Nasenbluten
In 1996 Nasenbluten made the limited edition single "Anna Wood" on vinyl
through the Dead Girl label, as a commentary on the moral panic in the
press surrounding rave parties after the death of Anna Wood. Her ecstacy
related death brought about a hardline approach to rave and dance
parties in Australia. The record was never commercially available and
was only distributed by the band itself, featuring a picture of the girl
with the phrase "I'm having the time of my life" and a picture of Dutch
DJ Paul Elstak on the B side with the words "I wanna see the rainbow
high in the sky", a reference to the happy hardcore scene and it's links
to ecstacy.
Anna Wood is the Sydney teenager who died while
under the influence of the 'designer' drug ecstasy at an all-night rave
party. The recent coroner's enquiry determined that the specific cause
of death was from the intake of too much water, brought on by ecstasy.
Anna's Story is a non-sensationalised account of teenage drug usage, and
strips away the transparent glamour of rave/ecstasy parties.
