many of these tracks i never even heard of. i bet there are many djs here (or those who cook up mixes but don't go about doing gigs). why don't some of yous who's got skills to put the sets together. i'd love to listen how they come out. it'd be nice if peeps can share their effect gears across the net, wouldn't it... great thread, btw.

hi ukiro, can i get some of your mix cd/tapes, maybe? btw, the track 'if i' is one of those rare techno tracks that even some of my redneck rock-and-roll buddies like - nice metal energy. dasa

never was big fan of 'dr lex.', but 'outland' is stuck in my mind. you've got the koranic chant (the arabic chant, i'm guessing), MLK Jr speech, and the mesmerizing, repetitive melody - very trippy. condolence and god-speed recovery to the peoples of southern asia.

really? slight mixup in chronology. this is odd, i thought 'trance express' was lousy cuz i have gotten that after 'tribes of the moon', which i think is amazing. i'm looking at 'tribes...' now and can't tell when it was released (or when i've got it), but this one doesn't have borges-lunde credited. i had thought all along that it was borges-lunde who put the melodic touch in d5, but i'm wrong on that, too. so... nevermind (all that i wrote on these guys)...

nah, i've got it all wrong. i dug thru my bins and found 12" that i was refering to, 'trancefix'/'trance express' on d5 label. i thought there was more, but don't see any here. this is a release without borges-lunde, but i think it's actually released earlier than second phase. my bad.

can someone list versions of this tunes released? this one melts me. aptly named. true, climaxes are more the specialty of anthemic styles.

jesus, seraph is like encyclopedia on tunes. i've got to hear the guy behind RA first as dimension 5 (with some other guys) when they were releasing stuff on blue moon production label. don't know if he released stuff before that. blue moon went under (guess the thailand venture didn't turn out too viable - i think many psy labels experienced financial difficulty around '01), and i've got one or two later releases of dimension 5 after the RA guy (sorry, can't remember the name) left the team - it's pure crap, i'm afraid. only ra album i have is 'sirius', which is quite good and melodic (some of the samples sound bit amateurish, though). if you like that, try to get your hands on some d5 albums - there were two i think, can't remember their names - gotta get off the damn booze. oh, 'tribes of the moon' is quite good. somehow it reminds me of 'rave alarm' from back when.

the tracks in general sounds pretty dated, but the big hits (papua new guinea, expander, moscow) still sound pretty good to me, though this may be due to nostalgia - that's why i requested the review as the review says, this isn't quite the timeless classics like their later, ambient releases, but still interesting buy - gives you a sense of the sound back in early '90 - it was the time when the techno/acid house sound and warehouse parties took off (in the u.s.).

yes, play a fast psytrance with dirty and strong baseline, recorded for 45rpm, drop it down to 33 - it's pretty hipnotic. i think dutch folks called it "new beat" in early '90s...?

you bastard! you wouldn't have extra copies of 'let there be light' on vinyl, would you?

what you said. although i wouldn't drop acid listneing to this stuff, though.

as in anything social, it's a peer pressure thing, hardened with necessity for money. you know, if everyone around you are robots, you start wondering if robots are the humans. 'yuppy' (to me) means type of value system (like you wrote), but the reason i said i became one is because i now run like that dude that woke me up. btw, their earlier (faster) tracks 'papua new guinea' and 'expander' still sound pretty damn good, after all these years. wanna put up a review for those?

they should have released extended version of 'slider'. the baseline on that one is just... don't have the word for it. 'not bad for human,' indeed.

i remember blasting this off my car, while dozing off the roof of the car at a park on the riverbank in philly - i was supposed to be studying for final. some yuppy dude who was jogging actually woke me up to ask what the name of the tunes were. that was a decade ago, and now i have become that 'yuppy dude'. great tunes.

i saw him in his "live" gig a while back in a club here. i went thru different areas of the floor to find a good sonic spot - no use. it's all "boom-chi-boom-chi-boom-chi..." all thruout the set. what melody?!
