Not as long as you might think! I was very bored! lol.
Half was from memory, half from looking at my collection of tunes! Think i'll have to put a playlist together once i've found all the tunes (and recorded some off records), see how many hours worth of music it adds up too!

[CHRIS]

would make a nice torrent

I'll try and sort that out once i've gathered all the tunes together (could take a while!). Not used torrents for ages, been enjoying the benefits of Usenet!

[TC]

now those are some nice songs man! alot of stuff i know, and also some stuff i have never seen b4, chris is right, a torrent would be the right thing to do :)

[electronomist]

I might see about doing it in installments, say 10 or 20 tunes at a time rather than one big torrent

[chalksot36]

I know all of the tunes and I'm very happy that someone loves classics like I do!

Cool, a lot of them are what got me into Trance in the first place! Lots of good memories!:)

[Eltimas]

I HAVE to download them. Going to look for each piece after downloading the tremendous amount of trance already on my list!

[informer005]

i'm gonna check it right now

[weagsybeags]

thanks

[Tranceformer]

That's a really nice list, and I noticed 'Skip Raiders- Another Day' I always listened to that tune when I was younger, it's a cool tune but I don't think it's as popular as it should be, I searched for other tunes by them, but found nothing, do they have a new name or what?

[Dance4ever]

THANKS MAN :)

It was a massive tune in the clubs (such as Gatecrasher) when it was first around.
Here's the Skip Raider's Discogs entry...

Shows they didn't really do much else.

Man, thats a gooooood list mate, very good classic trance 'sum-up' :) Especially Der Scheiber (Rapid Eye Remix), bloody love the feel and energy behind the progressive style to it.

That's a bloody shame man, Why go to the trouble of learning to produce, only to release 1 tune.
I'd 'say there using different names or something, it's hard to believe they'd stop just like that 'ya no, they have to be doing something.
But then again, some people do get sick of it.

Cheers.

[Extatic]

VERY NICE LIST! You forgot one of my favorite... Parker and Clind- Generator 1999 ;)
