Wahey, a Spicelab thread

Anyways, I adore Oliver Lieb's works, and Spicelab is one of his more visionary projects, where he pretty much starts off on one sound or synth and just transforms the thoughts that come into his head into music. This is also the reason why most of the Spicelab tracks are so damn long. "Falling" off Another Day On Our Planet (which I just ordered on vinyl ) is like an 18 minute long journey through ambient and trancy soundscapes, where as tracks like Hyperspice are old school trance with a relatively high BPM rate. I personally love the sounds Oliver and the rest of the Harthouse crew stood for back then (check my custom text), so everyone should deffo check out the Spicelab stuff to hear how trance sounded (and should sound IMO) back then.

Zyon - No Fate
Sonic Infusion - Magnifica

Sand Leaper, that set looks pretty awesome indeed! And yes, Mirage - Airborn does indeed rock. I love the bass in the original, it really makes the track for me. At the moment I'm trying to track down some more Spicelab stuff, in particular those long soundscapey ones you mentioned. I'm curious to see what they sound like. And in regard to Harthouse, I do like a lot of their releases but generally I prefer the trancier ones like Airborn, Spectrum, etc.

oliver lieb is soooooo cool

i miss the old lieb

Oh those where the days!

Harthouse, Eye Q, MFS, Frankfurt Beat, Important, Choci's Chewns, Noom, early Bonzai, Overdrive, Hyper Hype, etc.

Great labels, great artists, great music and a great era in trance!
