Tastes are different.. don't forget that..

and what's so bad about Ratty - Sunrise?

Ratty - Sunrise
Just don't like it.

Respects on getting the decks, my suggestion is to do what I do:

a) Find a record store which carries a decent selection, shop there on a regular basis, become friends with the people who work there and they will give you stuff either before it gets put out or will give you info on things that are coming.

b) Shop online. I don't know how old you are, but I'm 18 and just picked up my credit card application today. I'm only using it to pay the cell phone bill and purchase online. Not only will I Get new tracks at cheaper prices, it helps me build a credit rating too .
There are alot of decent places to buy, trust me.

c) Go to EVERY record store in your city maybe once a month. Spend a whole day just digging through all the crates...you never know what kind of jems you will find!!! I dug up an old copy of future breeze - smile (with the van bellen mix) and I found SPX - straight to the point as well. The tracks were old but I spent 2 hours looking. I even snagged the "Troy" white label with the sinead o'connor vocals. Every store has its own gems.

Also, my recommendation is to find and play the trakcs you like, but make sure there is enough of a market for them. Your suggesting some decent trance and commercial harder house tracks.

A few of those tracks are old or crap (in my opinion) but there are some decent ones. go with your instincts, but be able to blend! Don't try mixing exhale in norman bass or something, lol.

Anyways mate thats just my opinion, don't feel insulted or anything, thats probably the type of music thats big in your area.

Hope my advice helped!
Peace!

Here's my opinion on it 6 months ago, and it hasn't changed now!

Also, it uses the old "Song To The Siren" vocal which has been used about 20 times over the last decade on dance tracks (yawn).

Ok.. the vocals might be stolen (I didn't know that..) and it truly IS commercial, BUT you can't say it's CHEAP!

It sounds great, even with stolen vocals, even if it's commercial. It's a bit overplayed, indeed, so I'd wait some months until I'd play it again rarely.
