Your dream compilation

Over the past few months I've been putting together some of my own compilations on CD of late and am finding it really hard to cut down which tracks not to use. The last one I did was the best of Disco Kandi, basically taking 2 of the best tracks from each disc....man that was hard but the end product is amazing!

So the question is, if you had to pick your double disced CD compilation what would you put on it? Any genre accepted. I'll think about mine for now and post it tomorrow. 20 - 40 tracks should be easier to pick than say your top 5 and it would be interesting to see your choices! Good luck people! 8)

Disc 1 tracks 3, 9, 10, 20 and Disc 2 tracks 1, 3 and esp 12 all absolute classics :D :D :D
 
Bugger! forgot to have a proper think last night about mine, oh well, I'll sort it out over the weekend
 
Cheers Babs, I had Where love lives on my short list but I couldn't fit it in.....I like how i've got to track 10's on disc 1....doh! :rolleyes:

It's Friday afternoon, I'll let you off hon ;)
 
I'll do a 40 track mix tonight and work out what tracks I would use, agent gecko2 will report back on Monday... ;)
 
No sweat gecko2, I look forward to it. Basically the idea behind this was to blag some ideas out of people :twisted:. I Challenge anybody to beat that track list.....it's all funked up!
 
Oops, you'll probably not like mine very much as it's mostly old skool trance, never mind i'll do it anyway :)
 
comin´ at ya, i would really like to know about your choices...why? just curious because you always say you don´t like that "cheesy house"... ;)

btw, i´ll post my compilation tomorrow :D
 
Well I've had a quick think, and I'd go for two slightly different mixes, one more old skool and with bit of a mixture of genres with a bit of bite to it and another more laid back lyrical trance to chill to.

Granted most of these are from the mid to early nineties, but as i have previously mentioned in other posts - most trance nowadays just isn't my cup of tea.

I've managed to pick up all these on vinyl now with the exception of Little Fluffy Clouds, which I'm hoping to get off ebay some time soon

Mix One - The Goa Sunset
Banco Di Gaia - Last Train to Lhasa
Art Of Trance - Madagascar
Prodigy -Out of Space
Animal - Lost It.com
Prodigy - Voodoo People
Revolition 9 -The Dreamer
Quietman -Now and Zen
Art of Trance - Kilimanjaro
Man With No Name - Floor Essence
Virus - Sun
Hybrid - Symphony
Papua New guinea -Future Sound Of London
Moby -Go
Westbam -Wizards of Sonic
Orbital -Funny Breaks


Mix Two - Liquid Medidation Mix
Café Del Mar - Energy 52
Solar Stone - Seven Cities
Sarah McLachlan- Sweet Surrender
Matt Darey - Moody
Libra vs Taylor - Calling Your Name
Chicane - Saltwater
Orbital - Chime
Boccaccia - Secret Wish
D&A - Daemons
Faithless - Salva Mea
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds
Apollo 440 - Liquid Cool

You've got some absolute gems in there Toffer, and I'd like to see one of these labels that bring out compilations press that as one. I'm more house based nowadays, the trance now will never be of the same calibre as a few years ago in my opinion. Many moons ago I was into trance, and dare I admit it that I was even once well into hard house around 96/97 when Tony De Vit ruled the waves. It's a shame that trance and hard house became saturated with s**t that took it down. I've always loved house more so I'm sticking with my roots.....

My compilation may be up tomorrow, I was playing around over the weekend and could only manage the first 20 before as I was chopping and changing how they mix. The problem is I have well over another 20 tracks which I want to use. There's a lot of tracks Dr Fox has on his in my list so far. ;)
