two pretty strong comps actually. i'd probably go for ferrys just looking at the tracklist.
i love obscure one-off type mix comps like this (as opposed to whored out series)
where are they getting re-released?
i wonder if the new fans (of the current sludge) go back and like to discover this classic stuff, like we did once familiar and a fan of the stuff that was contemporary in our day. i know i loved to scour the p2p networks hunting down every club mix that i wasn't familiar with.
the styles are probably too far removed now, but there must be some genuine dance fans lurking and just starting out. |

agree with you about those rare overlooked tunes which are in Ferry's mix..
I believe both are getting re-released in the next few weeks |

it was a fad but it still s on today's big room electro pop house crap. |

that's an opinion coming from the perspective of someone who has a rather large stick lodged up their anus though.
i was talking about young folk who are fans of the current dance scene. if they are just starting out - and they have to start somewhere, i'm sure you'll agree - the current scene is where they'll most probably be drawn to.
are you saying none of them will turn out to be genuine dance fans?!
and labelling all old school trance as corny, as much as it fits your agenda, is elitist bullcrap - this if where you probably started out yourself - and you know full well there are a load of quality tunes from this era.
my point was, maybe the new age style of trance got their attention, and if they are a genuine dance fan (in the making) then they will dig into the historic stuff and try it out, and develop their tastes.
as far as i'm concerned, any 'corny old uplifter' is better than trance 2.0 - a step in the right direction.
i'm sure you balked at 'boring' type of dance music when you were still in your melodic cheeseball phase.
a very preceptible rise in quality can be seen along the trajectory of any real dance fan... to the point where looking back you will probably feel embarrassed by some of your past choices of music.
it's a pity you go one further and are geniunely ashamed of that past, like you are trying to affirm something.
i see it as progress. most of the people listening to the current wave of trance probably won't turn out to be die-hard dance fans, but some most definitely will.
hopefully they can look back and laugh, rather than feel like they were somehow raped. |

| I listened to this kind of stuff when I started out – when I was 15. I’m not remotely ashamed of what I listened to as a teenager, but that doesn’t mean I hold any of it up as something a “genuine” dance fan would want to discover. There are a couple of legitimately good tracks on these two compilations – I’d still listen to Namistai, for example – but the majority of those tracks are deeply corny. This kind of stuff was mocked at the time by “genuine” dance fans, so why would you suggest “genuine” dance fans today would treat it any differently? This is the kind of music you grow out of, not into. |

i am talking about genuine dance fans in the making, can't you read? i'm not talking about seasoned dance fans - they obviously know all about uplifting trance - i'm talking about noobs (for lack of a better word)
if your current love is stuff like armin van buuren - this is what it feels like, then i'd like to think some of armin's classics like communication or blue fear would be something you could grow INTO... and from there you would get more and more progressive.
i know i was interested in hearing older tunes (or more specifically all other tunes, regardless of age) from the artists i was into at the time. that's how tastes develop...
i was envisioning new age armin or ferry fans seeing these older reissues appearing on beatport or whatever, being curious (naturally) and trying them out - and what they'd make of them. |
