Age Of Love - The Age Of Love (Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Club Mix) (1992), still regarded by the majority, no matter what genre of EM they're into, as one of the most influential and pioneering electronic trance tracks of all time. RIP Mark Spoon.​

Hey, do you like the other side as well? UK early 90's breakbeat/hardcore too?

I have many scores ofvthe best there you see.

You know this one? If you can play this with decent sound and speaker and stereo well I absolutely adore this track from 1995.

Hi there mate, sorry I've only just seen this. This track reminds me heavily of what I did used to buy on CD's which were things like the Reactivate series (remember 9 with the shark on cover and 10 with the crab on cover? those two in particular I thought were outstanding) in fact I think I posted one in one of our threads. The thing with there being so many threads in the Music discussion forum, which I'm not complaining about I think it's great, this is my own problem, is firstly I forget what I've posted where and also where to even post things in the first place. But a lot of the tracks on the reactivate CD's had fairly high bpm's for House/techno didn't they...you know going into the 150's is fast. But yeah I like some of that kind of stuff too.

EDIT: It's about 6 tracks up in this very thread haha fucking hell slightly embarrassing, that's from Reactivate 10 (Crab cover)

Cheers man. No worries too lol, I do this a lot lately, forever coming to replies I missed?

But somehow stumbling across still.

The Body Slam tune was played at every legal rave when I started.

The Sanctuary arena Milton Keynes was actually real class. Helter Skelter, Dreamscape was the best all round, starting with Evolution for above 15's first.

It was 95. Breakbeat old skool was transitioning to happy hardcore. I hate true happy hardcore. 97 onwards.

But in the crossover there were some great tracks. I have such an incredible sound system right here.

Original J.B.L. speakers 30 + yrs old. Unbelievable things.

Marantz amp + pairing CD player. On LSD these years, the beat and bass, syncronicity and underlying drive and ethos in Body Slam makes it for me a stand out tune of all time.

It's actually genius, but needs justice with ample sound especially bass.

2005 Lyme hit me hard AF understatement. I had barely ever used the internet by then too, age 25. I knew nothing but had lived, laughed, grown in such a free mental space.

No mobile phone until 2004.

I stopped listening to music entirely as Lyme removed all pleasure. For over 10 years.


So I missed a lot that you have caught.

I just looked up the reactivate series the shark one and I don't know this stuff it's a separate genre and style all together again but never would have caught my appeal personally maybe because it seems very generic generally overall, track to track.

Lots of people appreciate this I like the rabbit holes and caves those mental psychedelic oldschool breakbeat tracks still take me to now as much as they ever did.

I will dig a few examples out. Still mega sick but it's real steps forward, just the process now.

I just need to see it through and I'm determined to get this thing done now I can see it being within reach for first time.

I still need to be so mentally strong to stay awake managing things I only sleep about three hours average and put up with continual sickness and discomfort until the process is complete but it's nearing despite being the other side of the ropes out of the ring more than ever ironically.

It's to play for though.
 
@Sergeant Absent

These types, but so many of them.

It is the mad timeless illogical pschedellic inner space I like in them. Always bringing it back in to just up, thriving and high after the psychedelic mishmash chorus.



This one is DnBy too




This is just a brilliant track IMO.



This is wicked too I swear mate. Again it's bass style too.

 
I'm so sorry to hear about your

I had the Slipmatt and the DJ's unite on Vinyl too. Nice picks mate. My systems not to shabby either, I've got 2 KEF Cantata's (fully working but need to solder a tweeter replacement in which I've actually got, lazy bastard) and 2 Spendor SP1's which are faultless, so a vintage speaker set up but with early 2000's all black stacks. Audiophiles would crucify me but I enjoy it, I know enough about acoustics and sound engineering from that course I did so I know where potential and actual problems are but because it sounds good enough to me I leave it, you could lose a lifetime adjusting that shit.

What I want to know is where the fuck have my first two sentences gone? "I'm sorry to hear", and then straight onto speakers. Sorry about that I promise you I wrote more after the "sorry to hear", so:

I'm so sorry to hear about your pain and affliction holding certain things back and I totally sympathise that you must feel like you "missed" a lot of what was going on. But, although I wasn't directly struck with an awful disease, my substance and alcohol issues that were getting worse by the week, I missed a lot of musical segments too. That's why it was quite interesting trying to type it out the other night because really I don't know what was going on musically from 1996 to I don't even know when. Also please don't feel like I'm sounding like "oh yeah I had that too" that would be patronising and a punishable insult, but what I am saying is that you're definitely not alone in "missing" a lot of what was going on...I was too but we both had our reasons.

Incidentally I know you love digging these out but don't get out of breath or in pain know what I mean? don't hit it too hard mate. I wouldn't like to hear that you've become even more poorly.
