i can't take 90s dance music seriously because they just remind me of I'm Blue, Kernkraft 400, Sandstorm or Axel F

but something about Alice Deejay's Better off Alone just hits the nostalgia bone

Shame he died so young. Loved his music. Introduced me to Trance and the entire scene. He inspired me to pick up a keyboard and start playing and developing.

Speaking of Children

I suggest listening to the album 'Trancelations' by Lowlands. Amazing pieces, including 'Children'.

never heard of him. then again, the 90's were a blur.

Thanks for the feels! Just epic. A real trip back to my early raving days which started at Cream @ Memorial Arena in Victoria around 1998. First album I listened to over and over in the car was Cream which had 1998 and Cafe Del mar, Three Drives among others. I then spent a few years going to many local raves on the island while spending way too much on trance CDs as mp3 downloads weren't available yet.

Every friday night I used to listen and record onto cassette Chris Sheppard's show, which played a lot of this stuff. Then I would crank that shit while PC gaming on dial up late at night, the only time I was guaranteed not to have someone pick up the phone and disconnet the game. I was getting 2-3 hours of sleep on a school night.
