Remembering: 1999

I was just digging through some old CD's from when I had to free up room on an old computer, thus forcing me to burn all my mp3's...

All I can say is 1999 was the year for Trance. For all you newbies who missed it you can still re-live it by downloading the sets.

Noone can ever top Paul Oakenfold when he was at his peak. Listen to any of his essential mix world tours. Any of them. Space in Ibiza, Havana, Miami, Liverpool is amazing!!!
Then listen to his Resident : 2 years at Cream CD set. SO damn good.

Youll notice that a lot of the songs Oakie plays in 98/99 are brought back by Tiesto in 2000/01. And there are a ton.
That is why Tiesto is # 2 on my list of all time. I just listened to Hyperstate 99, Innercity 99, and of course Energy 2000. These sets from 99 are the best music ever played in the history of mankind.

I hope you agree, but if not, go take a listen and see for yourself. All Pure Trance, Real Trance, Original Trance, Amazing Trance.

Thats how it was , and thats how it should still be!

Remember

That's the only point that I have to disagree with... it was great back then, but now those tunes just don't cut it anymore, the scene and the music has evolved into something different, and we should move ahead with it too! Don't wanna get stuck in the past for too long...

i gotta agree with both of you guys .. 99 was definately the golden year for trance and everything culminated up to the peak at the end of 99 and on through 2000 with Tiesto's groundbreaking sounds ..


but yes at the same time nothing lasts forever.. we all have to move on. the music that has evolved today probably won't be around in the next couple of years either but instead ever changing into something new ..

99 does bring back memories tho and a shed of tears .. aww..

Oakies Essential Mixes are and forever will be some of the best sets of all time.

China and Havana were always my two favs.

I remember 'getting' electronic music about half way through the first Oakenfold Best of Cream cd. The mixing, the track selection, it all came together for me right there. Which is still much later in the game than most of you guys. Good thread.

yes these were the days

but I liked the old school trance as well

97 rocks me

Anyone know where I can acquire Oakenfold's premium sets you guys are talking about??

Hmm, i remember going to to see PvD in Montreal and not knowing who he was!
Oh, yeah the "Angel" song guy. Cool.

YES!

UWO Tranceaddict is right IMO as well, I feel all the Trance now a days sounds the same. Binary Finary, Cafe Del Mar (original), Airwave, were all classics that I can still put on today. Oaky's Live from Space @ Ibiza
The year of trance for me as well.......

1999 had some good Techno and Rave. Some of which can never be touched again.

Remember

These are 3 of my fav's, but there is like 6 more.....
look at some of the fucking tracks that you thought just came out in last year or two!!!!
Early 99 is like 4 years ago, Take Me Back.

Can I borrow your time machine? I tried to make my own but I ran out of pipecleaners.

I'd like to go back in time to when I was 11, and ask for decks for my b-day. I'd also like to go back in time, and invent toilet paper, and be recognized as the genius that I like to pretend I am.

sooper, if it's any consolation, i already recognize you as a genious. in the mad-scientist-gone-even-madder-than-before,-bridging-on-being-gay-but-not-in-the-homosexual-way-but-not-crossing-it way. i also need my pipecleaners back if you can't finish your time machine. i have a science fair project due at five and those pipecleaners are essential to it. also, bring hal and joanne too, i could use them...

p.s. live @ the rojam, shanghai, china ownz me.

Thanks for the kind words! I printed your reply - its going on my fridge.

How's the science project coming along?
If your stuck for ideas, try "FARTS: Why we get such a kick out of the smell of our own, and just midly amused by the smell of others."

I believe the last time I was in your company, your were quite amused at my smell, and by amused I mean passed out.

Hey, it was tuna caserole for dinner what ya want me to do.

UWO - I remember man, I remember. Too bad I never went to the warehouses, those sounded like fun. Get your ass in this weekend and come see Ornadel. MBA Shmenba.

'He's all I want' ruins this set a little bit but he makes it up with a BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT journey he takes us on with the Ibiza set. His masterpiece from Home @ space make my utter love for this music re-emerge every time I hear this absolutely mind-boggling WORK OF GENIUS!

True, "all i want" is a terrible song....
but playing it 3 years before 103.5 got their hands on it is pretty pimp.

i love that Radiohead- Street Spirit remix(fade out) so good
and jan johnston, jesus, even gooder

Oakenfold at 99
Tiesto at 2000


both were untouchable ... Those were the yrs of trance !!!
