Reviews

LA Times
"The scene, complete with drugs and its own culture, is blissfully examined in a documentary that speaks the language of its youthful generation."

filmcritic.com
"The main message of the film is that within the rave culture a constant shift of music styles empowers the individuals within to guide and help to create a unique culture as it evolves."

Mr. Showbiz
"Rave culture is getting a whole lot of attention this summer, much of it — if you ask the participants — the unwanted byproduct of news reports about drug use. Better Living Through Circuitry, Jon Reiss' compelling documentary on the people, music, and social constructs of dance culture, may perhaps provide some needed balance to the mass media attention "
