"Artists came out of the woodwork," visual artist Garry Shepherd told the ABC's Sounds Like Techno online documentary in 2002. "Where else do you get to play with a ready-made crowd and a huge sound system and lasers at your disposal?"
In the same documentary, fellow artist Robin Cooke agreed. "These events were so big, eight to nine thousand people. This was too big for one or two artists to handle; it needed 20 artists to make the thing come together."
Melbourne journalist and former editor of Zebra in Inpress, Andrez Bergen, put it thus: "Global Village was one of the most important semi-institutions in Melbourne in the mid '90s especially. The crew behind Global Village, namely M.U.D., were very supportive of the more cutting edge live acts, for example Voiteck, Zen Paradox,Soulenoid,Guyver III, Sense and TR-Storm - who were then known as Void - and it gave these guys the opportunity to play before large and often more-into-it or dare I say 'enlightened' audiences. It also gave audiences the opportunity to see these guys because at more mainstream parties or clubs more mainstream music was played."
"The first thing I noticed upon arrival was the queue. Immense," wrote Lindy Tan in a review of Every Picture Tells A Story: Equinox in 1998 for Tranzfusion website. "It's true that Every Picture parties always seem to attract quite a younger crowd, but - as per usual – there was stunning decor, a great venue, and great local acts."
Also at Tranzfusion, Natural 1 wrote that "M.U.D. is an institution within Melbourne's dance community, establishing the first specifically designed rave venue, Global Village, which was home to more than 60 events over a 4 year period."

Famous quotes containing the word responses:
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living organism when it is subjected to stimuli too intense or too complicated to cope with. The cure for apathy is comprehension.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious—that is, a disease not understood—in an era in which medicine’s central premise is that all diseases can be cured.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
