The track No Way Back was released 32 years ago -- basically one and a half human generations and many more musical generations ago. It was part of a sonic breakthrough that seemed raw and unlimited and unfinished at the time . . . and still does. And so does the party that took the name and the inspiration . . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wf4uHyfW5g I wasn't at the original bank blizzard party but have been at all the ones during the festival. Many many great moments: Carlos Souffront gave me a ride to Bo-House (Bohemian National Home) one year and I am quite sure neither of us remember very much about that night . . . but it was fantastic . . . more I do remember -- Tin Man doing his live 303 set last year . . . all the great acid house-sourced and inspired sets -- Servito and Plaslaiko and BMG with his laptop mashups . . . but most of all the impromptu 2x2 set Carlos and Patrick Russell did at 5 am at 1515 Broadway that was likely the most off-the- chain hour and a half I will ever experience . . . Not a fan of the Tangent, but the party has gotten so big and popular it has to be somewhere with a lot of square footage. There's no way to set a long term plan for something like this (speaking as a founding member of an SF-based party collective that has been going since 1994), so when it's there you go for it. fh
