-- Classic Ibiza - Xtravaganza The Definitive Collection

Classic Ibiza - Xtravaganza The Definitive Collection

This nice non-mixed double CD got released this week (at least here in Scandinavia) and has some selected tunes from Xtravaganza's past hits and also more recent updates of them. It's compiled by Xtravaganza's owner, Alex Gold and sure is a great deal for those who don't have these gems yet.

All'n'all a great compilation, except for the bunch of cruelly edited tracks on CD2.. Alex should have made a 3CD instead of 2.. Thank God they didn't edit Frattboy on CD1, it's my fav of the Afterburn tunes!!

9/10 for CD1
8/10 for CD2 as for the tracks, 5/10 for the fuukin editing!!!
Hmm.. i could give it a 8/10 as a whole even if i already had most tunes on it.. but i just wanted the few exclusive tunes on it

Agnelli & Nelson - Singing For The Future/Slide...

I NEED THESE hehehe...
Rhythm of life - you put me in heaven with your touch (alex gold vs lange mix)<---is this a new mix...i mean you know different from the older lange mix??

looks good Grimmy.

btw, i didn't know alex gold was the owner of xtravaganza

Damn,this out in Scandinavia already?I'll have to buy this for sure.

Alex Gold vs. Lange Remix is more like Alex's rework of the older Lange Remix. Slight changes and additions here and there..

This is of course out in the UK, Germany and most parts of Europe too, as Xtravaganza is UK based label. Dunno where else it has come out but the US will get this a bit later i think.

Those weren't Xtravaganza releases.. the album consists ONLY tracks released on Xtravaganza recordings.

There is also a 12" sampler for this:

A1: Agnelli & Nelson - Everyday 2002 (Alex Gold Mix)
A2: Afterburn - North Pole
AA1: Chicane - Don't Give Up (Disco Citizens vs Tomski Mix)
AA2: Agnelli & Nelson - Hudson Street (Album Mix)

Oh, tnx for the info. Hmm.. i wonder why they decided to put those mixes on the 12".. none of them isn't anything too special or hard to find on a bunch of releases. I would've expected some more creative tracklist for the sampler.

And why the F**K do they always need to play around with the mixes of Chicane's Don't Give Up or Saltwater between the 12" and CD releases? I hope the DC vs. Tomski here is the full length version (9:48), not the Edit (7:29) that's on some of the 12" releases and on all CD releases.

Alex Gold is a bloody idiot...he was the main reason why the legendery song Salt Tank Vs Chicane - Leaving Town never got released

I thought that Afterburn - Frattyboy, and North Pole were the same songs, just different names.

The one I am thinking of was the starting song on Magik 6 (I think). GrimReaper, can you clear things up for me?

They sure are 2 different tracks. There's more than 1 track mislabeled on Magik 6.. and one of them is Frattyboy, which actually is called Afterburn - Northpole.

Afterburn - Northpole (10:41)
Afterburn - Frattboy/Frattyboy (9:53) >> labeling differs a bit depending on the release


And Psygnosis, yep, i knew Alex was the person responsible for not releasing the Leaving Town mixes.. That sucks soo much. But there still is a little chance, a very small one but still, to get them released some day. Maybe on some other label...

this release looks pretty good actually, but it could be a lot better though! i'm going to have to think about getting this one!

I agree, it could've been better. The tracklisting is OK but it could have been more original, especially on CD2.

CD1 is great as it is IMO, varying from ambient through trance all the way to groovy house and ending with Sunset On Ibiza. CD2 is too dull with many tunes from Agnelli & Nelson. IMO the selected tracks are the most boring ones on their artist album. They could have forgotten Everyday 2002 off the disc, and that way Northpole and Destination Sunshine could've been full length. Actually i would've changed alot of tunes or mixes there.. something like this would be my choice:

CD1
01. Chicane - Sunstroke (White Mix) 6:40
02. Agnelli & Nelson - Singing For The Future (Album Mix) 4:14
03. Chicane - No Ordinary Morning (Original Album Mix) 5:08
04. Agnelli & Nelson - Everyday 2002 (Coast 2 Coast Chillout Remix) 5:28
05. Ascension - For A Lifetime (Lustral Sunset Mix) 4:55
06. Liquid - Orlando Dawn (Agnelli & Nelson Saturday Night Special Mix) 8:36
07. Chicane feat. Salt Tank - Leaving Town (Salt Tank's 5am Mix) 9:55 >> DAMN! Why didn't you release the remixes of Leaving Town, Alex!!??
08. Afterburn - Frattboy 9:52
09. Disco Citizens - Footprint (Sonic Original Mix) 7:56
10. Airscape - Pacific Melody (Original 12" Mix) 7:35
11. Three Drives - Sunset On Ibiza (Above & Beyond Remix) 7:59

CD2
01. Alex Gold - LA Today (Album Mix) 5:54
02. Chicane feat. Bryan Adams - Don't Give Up (Tomski vs. Disco Citizens Instrumental)
03. Airscape - L'Esperanza (Armin van Buuren's Rising Star Remix) 11:16
04. Chicane feat. Maire Brennan - Saltwater (Tomski vs. Disco Citizens Remix) 9:10
05. Mirco de Govia - Epic Monolith (Original 12" Mix) 8:55
06. Chicane - Sunstroke (DJ Quicksilver Remix) 7:05
07. Agnelli & Nelson - Everyday (Lange Instrumental) 8:10
08. Chicane feat. Salt Tank - Leaving Town (Mea Culpa Remix) 7:58 >> DAMN! Why didn't you release the remixes of Leaving Town, Alex!!??
09. Afterburn - Northpole 10:40

We should all go spin kick Alex Gold and demand a release of Leaving Town....but i don't get it, if Alex won't release it, why doesnt Salt Tank just take it to another label?

This cd is definitly worth buying!
Class tracks on there!

CD arrived today finally

Have to agree with grim, the tracklist could of, and should have been so much better, ie including some of the rarer remixes of Chicane tracks, but still it looks very good. Havent got a chance to fully listen to it yet but for some reason I thought the tracks where mixed!? Oh and very glad to see the C2C mix of Everyday on there, if its the same as the track from Deeper Shades of Euphoria its amazing

Would love to hear this!

Is this CD for sale anywhere??
