Guest dam10n Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I know there was a topic about Blue Room a couple of weeks ago and whether they are still alive. Not sure how or if that topic got resolved, however I got confirmation this morning that they are NOT going to be releasing any more tunes. It's over - kaput. The back catalogue is selling fast, a ton of stuff was shipped to South Africa and the rest of everything is being sold via www.recordstore.co.uk. So anyway I think this is really sad, obviously they are doing what they are doing and we can't change that but... I am thinking about writing a sort of little obituary of blue room for the places I freelance on, as far as I'm concerned they put out some kick ass releases which helped make sure I was full on into this music and everything about the scene, and I'm guessing I'm not alone here. So basically if anybody wants to contribute something like their favourite blue room release, or thoughts on the passing of a label or whatever, post em here and I'll wind it all up in the obit. Cheers, and sniffles, Damion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Elysium Project Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I actually would descripe most of them - if not all - as pure classics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dam10n Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 man I had no idea saafi's mystic cigarettes was 1997 - still sounds fresh now. Wasn't X Dream's Radio single on Blue room - that was kinda pivotal Incidentally I saw a pair of their blue room minipod speakers last week.. in joey's apartment in friends.psy is everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mescalinium Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 blue room will always be my favorite label: their releases are what got me into trance!!! the first electronic music album i bought was juno's bible of dreams. they will be missed............ =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UBS Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 As Iain Rive told me last year-"we never got any fuckin money from them"-however as much as you try to deny it, they were the start of what we know as the quality Psychedelic trance sound. I still have my reflecter Blue Room sticker on my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest :( Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 This is really, really sad. NP: Total Eclipse - Violent Relaxation - Blue Room 1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khogg Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 What? Dragonfly is gone too? Say it isn't so. When these labels disappear, why don't other labels rerelease their best stuff? Shouldn't be too hard to get the rights to do so, or would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trancer Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Etnica - Alien Protein, the best cd ever created in Mans history together with I.F.O. I would not be what i am today without this cd..have made me see things diefferent. Words can not descripe the joy i have experienced with this cd. Starship 101, Screaming butterfly...also the masterpiece X-Dream - Radio that made our scene what it is today (good or bad) but know one can't denie it's a masterpiece..also the Plastic which is the EP ever.. RIP blueroom... i am sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomble Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Actually Blueroom started selling off their overstock in the summer of 2001 - that's when I found out that they were closing down. They sold their music direct for silly prices (18 cds for £18 - 30 Euros). It is a great shame, but the label never really made much money. They are concentrating on the pod speakers which are selling really well (and have appeared on every commercial and tv show recently). I have a friend (Humphrey from L.S.D) who has the entire Blueroom collection including many unreleased things - he was asked to compile a cd of the best of the unreleased tracks, but that fell through. I am hoping to get hold of some of the lost stuff sooner or later, because it is a label that was never afraid to experiment and push boundaries. I am sure there's a lot of stuff that I would like that they never released. bomble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
