See - that's got the track by The Visions of Shiva which is Cosmic Baby and
Paul Van Dyk
it's all these classically trained guys with their aspirations to be
Tangerine Dream and Wagner rolled into one who spoiled the brew
from discogs:
"Cosmic Baby (Harald Blüchel) was born at 19/Feb/1966 in Nuremberg, a
classically trained concert pianist who began at the Nuremberg Conservatory
at the tender age of 7, he has been composing pieces for synthesizer since
discovering Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk in 1980."
Isn't BT also classically trained? I recall reading a fair number of years
ago, I think it was a mid 90s Mixmag issue, an interview with Van Dyk where
he said how he appreciated classical music and how he wanted to take
electronic dance music into a more classical music direction.

I remember this compilation had a vol2 to it too. For me this was
'Progressive' (is that as bad as Intelligent Techno) House moving to what
we
now call Trance. Builds up and break down an all that.

I'll readily admit that I like trance music - of the variety that came out
on the Volume compilation sets. There are quite a few Detroit artists on
those. Check out these track listings: http://www.discogs.com/release/88553

but this is trance before the "Great Divide" that got its start in the
early
90s and by 94-95 was well on its way to pushing trance and techno apart.
I'd
like to know - what was the first "Trance" record that put the massive
build-ups and breakdowns on their way to the history books of dance music?
I know Richie Hawtin and Speedy J were lumped in the trance music very
early
on - I'd say that they are two of the only producers that most techno and
trance fans can agree on. They sure knew how to abuse the 808/909 drum
rolls
as well. Everyone goes on about Oakenfold but i put more blame on Paul Van
Dyk and Sven Väth and what was going on in Germany and Goa, India for the
way that trance became "progressive house/trance".

Re: (313) No Movement 2005?
oh wait...are we 313ers still supposed to hate Trance? oops! I forgot that
"trance" was supposed to be taboo. a few weeks ago I was at a Dollar Store
and as I was checking out there was a CD display near the register. as I
spun through the terrible selection I came across a double CD compilation
on
Rising High Records called "The Secret Life of Trance". it included tracks
by Timo Mass and Jam & Spoon and it was only one dollar...so I bought it. I
figured it would be good for a laugh or two. so while cleaning house the
other day I decided to put it on and give it a listen before throwing it
away, but ended up listening to it straight through. it's actually quite
good! (?) I apologize, guys. it was an accident and it only happened once.
I
swear! I feel so dirty. but at least it wasnt "electro clash"! :)
oh and regarding movement: maybe it's time to take it off of life support?
it's already made history and has it's place in our hearts forever. why not
just let it go? Keeping a "version" of it alive artificially or in an
altered form would do nothing but tarnish the fond memories of what it once
was. Have you ever had your favorite danceclub/party/event outlive it's
natural lifespan? it gets pretty sad at the end. examples: Lollaplooza?
Motor Lounge? The Limelight? Ministry Of Sound?
DEMF: Do Not Resuscitate
I have nothing against the DEMF/Movement festival or it's organizers. I
performed at the very first (where I was paid quite handsomely) and what
may
turn out to be the very last one (where I performed for absolutely free)
and
would gladly do it again if they needed me to, but if the only way to keep
it going is to make it an "Area One" monster rock show, then it's time to
let it rest in peace and take it's rightful place as a part of the history
of Detroit Techno.
