I wouldn't say no to a DIY reconstruction kit for the Pariah tracks...

Allan Cowie's 'Red Devil' tracks here. Not just Gamelan and Secrets on Choo Choo but also the three releases on Covert Operations and one remix.

I was very briefly excited about finally getting La Forge - Second Contact, but the sound quality on it is useless.

This also has a lot of crucial stuff from the back catalog of BOY Records, which released a lot of really underrated new beat/proto-Frankfurt trance material in the early 90s (Time Modem(!!), Hypnopedia, New Scene). Very happy to see that Michael Zosel (who seemingly still owns Future Sound Productions) considered all this stuff worthy of archiving.

Set In Stone / Forbidden Zone. Re-released on Bedrock with no useless 124bpm update mixes, just the originals in all their overwrought glory. Time to revisit that age old DJ dilemma: play Set In Stone right from the spine-tingling intro and feel like Conan The Barbarian wielding a claymore atop a mountain, and then wait three minutes for anything else to happen in the tune, or be a dreary professional and just mix it in normally?
They've also re-released For What You Dream Of, which I'd be much more pleased about if it didn't just include 3 minute butchery edits of the originals.

Like I haven't spent enough money on music already.. I've got all their albums on CD (Time Modem) but missing many of the singles. Hopefully from good sources, and not ripped through crackling vinyl on cheap turntables.
I bought this superb track through bandcamp, but the quality was awful, so I ended up ripping this from YouTube and playing that version instead.

Jimpy - What A Day (Original 1998 Mix)
Antidote - Edam (Original Mix) on Celsius in 1998,
Jimpy - What A Day (Original Tribal Mix) on Progression Records in '98/'99, and
Jimpy - Infectious N (What A Day Mix) on Dorigen Music in 2001. I think they were all the same.

A new selection of old tracks from Chris Fortier here that includes some good stuff previously available (like Psiphonic - The Unknown) but also a few hitherto unreleased or unavailable digitally (Sarah McLachlan - Plenty (Fade Original 1997 Remix), Digweed's recent rework of Fade - Heaven to Heaven, Fortier's own rework of SLP - Supernova).

Saeed & Palash's vinyl releases on Addictive (1998-2004) now remastered, on Saeed Younan's Bandcamp.

Heads-up in case there is anyone still contemplating purchasing from the problematic Rhythm Syndicate digitals: I was checking out RHYSYN038 Mechas - Hot for Matt Darkhouse's remix, and the various platforms including the Rhythm Syndicate website itself have a 6:39 mins. track except for Traxsource which has a 7:16 which seems to be what it should be. God knows how they do this. I wonder who did the "work" on these rereleases.

He also has another compilation of old Fade material on there. I know most of that label's output has been on Beatport for years, but a lot of it was in the form of ty vinyl rips and some occasionally brutal edits, so it's very pleasing to see the originals getting beefy digital remasters. Just wish he wouldn't be so rag-tag in the chronology he releases them.
