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.

            bosstrabs Chibuku

            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.

                bosstrabs I never said it was a classic.

                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.

                  forzaforza posting a steady stream of hot steaming garbage. Magnificent.

                  bosstrabs in an alternate world digweed would have been playing this in 1998, better believe it dude!

                    Forgot how massive Trance was…..

                    Interesting tracks like “Natious - Amber” could slink into the prog scene and the Crasher shizzle.

                    I feel like trance was the easy target of the post millennium super club / superstar DJ pile on . Might bust out some of my Extravaganza promos and pitch em down / put a donk on a few and see how they sound 😃
