I've got a the mixed version on mp3, infact its on my phone - winner. A mate of mine had the mixed CD set, I think he got it from Rotherham market for a quid fifty about 13 years ago.

Another compilation series from the UK that was great was the secret life of trance on Rising High Records.

We had some great trance being produced in the UK back then. The clubbing scene was amazing! The good old days...

Did anyone go to the universe tribal gathering events - they were incredible?

Any chance of an upload? I am getting my mate to send me a copy of his techno mix on the Fantazia label. I can do a trade if you liked this kind of stuff? It's a blend of techno/hard trance and goes towards his old skool hardcore style at the end? You know the stuff he used to play...

I didn't like the style he went after the FACT album - he was a rave legend and he kind of lost the plot after that in my opinion. Weird minimal housey/techno stuff.

Tris · January 21, 2010, 12:13:54 pm

Actually Dave - I have found a link where you can download all of his albums. Click here if anybody wants any Carl Cox..

Downloading FACT now

EDIT: they don't have the Fantazia techno mix I mentioned above..

dave · January 21, 2010, 12:19:13 pm

Good link, I'll rinse that one out later.

That fantazia thing sounds interesting.

The fantazia one is a bit of a weird one to be honest, lots of different styles from hard trance to techno to hardcore. Shouldn't be called techno mix really. Some great tunes and there is some incredible mixing too..I will upload it once I get it, I can't find it anywhere to download on the net. It's reminded me of a cool techno track on it, I'll post it in the techno thread actually.

If you do download anything, the password for the files is www.bajateloz.com. The fecking FACT one is mixed but then split into individual tracks, what's the fucking point? I've to got to piss around joining them all up now

dave · January 21, 2010, 01:31:05 pm

I can send you the full thing if you can't be fucked joining it up - PM me.

Good thread. Anyone for Tranceport?

dave · January 21, 2010, 02:50:04 pm

I love that gamemaster track. even though it sounds like she's saying "gay bastard".

Tris · January 21, 2010, 03:18:18 pm

I liked Matt Darey when he was under his Li Kwan guise, Point Zero was a quality track on Reactivate 10. Also on that album (the whole album is absolutely class, every single track was amazing) was this. My fave from it:

A bit more mellow - a haunting classic remix from later in the 90's:

Johnny Brown · January 21, 2010, 07:19:11 pm

If anyone wants a bunch of FREE vinyl, mostly trance, some great, some average from circa 97-99, let me know. I've no use for it.

Tris · January 21, 2010, 07:32:57 pm

I would love to take it off your hands, just sending you a pm.

butterworthtom · January 21, 2010, 10:20:32 pm

I'm liking the lost tribe - gamemaster

I have a platipus records CD kicking around somewhere, its mint.
Vibrasphere is good, I like archipelago but can't seem to find it on youtube.

butterworthtom · January 21, 2010, 10:31:13 pm

Tris - I think Paul van Dyk is a douche. Most of his new music is terrible. There is some good modern trance.
Download "Trance around the world" number 196

. It's immense. It was the above and beyond essential mix from 2004, and it won essential mix of the year. I have played it a number of times at parties and people love it.

Trance is shit

But like all genres if you dig deep enough (and in the case of trance: really fucking deep) you can find some gold. Chymera, from EIRE is doing OK. Bit on the gay side tho, but it's progressive music ffs - what did you expect?

I agree his later stuff is pants. I did quite like his Vorsprung Dyk Technik album. He has also had a few good sets, there was a good one at Amnesia.
Cheers for the link Tom - I do like Above and Beyond, they've done some great remixes. The only modern 'trance' I actually listen to regularly is funky vocal trance. Stuff like Randall Spaulding/Project C/Gabriel & Dresden etc.. You can download all their mixes for free at http://forums.generationtrance.com. I only tend to get the mixes which have a funky progressive feel though, not mainstream stuff that you hear in the charts.

I don't really like any of the modern hard trance either, it's just shite - no thought goes into the music composition. Just seems to be speeded up versions of regular tracks. That's why I shifted to hardstyle - stuff like Blutonium Boy/Donkey Rollers/DJ Luna etc... it has a better stomping beat and relates better to the older hard trance.

Did you go clubbing "Back int day" then?
Trance in night clubs now is generally gash. There is usually loads of wankers there and they play crap trance. Have been to a few good things though, Sander Van Doorn plays really good live sets, as do Menno De Jong and Above & Beyond.
Psytrance is always good for a night out though, usually loads of really friendly people, you can usually just chat to anyone and do pretty much whatever you want.

I have heard this tune quite alot recently, maybe not strictly trance it is still good:

My best years were at Uni in Cardiff around '94 when I ~~studied really hard~~ got trashed every night of the week and partied.
Music back then was in a different league. You are right - trance is shit now. It's just regurgitated old tunes or mindless crap that someone has spent an hour or 2 throwing together..

What about you - did you go clubbing back then?
