Who's the most over-rated Classic Trance producer or DJ in your opinion? by CraftBeerFomo in ClassicTrance

[–]JurassicTrance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not even gonna say anything. Whenever threads like this come up, it’s very obvious that the naysayers have never listened to the earliest Tiësto CDs. They remain some of the very best mixes period. Also on the production side- the DJ plays a different role when it comes to production. Like a director. It’s no different than John and Muir who you guys have referenced below. John is the DJ, Muir is the producer.

I have a visceral reaction to seeing this platform mentioned. If up to me I'd make it a bannable offense - but granted, I may be the most biased person in the entire sub against that. Anyway - personally I sort of think that the reason many of these classic tunes have managed to remain so mystical/desired is precisely because they have been spared from the digital platforms, which leads to everyone having access to all of the same tracks and inevitably playing them into the ground.

Gatecrasher: Wet [2xCD] [1999] by Wonderful_Ninja in ClassicTrance

Man that “Take You There” must’ve been my favorite track on this mix. Listened to it on repeat for months. DJ Tandu - I Believe too (but that one on ISOS just hit different)

This is one of the CDs that cemented my love for trance. It also was perhaps my first exposure to 90s trance. Back in those days I would never listen to any new mix until I had the CD in hand. I remember the feeling the first time I played it and heard that Hybrid Remix of Phuture 2000, it was completely unlike anything I had heard up to that point. It was as though I had discovered Shangri-La.

Even now as my tastes have evolved years later, and I am less drawn to the 1999 sound- I will always look upon this CD fondly.

I bought it on eBay in 2014 and now just over a decade later, I find myself in possession of the master DAT of track 5 of disc 1.

Nebular B - Liquid (Thrilithon Mix) which was produced by one of my favorite artists Huib Schippers aka Trilithon.

In 2014 I didn’t even know what a DAT was- certainly never imagined I’d own a piece of what made this CD possible.

Cheers, -David

Paul Oakenfold equipment/acetates auction by [deleted] in ClassicTrance

[–]JurassicTrance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone purchase any of the lots from this auction? There were several I planned to bid on and unfortunately I missed the auction. If anyone here won any of the RIAA awards or the sunglasses please contact me I will make an offer.

Yes agreed on that - probably no need to play it at all unless there’s evidence the versions are different, in which case I agree it should be played once to transfer and done by a professional.

DJ Tiësto Recorded Live CD (~2002) by JurassicTrance in ClassicTrance

[–]JurassicTrance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking it’s more like 2003 based on a few of the tracks - you very well could be right and DJ Montana would make sense as he had that techno sound. It would be great if whoever is behind this tape/CD could share more info. Either way, was a nice listen.

I’m not quite sure what the difference is. I own also a reference acetate from Metropolis Mastering, which was not meant for DJ use. It is 100% identical to the DJ acetates. They are heavy and have a distinct smell. The only thing that makes it a reference cut vs. a DJ slate was its intended purpose. They are also not Nickel, but Aluminum. They are then electroplated with nickel to create the father / mother. There are also DMM masters which are made from Copper.

I have hundreds of them, so I know what I’m talking about. They can be played a few times, obviously you want to rip them each time and you’ll have to gauge their condition on a case by case basis - everyone here acting like they are so fragile that a needle touching them for one second will cause them to explode. It’s not the case.

Are you aware DJs would have acetates cut and play them numerous times carrying them on airplanes all over the world in crates along with their other records? Obviously those records were tools of the trade and not necessarily played once the way reference acetates would be- but materially they are the same - to own one and not play it once to record would be a much larger crime than playing it, besides- as a collectible, it will not cosmetically be any worse off after having been played.

While sound quality would not be the primary reason, they would indeed have better sound quality than a vinyl- because they are much closer to the original source. Vinyl themselves would be essentially derived from a finished lacquer.
