I'm going to some more raves/parties/whatever this year… but I'd really like to hear some perspectives from those who have more experience than me. 🙂

thanks!

Chilluminati parties are always like that.  Chilluminati chillum parties are even better!  ;D

As having been to many rave and psy-trance parties I would def say the psy-trance parties are way better, more peaceful, kind, loving, artistic, intelligent.  Not to sound snobish but the differences in people you find at psy-trance events beat some of the riff-raf that is attracted to general old raves.  I've been to some great raves though and have met wonderful people.

psytrance campouts are the best! It's like a big family tribal gathering with great music and artists. I need a psytrance campout like some people need to go to church in the morning or vote every fall.

raves have quite a different vibe to them, at least the ones I've gone to. It's not like it's bad or anything, just different….. ~~~difffeerrreennntttt~~~!

Actually it's funny because where I come from, we still call any big party a rave! even psytrance.

I just think that Raves lack the peaceful mood that psychedelic gatherings have. I have been going to Festivals for maybe 10 years now, and I ve never seen a single fight!
I don't know how to really explain it.. but you will always feel home at a psychedelic gathering.. you always feel welcomed and at ease! the good vibe breaks the boundaries between people!

Psy parties are pretty much the ultra most. Actually, there's usually a lot more going on at our outdoor events than there was at CS- due to the cold, but the vibe is still there. I can't even put into words how psy festivals make me feel, but it's something amazing and positive 🙂

The evolution of Psytrance, while absorbing many of the influences of other styles of electronic music, has definitely branched off from club music tree. For one thing, it started out on the sunny beaches of Goa, India, rather than seedy, dark warehouses. I think the vibe just came from there.

once upon a time raves were like that too – read up on spiral tribe or the free festival movement if you want to know more 🙂

some folks credit the rise of the rave scene in the 80s with a decline in football hooliganism in the uk…

I don't understand why they want to limit the tickets? If it's for the quality of the festival, I dont think a smaller crowd would make boom better next year!
Boom is like a big village festival!

well the way things are going, in most countries psychedelic festivals and parties are going down that road.

If you don't understand this – go and ask those who spent 24 hrs waiting in line to get inside in 2008 …

Or ask the person who DROVE from China to Portugal, waited in line for 24 hours and didn't get in 🙂

i think they went down that road a long time ago…there were psychedelic festivals taking place around the world quite a while before house, techno, or any of that fun stuff came into existence. a lot of the rave/festival scene sprung out of the uk/europe psychedelic festival scene – some groups that made the crossover are still around today (eat static, banco de gaia, etc), and the scene kind of goes through aboveground/underground cycles over time…more people come in, it blows up, cops crack down, it goes back underground, smaller parties, eventually cops have something else to worry about, then parties get bigger, more people come in, etc…
