Early nineties trance mixes and compilations

same ol sh1te

As the thread title says I'm looking for suggestions of good mixes and compilations, most of what turns up on a Google considers old school as early noughties, but I'm older than that My heavy clubbing days were 92-96 so looking to revive some memories and compare older trance to the modern trance etc my 16 yo daughter listens too I've found a couple of classics on YT, San Trancisco, Playing with the Voices, Elevator, Yeke Yeke etc

Also looking to source Eye Q records Behind the Eye vols 1 and 2 in mp3 if anyone feels like pointing me in the right direction through pm, had these years ago and want to add them to my collection once again

Ole Rodrigo

You won't go wrong with Carl Cox F.A.C.T. I always liked Reactivate 10 as well.

Mission into Drums is also an underrated gem from some of the guys in 90s german trance scene, although slightly mellower.

Scubadevils

Yeah loved that Mission into Drums, really nice... plus defo 2nd FACT and Reactivate 10 - loved that, played the mixed version non-stop (including while working in the Leisure Plex in 1994 - many a time Reactive 10 filled the building while on the nightshift!) and hunted down the vinyl edition finally some years ago... just when I'd reached a point where I was never likely to play it anywhere!

Worth checking out 'The Secret Life of Trance' series on Rising High - you'll get a good dose of early trance, techno etc there. I always like the 'Voyage into Trance' mix by Oakenfold too, it's on the goa buzz though so that may not fit the bill. There are lots more that I can't think of right now but I'll add more as I think of them.

Thanks folks, keep them coming. I love Oakenfolds voyage into trance, had it in the 90s on CD and picked it up again since.

Been listening to the platipus volumes over the last few days. They could be worth checking out. Quality

same ol sh1te

Seeing Reactivate 10 I definitely recognise it and nearly sure I had Fact

mordeith

I found FACT in casette down the back of some shelf the other day (the quality of tapes really was awful)

I always liked this compilation from Trancemaster (1994)

Right, managed to get my hands on Carl Cox FACT and the Platipus collection, still struggling with Reactivate 10 (although it's in overpriced hard copy on Amazon) and nowhere seems to have have the Eye Q volumes. Mission into drums I just found second hand on Amazon for $0.89 but the fcukers want $11.40 shipping. Can anyone help me out through pm

Scubadevils

You'll get most of them on Amazon marketplace, Reactivate 10 for example...

I frequently buy from the first seller in the above list 'zoverstocks' - very good to deal with, item ships and always with me within about a week.

Superstition would be a good label too for early 90s trance/techno - you'll get a nice selection on their 'Classics of Superstition' compilations.

A couple of albums that spring to mind...

Earth Nation - Terra Incognita
Resistance D - Ztringz of Life

same ol sh1te

Cheers, grabbed Earth Nation - Terra Incognita

Just bringing back some good memories listening to Fact, daughter loves this hard trance/techno btw, nothing like the cheesy Tiesto/Deadmau5 stuff she's used to

Yeah must give FACT a spin again soon. This thread has inspired me to dig into my old CDs and give a few a spin... listening to 'Mental Modulator' by Der Dritte Raum at the moment, another quality album - been ages actually since I listened to any of this.

This is nice too, a bit more chilled at times...

And this...

http://www.discogs.com/Influx-Unique/master/30799

Maybe some earlier Eat Static too...

The Infinity Project - Feeling Weird

Had this on tape was one of the first sets like it from a rave pack I can remember.

Still rinse it a good bit now

Mark Eg & ribbz was the side b ;-)

Nice one, Some artists I already have in my collection are Man with no name, Cygnus X and Hallucinogen so everything already posted is on the right track

Scubadevils

Yeah Hallucinogen is great - love his album 'Twisted'. Actually on a lighter note, the remix 'In Dub' of this album is quality too by OTT...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dub-Mixed-Ott-Hallucinogen/dp/B00006OA3D/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1403965135&sr=1-1&keywords=hallucinogen+in+dub

Then of course there are all the other projects that Posford (Hallucinogen) is involved in, but they'd be for another thread!

Reactivate 10 still puts shivers through me - it really was a special mix!

Scubadevils

I actually genuinely find it difficult to listen to - so hard to believe the amount of years that have passed since. It really does transport me right back and almost has me in tears!

Ole Rodrigo

Exactly - went for ages without hearing it and then did recently, so when I seen the thread I though oh yeah, got to mention reactivate 10. Cracker of a mix !

Heres another forgotten nugget. Sounded excellent up loud.

Wow, that's one of the eye q ones I'm seeking.

Just forked out a tenner on Amazon for Reactivate 10, still can't find Behind the Eye, someone must have mp3's, it wouldn't be piracy I had it before

Having a nostalgic Sunday morn listening to Playipus Records Vol 1, these classics already, I'll add more as they come

Got my hands on Behind the Eye Vol 1, course the first is this absolute classic

That's odd, I only posted that mix of Two Full Moons and a Trout on Facebook yesterday while having an early 90s trance session!

Love this mix too....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hy9Ko_xiIw

This track is awesome except for that annoying beeping sound @ 2:15, why did they bother!

I think there should only be one rule for this thread...

Anyone caught posting a track with a Roland JP 8000 supersaw lead gets an instaban!

Its the bastard sound that killed trance IMO,
Early Trance was hypnotic like the name implies, the name lost all meaning after everyone jumped on the supersaw bandwagon.

Have built up a decent trance collection. Still can't locate Behind the Eye Vol 2 but got Eye Q Classics volumes 1 and 2 which has lots of what I'm looking for
