Dreams by Quench is a true classic.

Thumbs up on your taste in music. :-)


Hehe, thanks for the thumbs up.  Dreams is an absolute classic trancey-techno track and is usually played on my Mp3 player when I'm mid way through a workout.  

There's part of me that never did quite kiss goodbye to the early 90's techno/trance scene as tracks like the Prodigy's Skylined, Sunscreem's Pefect Motion and some Leftfield regularly get played as part of my "workout mix".  If anyone knows where I can get hold of the awesome SXS mix of Sunscreem's "Pressure Us" then do shout!

@x56h34 and Wilse,

Am impressed dudes...

FYO, I live less than 20 miles from Braintree where The Prodigy started out, and 40 miles from Romford, home of Sunscreem.

I think I might have the "Oh Yeah" mix of Love You More somewhere, was damn nice too.  There was also that extraordinarily pretty mix of Perfect Motion that's been on all sorts of albums but I've only got a bad recording on cassette - it conjours up the memory of a train journey home one glorious early sumer evening from London in 1993 when I first heard it, I think it might have been the "Heaven" mix or something but can't quite remember.

Fave Sunscreem track has to be "Your Hands" from the O3 album.  Again, very pretty and brings back some of my happiest memories.  It's a shame that Sunscreem lost the plot afterward with "Change or Die" when they did both - although Exodus and No Angel were a return to form IMHO.

I've never really got on with post "Fat of the Land" Prodigy.  They evolved from almost parody-rave through to a hardcore industrial sound and to be honest I found most tracks on "Fat of the Land" too OTT for me.  Smack My {bleep} Up was an all time classic though.  "Music for a Jilted Generation" got it spot on with so many classic tracks, favs being Skylined of course and Speedway.

Yeah, the early 90's were a great time for music...  I remember bopping away to Anastasia's (no, not the honking singer) T99 while standing atop a podium with a whistle in my mouth and my T shirt around my waist back in 1991!  Then there was some of the stuff 808 State was churning out in 1990ish.

Big fish, little fish, cardboard box...  Blow your whistle!

[edit]
Have also recently discoverd William Orbit's Strange Cargo 3.  Most of it seems a little pretentious and ambient, but "Water From a Vine Leaf" is a work of genious IMHO.
