Classic early 90s prog?

Can anyone recommend me some tracks/sets/artists or anything that's like the 3rd cd (88-96 mix) of GU:10? I've had it for years and only ever listened to CDs 1 and 2 but it's brilliant!

Haven't heard that GU disc, but since early prog. house is one of my favourite subgenres of EDM I can recommend you some awesome stuff. You're probably familiar with Leftfield, Spooky, Fluke, Underworld and Sasha's early stuff, so here something equally good, but not that often mentioned:

tracks:
Ready For Dead - Ready For Dead
Atlas - Compass Error (North)
Secret Life - She Holds The Key (H.A.L.F. I'm Believer Mix)
Well Hung Parliament - We Can Be (S1000 Mix)
Voices Of 6th Avenue - Call Him Up (Slam Mix)
Dr. Atomic - Schudelfloss (High On Hedonism Mix)
Quivver - Twist & Shout (Original Vocal Mix)
Solar Plexus - Solar Plexus
Gypsy - I Trance You
Soundscape - Do They Mean Us? (Original)
PKA - Let Me Hear You Say Yeah (Phil Kelsey's '93 Remix)
Brothers Love Dubs - The Mighty Ming! (Brothers In Rhythm Club Mix)
The Aloof - On A Mission (Stanley Mix)
Boomshanka - Do You Have The Power? (This Side Mix)
All Boxed In - ...Happen (Tolley's Stressed Mix)

albums:
React 2 Rhythm - Whatever You Dream
Supereal - Elixir
Gypsy - Soundtracks
Havana - Condensed

compilations:
Dub House Disco series
DJ Culture series
House Of Limbo series

labels:
Guerilla
Limbo
Cowboy
Stress
Hard Hands

Listen to any Sasha/Digweed set from 1993-1995, then you're set.

Everybody forgets about THE DRUM CLUB!


The Drum Club- "U Make Me Feel So Good (deep'n'hard mix)" Guerilla, 1992.

Also the amazing album


The Drum Club- "Everything is Now"

and ofcourse early Salt Tank.


By the way, great catalogue Sljiva.

YES. I'm hoping to see 808 state at Gatecrasher summersoundsytem in the summer, there's a whole tent devoted to 20 years of acid house

Well I know this track (and love it), but it's definitely not prog. house. Neither is Pacific State

I thought you were a "true fan" of early prog stuff? Even though you made a thread about 4 months ago confessing you were just getting into prog and asking for recommendations.

The dude is looking for early 90's prog. house (at least that's what it says in the title) and you recommended him detroit techno. The fact that you can't see the difference between them doesn't mean the difference doesn't exist.

Which track are we talking about? React 2 Rhythm- "Intoxication" is a prog-house track. Great track by the way!

Of course he's not, the guy chats bollocks non-stop. Someone should buy him an extra pair of lips so he can talk out of his arse a little bit easier. He's an absolute fucking cheb end.

I'm interested in hearing how the daft bastard explained both his error and his transition from "prog newbie" to "ultimate prog master" in such a short period. Should be fun.

This was like a question and a response all rolled into one.

Sensuround - Blind Faith (Aloof Mix) [1992]

Not only do you talk absolute shite but you articulate it like a juvenile little retard to boot.

Drum Club - Sound System (Underworld Mix)

First thing that popped into my head.

Here it is:


DAMN! I like this track. The bassline is a grooooover, and the atmosphere rocks. I really missed out on trance getting into it in the year 2001. So much variation... the leads shift and change, the ambience is a thrill to analyze, and the old-school production sound is simply classic.

I was talking about the second track he recommended: Psyance - Gates Of Heaven. Intoxication is a prog. house track, and a great one indeed

I have posted some of these tunes at another thread and i thought it would be wise to post them here as well, together with some other related tracks. Hope you like them!

Man, I didn't know of that Leftfield tune- "Not Forgotten". This is really awesome, i love the deeeeep moving bass and the warm strings-excellent! X-Press 2, Taiko and Lat Rhythm are all excellent. I think i have heard "last rhythm" before but i can't remember where. Oh and Havana- "ethnic prayer" is a classic anthem.

So is this "Dirty" track an instrumental remix of Underworld's "dirty epic"? I have the track with vocals in "Dubnobasswithmyheadman", although this instrumental version is much more hypnotic with the ever-spiraling sequenced line...


Excellent classics, keep-up the good tunage coming!

Not Forgotten was the very first progressive house record. It brought Barnes and Daley together to form Leftfield and set the stylistic blueprint for their early work. Without it, this thread wouldn't exist. Quite simply, one of the most important electronic records ever.

No. It was originally released as Dirty under the Lemon Interupt name. Hyde and Smith had stopped recording as Underworld (listen to their early releases and you'll understand why) when Emerson joined and went off on a new, house direction. They also remixed as Steppin Razor. However, they released Mmm... Skyscraper as Underworld and the track was a hit, so they resurrected the Underworld name and decided to release everything under that one moniker. Dirty re-emerged as Dirty Epic, which was altered slightly and given vocals to fit the Underworld style more closely.

Alright, now i get it with the "Epic" track. I like how they call current Kompakt stuff as "minimal", but if you listen to those early underworld records such as "mmm...skycraper i love you" (or other early prog-house records like Spooky stuff )they were minimalistic to the extreme. I mean, for the most part "mmm...skycraper..."
was comprised of a basic drum-loop repeating for 10+ minutes or something...

Indeed. And don't forget Dirty Guitar which again is a slightly altered version and features different vocals than Dirty Epic. Kinda stupid many of the later reissues have had the tracks retitled as Dirty Epic (Mix) when "Epic" was actually the last of the versions made, almost a year later than the other two. Overall the Dirty versions are over 15 years old already but still sound so damn amazing.

Indeed, they sound amazing after all these years. I wander if anyone will listen to current pryda tunes in 15 years time...(well, you never know)
