X-Dream - "The Best (1991-2001)" 2 CD

[Guest The Journey Man Project]

 

http://www.solstice23.com/releases/solmc-067/

 

The eleven-year X-Dream musical journey has been condensed into a double CD and released!! Twelve quintessential tracks have been re-mastered and re-arranged, giving new life to these legendary classics. Their newest offering, expertly mastered by fellow top German techno artist Thomas P. Heckman, includes the original album and singles unique cover designs and a historical discography. Both the music and packaging is polished to a level that should satisfy both old school and new X-Dream fans alike. Solstice Music is set to release X-Dream's superlative album, "The Best" worldwide in the spring of 2006!!

Well, well, well... Another best of... But hey, it's X-Dream, and some of their older releases are getting harder and harder to track down, so I guess this would be an interesting introduction...

 

Too bad there's no track list available... I'd like to see what they've chucked together... I have all the albums myself, but I'm pretty sure I'll be getting this one too... ;o)

[Guest Cosmogenesis]

Interested only if there are some unreleased tracks inside. I don't remember I have a track from X-Dream from 1991. So, it looks interesting. But, I'm waiting the tracklist first...

But I think strange the period of the "best of" starts from 1991 to 2001, and not 2005 or 2006. Okay, they probably want to make a ten year "odyssey" like Juno Reactor "best of", but it means also that X-Dream's work after 2001 was completely different. Don't you think?

[DeathPosture]

Yeah, I was wondering about that too... Especially since the "toxic pictogram" from Irritant is on the cover... And Irritant was released in 2002!?

 

Strange...

 

Anyway, kudos to anyone who digs up a tracklist...

Hum, hum, hum! I'm a little disappointed! It's a best of, ok, but where are the unreleased or rare tracks there?? "Our own happiness" (303 edit) seems to be the only interesting track I want to hear... By the way, where is "Psychoactivity", one of the best X-Dream track?

It isn't necessary to buy this best of: I have, except two or three, all the tunes of this album! After "Akashic" from Cosmosis and "Odyssey" from Juno Reactor, you can also add X-Dream odyssey in the casket

I got their best (IMO) albums (We Created Our Own Hapiness, Radio & Irritant), but if it's true that 12 of those tracks were edited and remastered, then I'm gonna buy it too!

 

Looks, like I'll have to download it first though

true

[Guest The Journey Man Project]

Will get it simply because X-Dream for me are up there with Juo and allucinogen... quite a few tracks I don' r recognise even though I own 3 albums... always reretted selling my copy of the TIP compilation containing paninc in paraise, a chance to grab it freshly updated is for sure a dream... hopefully it'll come out earlier in Japan haha

[DeathPosture]

good, it's better now IMO

[Guest Cosmogenesis]

I don't know why the cover reminds me a little the "Chrome" album from Etnica.

[abasio]

There are quite e few tracks here that I don't have so I'll definately be getting this one.

It's just sad to see a best of album because it usually means "Sayonara" I have no new ideas so just keep listening to my old stuff please. Is this the end for X-Dream?

i dont know but it doesnt look like it could be so - they had Best Of X-Dream Vol. 1 on Tunnel Records before We Interface.

All you always wanted to know about X-Dream is in this interview.

I don't think it's the end of x-dream but it's clear that they got others things in mind right now. Marcus is working on a new Delta album while Jan and Ariel have a new project called Prime Suspect. And if you listen to the interview you'll see that they still have plenty of ideas.

[traveller]

Prime Suspect is very sweet btw
