In the early 90s, many raves continued in spite of illegality, while legal dance gatherings were also occurring, and dance music saw more exposure at rock festivals in Glastonbury and Reading. The tension caused by the police and increasingly hardcore music caused many fans to return to the clubs, where rave music had given way to progressive house, a return to the original sounds of house music. Other clubs emerged to play the ever-splintering genres associated with the house and rave scene, including hardcore techno, downtempo and trance. ...

Sistrum (Latin) [from Greek seistron from seiein to shake]

The instrument used by the ancient Egyptians in the worship of Isis; a metallic oval hoop with a handle, and loose metal rods, running through holes in the sides of the metal and across the loop. This was held in the hand and shaken, its real purpose being, by means of its combination of metals, to produce magnetic currents and sounds. It is used to this day in Christian Abyssinia "to drive away devils"; likewise by the American Indians in their ceremonial dances.
