August 28th - Winchester: Vision They were some rumours circulated around the midlands that Chris Griffin - who has now resurfaced as another organisation "Vision" would accept the cancelled Pandemonium tickets. This unfounded rumour lead to thousands of disappointed Pandemonium ravers to turn up at Vision's party at Popham Airfield, near Winchester, Hampshire.
When the ravers got to Vision and found out the ticket redemption rumour wasn't exactly true, all hell broke loose... Ravers tore down the perimeter fences and thousands of angry ravers gatecrashed Vision's party... Unofficial sources at the end of the night said that there were around thirty to forty thousand people at Vision's party and the entertainments license was only meant to be for twenty thousand...
The security at the event also pulled off a scam where they take the complete ticket off the guest and didn't give the "retain by customer" part back to the guest. The security would then give the complete tickets back to the touts outside the party who would sell the tickets to ravers without tickets...
Another tragic note to add - Whilst staff where cleaning around the parties vicinity in the morning, Seventeen-year-old solider Robert Jeffrey was found dead near the festival site. A later investigation found out that Private Jeffrey of the The Royal Corps Of Signals took an ecstasy tablet to celebrate going on shore leave...

Autumn - National: Metalheads Clifford Joseph Price [ a.k.a. Goldie and The Ruffige Cru ] , DJ Freebase and Markus Rutherford shape the future with their seminal offering from the "Metalheads" - Terminator...
Since it's first play, the Terminator destroyed raves with it's haunting melody, repatriated samples and futuristic time-stretched beats. Many say that this track is way ahead of it's time and that's what making it a instant classic - terminator is the track everyone wants to hear. As the summer turns to autumn, the beats in raves will turn as dark as the nights sky, this is this the new sound they call "Darkcore" and the terminator is a product of these times.

Autumn - National: Snowballs Up and down the country, nightclubs are put on red alert as a toxic and deadly batch of Ecstasy tablets hits the ravescene. Nicknamed the "Snowball" users of the drug could suffer from blurred vision and can be left disorientated, incoherent, confused, tripped-out and severely paranoid during usage.
Allegedly mass produced at a government laboratory in the Eastern European country of Latvia [ in a bid to generate western currency for their struggling economy, allegedly ] when anaylsed, sources suggest that these tablets did not contain hardly any MDMA. They concluded that Snowballs contained double the normal dosage of MDMA's more hallucinogenic cousin, MDA.
