Here's another favourite thread, yay!
The conditions are as follows:
- artist name must start with a d
- track name must end with a s
- there must be a voice sample in the tune
- the tune should have been released during the period 1996-1998
- the label on which the tune has been released must also have relased at least one track that involves Simon Posford in one way or another.
I choose Darshan's Tranceformations tune released on Flying Rhino.
I guess that short sample sounded ok, but seeing as he hasn't released anything as Hallucinogen in ages I would be very surprised if he released an incredible tune for a video game soundtrack. It would make more sense if he saved the great stuff for his own label, I mean the Unusual Suspect 2 compilation could really use an extra good tune instead of those average collaborations.
Yes, but then he's dressed in space tribe spandex, a tip hood and shouts "take dmt..dmt..dmt" in the microphone, no wait, that's the other guy, Rudolf Ram.
I like the Green House Effect album a lot, and I wouldn't consider it selling out. Keep in mind that he used a new artist name for a sound that was completely different from his Sandman music.
According to the rumours no label has been willing to release Sandman's new music, just as with the Chi-AD album.
Metal Spark released their Corrosive album on Blue Room.
Btw, if you like Metal Spark you should try Sibilant, it's one of their aliases. They released an album on Symbiosis called Proper Filth.
Two great albums.
I would recommend:
Haltya - Electric Help Elves
Maskalin - Way of Life
Squaremeat will probably do the trick too.
About the second track on the Electric Safari compilation, that's Electric Tease:

Btw, Tim Healey used to work with Mark Allen as Quirk. As Quirk they released one of the best psy-trance albums: Machina Electrica & Fornax Chemica
This is not to be confused with psychedelic trance, it's Skazi techno rave music for the computer nerd teens dreaming of being Neo in the Matrix and sneaking out from mom and dad to go to their first illegal underground techno rave party.
Don't worry they will grow up.
Well, I would not call all of them masterpieces but they are very good and probably unknown to a lot of people:
Nervasystem & Aether - The Mama Matrix Most Mysterious
Yellow Magnetic Star - Son of the Light
Nuclear Ramjet - Music for Spaceports
OOOD - Breathing Space
Shaolin Wooden Men - Supermindway
Ubar Tmar - True
Aeon - Transe Modulaire
Three old and great releases:
Metal Spark - Corrosive
Sibilant - Proper Filth
V/A - Elastic - 21-3 Records

You haven't really missed anything. The first movie is ok, but could have been great if they focused on criticism of our current consumer society, but they decided to focus on the action instead. Poor choice.
