Profile
Born in 1978, I came in contact with electronic music through KLF and Twenty 4 Seven in the time, when MTV started in Germany.
Through Jean-Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfields Music I came to the "Thunderdome"-Series and the famous HR3 Clubnight radio broadcast by a friend of mine. My club life began in Kassel in 1994. I hold this up until ca. 1998-99 as well.
I was to be found annually at the Hessentag-Clubnight. In other aspects as far as parties are concerned I go out very rarely meanwhile. Minimal and boring/simply uninteresting music is only one reason of many... From the very beginning my motto was: "No drugs! Just music". I have kept this until today.
I never had pleasure in extremely commercial electronic music just as little as in the most freaky Hype-Minimal-Techno in "150th
special edition". Those who browse through my collection, might understand this quite well.
Music which I like should have a certain artistic value, a certain "half-value-time" and something like a "soul" and "warmth". If the music contains
this things it doesn't matter how fast or "hard" a title is. It should have just the "special something" that touches me.
Main-styles: Ambient/Downtempo, Deep / Progressive/Tech-House, Progressive/Melodic (mainly Classic-)Trance, Breakbeats, Oldskool Techno. I'm generally open-minded for every kind of good music, but Black Music and/or Rap/Hip Hop have never been a part of my musical socialisation. I just don't like it.
If you have records listed in my wantlist to offer , have questions about my collection or just want to get in contact, feel free to write me a mail :-)
I'm always looking forward in meeting people similiar-minded!

If you like the earlier MFS Records style (Humate, earlier Paul van Dyk, Effective Force, Cosmic Baby or Mystic Force) and melodic old school Trance Music from the early to mid 90s in general, you should give this CD definitively a try.
Highlights:... See full review |

The Psychomania remix is such a cheeky bold cover/remix of Datura - Yerba del Diablo it's an instant delight for every oldskool lover.
|
|
|
|
The more i listen the Original Mix i think the vocals are from Jan Johnston with Brian Transeau (BT - Remember).
|
|
Another Day is a cover from The Beat Club - Security.
|
|
Looking for Love is a uncredited cover from Everything But The Girl - I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love. Honor please to those who deserve.
|
|
Blu Savannah is based on Kate Bush - Under Ice. Simply magic how Dino Lenny combines atmosphere, vocals and melody and creates something new while staying close to the original. Great tune that passes the test of times!
|
|
Some trivia: Armin once told in an interview that " X Marks The Spot" is his kind of tribute to Speedy J - Symmetry, one of his personal favorite tracks. If you listen you know why... ;-)

Imagine being in a cave with crystals or diamonds everywhere around, reflecting pieces of light in every direction. Kaleidoscopic. You slowly turn around watching.
The original is the perfect soundtrack for this moment. Epic, in every way. |
|
some small trivia: Steve had the idea to "Gabriels Party" after being invited to a private party by Peter Gabriel.
|
|
The Pascal FEOS Remix is a real gem! If you listen closely it's a reminiscence to Hypnotist - The House is Mine.
Totally underrated work but a floor bomb. |
|
you are right of course. Thank you very much :)
|
|
the Bassline was also used in Jazzi P. - Feel The Rhythm (Club Mix)
|
|
is there any other one thinking the producer of this record is Dieter Meier from Yello and/or Hans Steingen (Boffin)?
|
|
Some little trivia why this record hasn't been bigger is the fact that the "Wishing on a Star..."-vocal sample from Rose Royce has never been cleared officially. A tragical fate for a real great and classic remix from Union Jack.

Now i finally know where Capella ripped off the melody from "Move on Baby". And Transa - Prophase.

Contains a sample is from Peter Gabriels recording "Of These Hope - Reprise" produced under license from Virgin Records Ltd.

"I will fight no more" samples the famous historical speech from Nez Perce Indian tribe-leader Chief Joseph from the same name movie from the year 1975.
The speaker is actor Ned Romero. "Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before I... See full review |

The vocals in "Prayer One" are sampled from Richard Burtons speech as the journalist Herbert George in "Dead London" from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds: "Now suddenly, there was a change..." and

„Leftism“ from Leftfield for me is one of the most impressing, pioneering and revolutionary albums ever in the scene. “Leftism” is one of those milestones that everybody interested in electronic music should have.
The music Paul Daley and Neil Barnes... See full review |

Platipus was one of those labels from the middle of the nineties until the end of the century you could buy records buy nearly blind from and you were as good as never really disappointed. Without a doubt this label has a special place in the heart...

The words at the end of "South" are spoken by Holly Hunter in the film "The Piano" by Jane Campion:
"At night! I think of my piano in its ocean grave, and sometimes of myself floating above it. Down there everything is so still and silent that it... See full review |

If you like earlier Parks & Wilson or Chris Cowie's Records on Bellboy you should give this record a try.
Its not the typical MFS-Trance-Sound as you would expect like Paul van Dyk, Cosmic Baby or Mijk van Dijk Projects, this more "advanced"... See full review |

I've found this record 13(!) years after its release and i'm excited that not more people know and like this record!
There must have been a tragical error in the marketing sector of the record company, way back when Torsten Fenslau played this tune... See full review |

For me music has something to do with emotions.
When i heard Arctic Wind (Feel Mix) for the first time in 1994/1995, it caught me that much, i was short before getting tears in my eyes. The melancholy was and still is that simple but fantastic. For... See full review |

With its pressure and its special dark atmosphere this rare record is an example of the visions, ideas and production skills of Torsten Fenslau.
The german vocals form the "Flatliners"-movie complete this record so perfectly, i will still listen to... See full review |

When i’ve heard this title in its original mix in the spring of 1995, i knew from the beginning, it was love at first sight. J
A shame i didn’t know at that moment the title and/or artist and so i had to wait another 1,5 years until DJ Dag played the... See full review |

I got attention to this cd from Nicks Global Underground (GU24), because this was partly also in a chillout-mood.
Bought it, listened to it and fallen in love with it! I've heard this CD the first time while driving by train from Kassel to... See full review |

"Virtual Atmosphere" is a decent cover of Humate - Love Stimulation. Very euphoric and uplifting, and if you ask me, it is much better than Kaycee's Remake of this Trance-Classic.

|
I bought this double-cd in autumn 1994 at the age of 16. In my musical evolution it was a mile-stone, because it features a lot of the greatest pieces of music ever released in their own genres.
I can really highly recommence this cds without any... See full review |

In the beginning of 1996 the vocal version could be often heard. Generally i dislike disco-id elements but tune with its warm bass-guitar creates a real good, trancy atmosphere without any attitude of "Kitsch".
Even more than 10 years after its... See full review |

In 1995 Marmion were asked by New Order to produce a remix for them. So Mijk and Marcos produced a remix of "The Perfect Kiss" for New Orders Remix Album, but New Order didn't like it and rejected to put it on their album.
But Mijk and Marcos... See full review |

Comparing to earlier Arpeggiators releases on Harthouse Records, this is quite weak for me.
I bought it for the Norman Remix which is the best version for me: a relaxed tech-house version but still with a kick to dance, like his early Terry Lee... See full review |

comparing to the remixes from 2001 of this 90s classic from Germany here you find a wider range of mixes: a close to the original mix from Mr. Cox, more (Hard) House-related mixes from Watchman and Timewriter and even dark and ravy style from Norman...

I've first heard this record when Marusha played it at Tunnel Rave '95 in Frankfurt/Main at the end of her set: The intro and the break of the Accelerated Mix is still mindblowing, even after more than 10 years of age! Played at 5am it still rocks the...
