Really sad staff.
I was a bit young for when they started but still love their first album. There was a massive rave culture where I grew up https://britishculturearchive.co.uk/2017/12/21/boomtown-the-blackburn-warehouse-parties-1989-1990/ I'm half gutted I was too young for it and half relieved as I would have seriously altered my mind!
Had some serious times to Out of Space at the end of nights as a student (and beyond). Feels a bit mad how long ago it was.
