jonattonyeah far too cheesy for the End.
Trisco isn’t a song.
It’s a movement and a way of seeing the world.

Riscot - Sakmu.

jonattonyeah The best-known event associated with Trisco is arguably Mark David Chapman’s shooting of John Lennon. Chapman identified with the power house prog track to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Wonderland Avenue.
Rumor has it Sparks “Tryouts for the Human Race” is actually a Trisco ripoff despite it being released decades earlier. Cannot confirm but it passes the eye test.

This week’s instalment, Cream Anthems mixed by the poor man’s Sasha and Digweed, who seemed to be inseparable around this time, often going arse-to-arse on a double-ender at Godskitchen or The Gallery.
Probably dragged in to do the Cream mixes due to Seb’s impending (and largely disappointing to many) residency.
Interesting fact: Music Sounds Better With You appeared on this because when it went massive, Bangalter apparently insisted on two mixes of it appearing on mix CDs or he wouldn’t allow it at all (thus doubling his royalties).
Standout tracks:
Tall Paul mix:
Cevin Fisher’s Big Freak - The Freaks Come Out (Original Mix)
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (Original Mix)
Robbie Rivera - The Ultimate Disco Groove
These are bona fide house classics that still sound great (IMO)
Seb Fontaine mix:
Actually nothing, it’s a truly horrible mix of big room tunes that had already been totally overplayed at this point. Tune in, though, for the overblown histrionic vocals of Lucid - I Can’t Help Myself and the utterly cheesy line in Radical Playaz - The Hook (Dave’s Rubber Dub Mix): “I want you to go out there and… DANCE! OKAY???”
I will not be listening to either of those Dave though I do appreciate the effort you’re putting in.
Cheers.

I am listening to them so you don’t have to Ed.
really dont think i listened to either of these the first time round. does have wizards of the sonic on the tall paul mix
bloody hate ayla
Never quite got how Rampling played an hour straight up US House and then cranked it up to 140bpm with that Goa gibberish.

bosstrabs the Fontaine mix has ‘Good Shot’, which I’ve already declared my liking of on this board.
On the Tall Paul mix, I must admit I still have a bit of a soft spot for '‘Storm’, it has a great rhythm and energy to it.
One of the worst things about those two mixes is that they don’t have the top versions of ‘Cafe Del Mar’, ‘Ayla’, Binary Finary and ‘Greece 2000’ - that was one thing the MoS comps were usually quite good at. Would, say, the Taucher remix of ‘Ayla’ have been more expensive or more difficult to sign than the Space Brothers remix? Or is Seb Fontaine just a no-taste pillock? Or both?

Well, I don’t know anything about the licensing/exclusivity, but in the case of Cafe del Mar, as someone who was clubbing around this time, this is Cream Anthems ’98 and the Nalin And Kane Remix was the one that was getting hammered.
The superior Three ‘n’ One Remix was on the previous year’s Cream Anthems ’97 and had been absolutely rinsed the year before.

Although as I said the ’98 Remix package (IIRC Nalin & Kane was the main one) gave the tune a second wave in the summer of 98.
It was always a floor filler, in all its guises, and I think it was probably the djs who had less originality/variety in their choice of bangers.
