Most of the stuff they were making or spinning around 1995. It was a combination of progressive house and early progressive trance, with very long tracks and often very uplifting moods. It was only around for a couple of years so there weren't that many established names in the scene.

epic house died when prog decided that epic wasn't a good direction and darkness was better, it eventually morphed into progtra....ehmm, house

since when is freestyle a "forgotten" genre? turn on ktu (if you live in the nyc/nj area) and you'll hear tons of it daily.

i remember hearing "let the music play" one of the very first times i ever went clubbing (a loong time ago...).

Is it like the stuff from Sasha's Essential Mix from 21-05-1995? I just recently got it and I've listen to it a couple of times and really like that type of sound.

Yeah. I love that mix too. He starts off pretty trancey, with Hardfloor, Spicelab and Pete Lazonby, but by the end it's thoroughly epic house.

So I guess it's impossible to find anything like that set these days?

Easily one of the best albums I have ever heard. Too bad his recent work has not been anywhere near the same quality.

Pretty much. It's a dead genre, dead sound.
