Activ8 isn't it. I loved a bit of Altern8. Watch your bass bins

Reminds me as well about that tune Anastasia by T99, proper ravey music.

Ahh, that reminds me of another tune of the same era - Fairy Dust by SetUp System...

fuck you - altern8 were amazing. although their detroit techno alter-ego nexus 21 was better...

 

[kyser_soze]

Altern8 were a proper poppy rave thing which is what made them great - that and getting his daughter to say 'Top one, nice one, get sorted' as a sample

I would add Positive Education by Slam to my list, and Aceperience. Not house, but awesome tunage.

What else...hmmm...

 

[Orang Utan]

Kariya - Let Me Love You For Tonight - absolutely wonderful piano-led tune with a magnificent vocal.

Indeed

 

[Orang Utan]

Not quite house, but this should go on any dance comp - that bass and that vocal make my spine tingle:

The Shamen were good back then. Pro-Gen, Omega Amigo, stuff like that.

49ers, Touch Me. Big Italian house screamer type thing.

Oh, and to repeat:

gat decor - passion
La Luna - Bang! To The Beat of the Drum (one of my top 10 all time favourite choons)

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

anything with the chemical brothers on it is a big bag of steaming shite imvho.

 

[isitme]

altern8 were amazing and anyone who says otherwise is a cunt tbh

 

[kyser_soze]

So you dismiss everything else because it's got two CB tracks on it?

Besides, the Chemicals rock.

 

[Voley]

Amazed everyone likes Altern8. I thought they were a fucking joke.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

yep, i'm in an extreme mood today

(and no they don't by the way, they have no place on an old-skool house thread)

 

[kyser_soze]

They do, but you're correct, they aren't old skool house. However it was the rest of the tracks on the album especially those in bold that I was drawing attenttion to

 

[purplex]

Shannon - let the music play
Glam - Hells Party
Fluke - Slid (Scat & Frenzy)
React 2 Rhythm - Intoxication
Colonel Abrahams - Trapped
Farley jackmaster Funk - Love cant turn around
Marshal jefferson - move your body

 

[Voley]

Thanks for all the recommendations, everyone - Soulseek's throwing up a few gems thanks to this thread.

'Ozone Breakdown' particularly. Had an 'aah, that's what this tune was called' moment with that one. Thanks, pk.

I know, youre gonna want me, but when you want me, it might be a different story.

I fart in your general direction

 

[rubbershoes]

Also I have hazy recollections of a song with a Queen sample (I think) in it going 'Is this the real life?' over and over. Anyone know what that is?

corporation of One - real life

It's just vocals from Bohemian Rhapsody over a Simple Minds instrumental with some drums thrown in

great tune though

I'd nominate my sound by Joey Beltram

 

[kyser_soze]

That's reminded me:

Eon - Spice & Fear The Mindliller

 

[rubbershoes]

For piano, how about Subliminal Cuts - Le Voie Le Soleil

the best piano track of all!!!

 

[Gerry1time]

It's been on here before, but as an aside http://www.ravegenerator.com/ is

 

[starfish]

Is there anybody out there - Bassheads

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Sweet Sensation by Shades of Rhythm was a corker.
