NasserAlazzawi Now this is what I’m talking about! Trust Nas to deliver the goods.

And by “goods” I mean “complete trash which you should rightfully feel embarrassed about”.

The vocal in ‘Ghosts’ isn’t too bad, mind.

    This thread is an absolute abomination.

    And it’s all Hugo’s fault.

      I like the way Hugo is dictating the rules in a thread he didn’t even start.

      Mesmerising levels of ASPERGERS.

      hugopal Diving Faces not sure it was ever as much a “classic”?

      I never said it was a classic. This thread, as you have pointed out many times, is for guilty pleasures.

      Certainly it must have been popular, at least with DJs, as it was inescapable for about 6 months. Although often as an early or mid-set track.

          Potential name change to HuSTOPpal

            whatever
            Good man.

            The whoppers need educating though, it’s a great responsibility!

              Mad_Cyril Would say this was Creams silver period, downward trajectory

              I might be a bit too close to it to tell to be honest…

              92 - 95 Just mental, the place was such a visceral experience, rare as fuck vibes
              96 - 02 Oakey, Full On, Bugged Out, festival line ups, absolute carnage every weekend, proper ’avin it stuff, boss vibes
              03 - 08 It struggled the way the rest of the industry did, not sure what to do with itself post trance, still some great nights

                  Amps 92 - 95 Just mental, the place was such a visceral experience, rare as fuck vibes

                  Golden period for me (other opinions are allowed)

                    By 04 Cream was just bad most weeks, I remember the flyer girls coming in a bar in Concert Square once when I was out with boozers (maybe Modo) and them desperately trying to get people to go. I did end up in there once and it just seemed sad. Chibuku was better for a while.

                    The whole superclub thing had died almost overnight (well, in the space of two short years), it seemed.

                    Around that time, I had started usually going to the Lemon Lounge, Korova, places like that.

                      My first time in Cream was ’97 and it was fucking outrageous. Midway through my sixth form. I just decided ’I’m doing this every fucking week’ (as we all do) and from there it was basically three years in GodsKitchen, Atomic Jam and Sundissential (as I was in the Midlands) ’98-2001.

                      And trips to London for the Gallery @ Turnmills as my cousin was down there. Then moved onto Fabric and The Cross.

                      Never liked Rankey’s - always hated it. The Phoenix was the club in Manchester IIRC.

                      Did a great job of copying the Bugged Out model to an extent.

                        ScottBailey as per my earlier post - one of the Ferry Corsten tracks which I think is too good to warrant a “guilty pleasure” moniker.

                          Your post was listing tracks which there may been an expectation you might have had some “particular fondness” for. I was just pointing out that Diving Faces looked a bit out of place alongside the other tracks mentioned as having been particularly popular.
