3/4. The summer of 1989 saw a new type of youth rebellion transform the cultural landscape, as thousands of young people danced at illegal acid house parties in fields and aircraft hangars. Dubbed the "second summer of love" - not least because of the effects of euphoric new drug ecstasy - it was a benign form of revolution. But lurid tabloid headlines, cat-and-mouse games with the police, and a gangster element eventually turned the dream sour. Featuring interviews with rave promoters, newspaper editors, and the bands who made it big on the back of rave culture.
