IndustryStandard Binary Finary - 1998….
Or if you fancy a mash up Romy from the XX has been banging out, get a loada this bad boy……..
Binary Finary is a good tune. Personally I wouldn’t consider it a guilty pleasure.
If you like that Ariana Grande mash-up abomination though? Jesus fucking christ. It just sounds all sorts of wrong. The two don’t even match with each other properly.
bosstrabs I don’t have particular fondness for:
Binary Finary, Gouryella, Out of the Blue, Bullet in the Gun, Not Over Yet, Diving Faces
Binary Finary > all the other ones you’ve listed there.
Gouryella is pure cheese. Out of the Blue I don’t think is Ferry’s best work. Bullet in the Gun and Not Over Yet have both got tired. Diving Faces not sure it was ever as much a “classic”? And also quite cheesy.
The Kay Cee Mix of 1999 still kicks:
Guilty! Still think this was a cracking piece of shit polishing
ScottBailey Loved the Way out West mix of that.
ScottBailey another one where I don’t know how anyone could consider it a “guilty pleasure”?! It’s just a banger. Probably the most acceptable Faithless tune.
Amps Yeah, it was always a broad church. The boys in the office liked their US house, so you’d regularly get Sanchez, Sneak, Onionz, Joeski or the like for a bit of balance. Once Bugged Out came over it shifted around a bit, some people going to the Friday night etc.
Would say this was Creams silver period, downward trajectory
What the world needs is a Business Class Lounge with orchestral remixes of Gatecrasher trance classics pumped in.
Enya-type vocals and dreamy, uplifting beats as you raid the curled up sandwiches and filter coffee just before JETSETTING off to Barbados or Corfu.
Has anyone thought of this already? The ‘Fat Lads’ could make back all that money they owe Digweed by teaming up with ESCAPE LOUNGE.
I only ever heard Oakenfold play this track, but still love it to this day. I remember it at Ultra Vegas and Creamfields in 1999
Fucking hell, Ultra Vegas - now there’s a blast from the past.
Totally forgot about that place. Went once because my uni mate was from Milton Keynes.
Remember thinking it was full of knobheads - they let too many boozers in.
I only went for the Gatecrasher events and the Ultra Vegas Birthday.
Mad_Cyril Maybe start another thread to establish the definition fk a guilty pleasure?
Might make the board run more smoothly in the future
Alistair already alluded to it in the first post of the thread:
alistair he dusted off some cheesy trance
Note the word “cheesy”.
Also, again the term “guilty pleasure” should be fairly self-explanatory. There needs to be some element of it whereby you’re aware that a fair few other people may find it a weird thing to like and perhaps a bit cringe - and therefore you may feel a bit hesitant or “guilty” about sharing it. If it’s just something you share proudly and you expect many others would understand and agree with then it’s just a “pleasure”.
Posting generally accepted stone-cold classic, non-cheesy trance doesn’t really fit the criteria.
Some bangers in here! So fast, too, to these aged ears at least.
Must say I far preferred the Nalin and Kane mix of Everytime (and it mixed brilliantly with Beachball).
I’m off down a right old rabbit hole now lol. Might fire up the decks and butcher some classics 
My BBE guilty pleasure:
elrobertos always liked the video
hugopal Dude if you have nothing to offer other than criticism and negativity, perhaps keep your counsel.
Alternatively, post some of your guilty pleasures and contribute good vibes.
One of my guilty pleasures was having a massive dump just as I’m coming up.
Hard to replicate irl, closest is after a double espresso first thing in the morning
Mad_Cyril Haaah. Same. I used to enjoy doing that so much I started to wonder if I was, in fact, a left-footer.
Turns out I’m not. Really don’t like the taste of cock.
The treacles loved this track. Cheesy but very well produced
elrobertos Turns out I’m not. Really don’t like the taste of cock.
Fucking double-lol
elrobertos Alternatively, post some of your guilty pleasures and contribute good vibes.
Hmm, fine.
These are perhaps the two “cheesiest” Gatecrasher era tunes I still have a fondness for:
I had also considered some Ferry Corsten stuff, but then I couldn’t say they’d be in the slightest guilty pleasures as his stuff is just too good for that.
Beachball
Fuck y’all, all of y’all
hugopal This one for me. ADORED it. On one of Warren’s GUs iirc?
Quite like the Tall Paul remix. Now that’s a guilty pleasure.
For me when I got into the trance/ pogressive house music around 1998 I was previously only into drum n bass and techno, so some of the cheesier end of trance at the time was still interesting to me. Obvious choice in this thread for me was
But I probably loved a bit of ATB at some point then too!
I should feel guilty, but I don’t.
I caught these tracks aged 15/16 at school right before my first Godskitchen experience happened later in 2002.
If it wasn’t for one close school friend influencing my music taste (when no one else seemed to be into it) on mini disk players and Napster / Audiogalaxy I wouldn’t have gone in this direction at all and definitely wouldn’t be a DJ.
Some of the proper Trance I later got into at Promise / Goodgreef etc made me wish I was born 4 years earlier so I could have seen what many of you guys did. I always heard the stories / could feel the enthusiasm about what went down around / after 1999 in particular.
I got about 2 more years out of Trance before heading more in the Prog/House/Techno direction (Trance scene died off in Newcastle around 2005) but it was attending the Trance warmups where I discovered Prog etc.
Trance was the gateway drug for me even though I never seek it out now - searching for those tunes above has just brought loads of class memories back - so thank you!
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.
