Jon Cocco Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 X-Dream is one of my favorite artists in Electronica although I had mixed feelings with 2004's We Interface, the album. I should have looked this up before. I sometimes wondered why two big X-Dream albums were in the 1997 review section here. In 2007 before writing a real review on 1998's Radio and most recently 2004's We Interface album I had been reading through the Trip To Trancesylvania (currently in the 1997) review thread. I noticed an informative comment by Mindphilux on page 3 but never investigated this until now. So today I decided to look it up online at Wikepedia since Tunnel Records NEVER included dates in my copies. Many people are not informed of the actual release dates. Your perspective of X-Dream's debut may change if you knew it was made several years before Hallucinogen's Twisted in 1995 next to a handful of others. Everyone check these links out below on X-Dream's history. Wikepedia has information on virtually every publically known thing on the net including artist, book, movie, game, sport, word definition, etc. Many of you know this I'm sure and aren't sure about some things that are easy to look up in few clicks. Not sure about somethinig? Look it up! Trip To Trancesylvania is from 1993. We Created Our Own Happiness is from 1997. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_To_Trancesylvania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Created_Our_Own_Happiness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_%28X-Dream_album%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Interface_...-Dream_album%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Goa Trancer Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 It seems that in 1997 it was a reissue http://www.discogs.com/release/35814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Trip To Trancesylvania In the Mix was released in 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rino Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I'm glad you made it Jon. It is never too late. Even on discogs you can clearly see and read that the Tunnel Records version of "Trip to trancesylvania" was released in 1993 , and some of its tracks were even recorded prior to that date... Hence X-Dream's current status as the true, pioneering, evolving and always changing masters of the genre! :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt that impressed about we interface though. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veracohr Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 That was an interesting jaunt through Discogs. I only have the X-Dream Best of 1991-2001, and it was interesting to see that some of the songs on that comp. came out years before they actually appeared on an album. Like "Eleven" is dated 1994 on the Best of album but wasn't on an album until 1997 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai-Q Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Has someone saw the video "This" on the Trip to Trancesylvania - In The Mix cd? I never saw it, because it don't want to play on my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reger Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 ever tried to upload it to youtube for example ? or copy and give it to someone else to check it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindphilux Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The release dates have always puzzled me. i wasn't a fan of X-Dream in 1997 so i can't say for sure, but i've always been under the impression that We Created Our Own Happiness is from 1995. Their best-of album states that.. .even though it was released in 1997 apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Journey Man Project Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I'd say they produced the tracks and held on to them for a while... could be a number of reasons why: couldn't find a label they liked couldn't get a price for the track(s) they liked held onto tracks for a few years to use in live gigs and dj sets before releasing or it was jus siply hard to get it released in the 90's... or maybe they just produced them and waited to see if anything better came up over the next few years before chucking it out to the public...

Mindphilux Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 yeah thats probably the case. the re-release of Trip to Trancesylvania was released to coincide with it... because not even a year later Radio came out. that would be 3 albums in a year. not impossible i guess but unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
