Woot! Going to see Altern8 at the Gatecrasher festival. But yeah, I heard about it twice, once someone told me it had happened and Altern8 got pissed off by it and the other time, the same thing except Altern8 weren't bothered by it, who knows.

Mark Archer (mrnex) mentions it here: -

"I recall something about "dodgy experience" t-shirts"

mrnex "The dodgy t shirt was made for and used in the video for Brutal-8-e"

maybe he's a bit like liam and will say one thing to one person and another to someone else... here's straight from my interview with him...

Me - I've once heard of Altern 8 being defined as a competition with Prodigy. Surely you've seen their Out of Space video in which people say they take the piss with your outfits, and in recent years Liam Howlett himself has stated he feels that the rave scene deserved to die. Many fan as well as Mixmag said that he killed the rave in fact. What did you make of their supposed stab at you back then, and what do you make of his claim that the rave scene deserved to die?

Mark - I don't think they were taking the piss out of us at all. I think they were portaying the way the scene was at the time, and there were a fair few people who used to wear those white suits to raves just like there were loads who wore floppy hats in 89' . It's just a snapshot in time really, if someone did a video in '88 it would have smiley t-shirts in, but people took it that Prodigy were knocking us. If they were then thats up to them. As for Liam's opinions, everyones entitled to there own opinion and if he feels it should have died then fair do's, he seems to want to distance himself from what he was part of. To think he killed rave is just copying what Mixmag wrote, which was utter rubbish. The scene split as peoples tastes got narrower and narrower and the styles changed, that's all.

Even if Liam and co were taking the piss, I'm sure Mark doesn't care that much any more over this. It was over 15 years ago after all.

Onto much more important things, can you get me his autograph on a dust mask??
j/k.. :wink:

They were definately taking the piss out of altern8! The vics vapour rub in keith's mask was a reference to altern8 saying that you could heighten the effects of ecstasy by sniffing vics!! There were a lot of wasted, but nasally clear, ravers back in the day. :-D
