REMEMBERING: 2 Unlimited
Well, it was tight race, but 2 Unlimited won by a nose 
. So without further ado:
REMEMBERING 2 UNLIMITED
*Sigh* Ultimately an act that should never have broken up 
. Anita Doth and Ray Slijngaard formed one of the most revolutionary dance/techno acts of all time. Hitting us with such songs as No Limit, Get ready for this, Twilight Zone, Faces, and The Real Thing. Starting back in 1991 till their tragic breakup in 1997. I still recall when Ray came to EC for their last performance but with some other bitch and not anita that was lipsynching to their old hits.
I heard that there was constant fighting between Ray and Anita during 2 unlimited's demise in 97. Some even physical (so I read in BRAVO back in the day, for all u Euros).
In 1998 the producers of 2 Unlimited decided to replace Anita andray with the 2 bitches pictured below (yeeeech!) and obviously flopped soon after that.
I stillwish that these 2 would coem to turns and do a new trance Album of some sort. But Ray producing RnB and hip hop now and Anita having dissapeared off the face of the earth (to my knowledge) we will never see that.
Share your memories please, these guys were great.
Now, did anyone else here EVER had a huge crush on Anita? I did. Back when I was 11 lol. Wonder what she looks like now

hehehehe 2 unlimeted move it move it
i dont even remember if that was the way they said it but anyways i loved 2 unlimited back in the days
i remember the first time i heard a song from them i flipped out and i started a fight with the guy that sold the tapes cauz he didnt have it i was what 10 or something
i even had a fight with my mom cauz wen i found the tape she wouldnt give me the money to buy iy hehehe i even cried that day so at the end she gave me the money and i was fuckin happy i kept on playing the tape in an old walkman that my father had ....old times...
They both disappeared from the face of the earth.
Anita ? ? ?
Ray has a small record label I believe (for new talent)
The very first dance track I ever heard was 2 Unlimited - Tribal Dance. I still remember it, as if it was yesterday - we have just moved to Israel from Russia(1993), purchased a TV set, got our cable television. I was browsing through the channels and eventually stumbled upon MTV(there was no MTV back in Russia, but I heard about it). Within an hour of watching it, I hear 2 Unlimited - Tribal Dance, and immediately fall in love it.
I guess that's how my love for dance music began, which eventually led me to become a Trance fan.
"No No No No No No No No No No No No There is no Limits"
Very good group! I definitely got hook on dance music my them. Durafei and I have the same music roots. Yey!
The best group ever!!!!!
This is the reason why I got into dance and techno and now trance and progressive as well.
I totally love all their music, you have no idea how much I enjoy listening to their songs. Once in a while I'll hear one of their songs and I'll jump up and down singing and dancing my heart out....I totally love them and I still do.
Too bad they had to break up---but they are still remembered by the people like me who started loving this music because of their beats and energy.

haha, i remember when i got my first 2 unlimited tape...
then me and my mom went into some lighting store to buy lights, and i was listening to my walkman dancing around and imagined them playing there. it woulda been an awesome place for a music video.
fav song: workaholic. i'm a sucker for the swears 
hehe would you believe me if i tell you that i've been to their last concert ? yes ladies and gentlemen THEIR LAST CONCERT EVER where Ray & Anita performed for the last time together ! it was in Casablanca-Morocco during the month of may 1995 if i'm correct i went there with my brother and all our friends , i even remember they bringed some Dutch local talents : a black DJ from Surinam probably and a "spice girls" type band with 4 blondies 
they played all their hits AND IT WAS PLAYBACK OF COURSE but still we all had a great time because we never get concerts with foreign artists.
and i don't need to tell u that i've been listening to all their albums and i bought the best-off one etc ...
They're alright!
Dr. Alban and 2 Unlimited were the 2 very first tapes that I ever bought back in 1993, and the �no limits� masterwork can be still found in my car almost a decade later. There�s a number of songs on that tape that are really good so I can�t particularly think of a favorite as they churned out anthem after anthem. They can certainly be blamed for the genesis of the trance addiction.
and yes I had a bit of a crush on Anita as well back in the day 
Am I the only one here who saw them perform at Nitrous? I still have the poster of the checkerboard and the dalmation... I think it was Nirous 012, but its possible it was 013...
