hugopal it’s painful to think that once upon a time I might have been unwittingly partying alongside Ed.

Brothers in arms Hugo!

    jonattonyeah Over/under how many times Trisco was played at The End.

    I’m going with….6

    Little known fact, every Dj who ever played at The End had to play Trisco at least once at set.

    It was written into their contract.

        Smallman1 funny that, went there about ten times to see Howells, Lawler, Garnier and Layo & Bushwacka and never heard Trisco once.

            I wasn’t being serious chief.

            Trisco isn’t a song.

            It’s a movement and a way of seeing the world.

              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.

                      Ed

                      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

                      Never quite got how Rampling played an hour straight up US House and then cranked it up to 140bpm with that Goa gibberish.

                      bosstrabs I think this woman spoke for us all with that perfectly understandable reaction tbf

                        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?
