Profile: Buying vinyl since '93 on and off. Hooked on early 90s trance, but sadly, it was all over by '95/'96 when the sound took a turn for the worst.

These days I'm partial to old skool tech / house / trance drum 'n' bass acid house chicago and east coast usa house hard tech schranz 80s stuff no minimal thanks but i the funky beats and grooves acidic lines bleeps ecstatic sounds sweet piano and strings the machine breaks hip hop deep and dark anything that makes me move and shakes and soothes my soul NEVER STOP DANCING...

Spend much time searching for the older sound, my appreciation for the old skool grows daily.

My first vinyl purchase was Tempestada by Illuminatae in '93, which was also my first vinyl that got pinched (bastards you'll get yours!).

Holden* - The Idiots Are Winning - 24-Jan-07 11:19 AM
Given the brilliance in some of his remixes, I am more than just a little disappointed by this album. Although the sound is fresh and experimental, some of the tracks are less like music and more like a collection of noises that are frequently agitating; other tracks seem simply uninspired. This album is discordant symmetry at its finest. Corduroy is this album’s saving grace.

John Digweed - Renaissance - The Mix Collection Part 2 - 11-May-06 05:05 AM
This compilation has not aged over time; the music is still as fresh today as it was when released....it is one of the few compilations that i still get loads of pleasure from, and it probably signals the beginnings of the progressive house era, with tastes of trance throughout...The only drawback is that it ends with the commerical house tune Robert Miles' Children, aside from this, the mixing and tunes frequently border on the orgasmic...this is a must have for anyone's progressive house CD collection!
