Various - Trance Atlantic Highways - ESP Volume 4 - 29-Feb-08 04:56 PM
This is definitely one of my favorite trance-cds of alltime. ESP Records belongs to one of my favorite recordlabels from the past, because theyve released a high amount of quality releases back in those days. You can hear this quality back on this cd. Its a real shame that some of the tracks never made it (to be released) on vinyl like The Nighttripper - Keep On Rising track. A powerfull yet relaxing track to listen to and to me one of the best tracks Orlando Voorn ever made. Unfortunately the label defunct eventually and so did good trance music in my opinion.

If youre talking about oldschool rave cds, this is one of those which has got to be mentioned. It was sold in a time when there wasnt an oldschool revival yet, because people hardly talked about oldschool (I even think nobody talked about oldschool in 1994).
Because not everyone was interested in oldschool stuff from the early days in those days, not many of these cds were sold (or pressed). I hardly saw one when it came out. My own recordstore sold two of this one and that was it. I was one of those lucky ones who could buy this cd.
Both cds include all the big rave classics which you want on a cd like this. From dark spooky tranceanthems to techno crowd teasers to housy dancefloorfillers. Theyre all there.
Dano and Jeroen did a great thing when it comes down to the mixing part (allthough I think there were made some edits in the studio). The drive on these two cds goes on and on and on, which make it feels like youre at a big rave party from the past.
This one is worth hunting down allthough its rare and can reach prices up to 50 euros (about 70 dollars). A true oldschool collection will never be complete without it.

Although this record is all about the remake of Gerds "Vorpal Blade" there is also a great remake on the flipside of the record. It kinda samples an old track from Larry Heard called "Stars" produced under his Mr. Fingers alterego in 1988. Just Imagine "Stars" a bit faster with a big pumpin rhythm. An excellent track to use in uplifting techno sets.

When hardcore music was losing its popularity in the late 90s and a new style of hardcore music was slowly introduced to the public it didnt get a lot of attention. This label also had that problem. Not many records were sold when producers started releasing records on this label. Because most of them stayed for sale for months in the shops, you could find them in the bargain bins in some shops.
I had some of these records and I had to sell them for only 3 up to 10 guilders (about 1.70 up to 6 dollars) if I wanted to get rid of them. You could still even get some of these records around the end of 2001 / beginning of 2002 like Endymion - Demonsworld completely new at online shops like the one from Rige Entertainment.
Then around the end of 2002 when hardcore music became more and more popular the records dissapeared from all these shops and the prices were getting higher and higher.
Men From Mars, The* - Live From Mars E.P. - 17-Mar-07 09:55 PM
This has got to be one of the best records which Dave Lee has produced, beside of the fact he made this record with Andrew Livingstone. One the a-side we here the famous discogroovesounds which Dave has used for many of his other productions. So I wasnt suprised that he was part of the team which made these songs, until I heard the b-side. I was totally amazed when I heard those tracks. I have heard a lot of stuff from him, but I hardly heard such deep tracks before which were produced by him. Because I heard some deep tracks from Andrew before (for example: his Lifeforce records) it could be that Andrew did most of the work for the b-side, but this is only a speculation.
My favorite track is Tribes Of Mars. This one goes very deep and has a great tribalistic beat. I cant imagine it was produced in 1995. It sounds so fresh, that it could have been released on the Large label (for example) just some months ago.
