pr0fane Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 A lot has been said about YSE/Millennium Records. Calling their compilations “goa this and that” is certainly a marketing gimmick, but on the other hand they sell massive numbers (compared to other labels) and the tracks they license provide an income for the other labels out there. Also, despite the corny titles, some of their “hit-releases” are quite good – there’s a lot of value for the money, and sometimes you can get lucky and buy a compilation with a lot of good tracks, where you perhaps should have bought 3-4 ordinary albums or compilations to get the same amount of high quality tracks. That said, they have also released some quite good albums like Sonic Cubes “Sonic Cube”, Andromedas “Temptations” and Peter Guns “Pressure Point”.

sherlockalien Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 they release a fuck load of cds... most is crap imo... but there are some gems... some compilations are quite good, and some artists cds too (peter gun and sonic cube as profane mentioned).. definitely the kind of label you should listen before you buy, but as I said, occasionally you find some good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I agree with Profane about the license thing, as they take tracks from big, well established or even underground label, they help a bit everybody. Personally, i only bought the Blue Vprtex's album from Yse. There's something else interesting, generally this kind of compilation are pretty well distributed, i'm speaking for France, here it's very difficult to buy psytrance/goa stuffs in a traditionnal offline musicstore , but you were* always finding the yse released . *i'm using past as their french distributor M10 unfotunatly go bankrupt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 There's a need for this kind of label to exist but I think their compiling skills leave much to be desired. I only own two YSE releases out of what, 70? Very little of their output comes across as 'quality' to me. Discerning collectors buy the goods from the original labels in most instances, although for some tastes you may run into one of their ill-named "Goa" compils with a good selection of tracks. My problem is simply that I own the originals the better tracks are taken from in nearly every instance, reducing the value of the purchase significantly. It doesn't help that they've been mooching a ton off of Midijum recently, which is a label that has really gone downhill last year (again, imho).

GaySatanicHippie Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 YSE compilations are not targetedv at trance-heads like us, but at others who dont know the scene and wanna own a "goatrance" CD. They should get credit for that, tzhey are spreading our music and help artists survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 the main thing has been said so far I think, the compilations are not really intended for people really busy with trance but I have to say I like most of their albums, Blue Vortex, Soul Surfers, Herbal Essence, very nice stuff imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rain Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'm not that kinda label guy but I also like soul surfer and blue vortex a lot so ... still blue vortex isn't anymore and they release under the name 'rumble pack' I believe ??? ... the tracks that I've heard from them are not my style... I liked blue vortex before... but don't know if it's still the same label ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
