Goa Bill Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 X-Dream, Rough & Rush, The Delta, The Pollinator, Fools and Tools and more. Those guys made Germany proud with their ball breaking sound back in the day when Night Psy wasn't a derogatory term. I, personally think that their evolution stopped with the last album that was a bit too electro to my taste. Not necessarily bad but not the X-Dream that i learned to love. So what are your favorites? Mine current favorites are: We Created Our Own Happiness (My default ringtone for over a year now) As a Child... The 2nd Room Panic in Paradise Freak Out Here We're Stoned Def by Delta The Thing Irritant Thorazin The 1st Coming Soon and more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rino Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 OFFICIAL X -DREAM TOP LIST: 1. X-Dream- freak 2. X-Dream- brain forest 3. X-Dream- Our own happiness 4. X-Dream FEAT. Planet B.E.N.- the 5th dimension (live from Paris) -this 16 minute monster slowly builds up and takes me over time after time... Epic! 5. E Rection- Out here we are stoned (X-Dream's true school heart trance mastermix) 6. X-Dream- Thorazin (possibly the only tech trance track I really adore) As you can see, they're all X-Dream tracks, because of my taste, I was never into The Delta, but you'll never catch me saying anything these guys did sucks, just that I tend to stay away from the whole tech/minimal thing, due to my lack of knowledge about it, and consequently, the inability to properly appreciate it. But, I bow my head to these kings. NOBODY has stayed on the scene for so long, and succeeded to make quality music for almost 15 years now. Talent in the true meaning of the word .

Goa Bill Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 Oh yea, Brain Forest! What a classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rino Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Damn it! I always forget something!!! I absolutely and unconditionaly have to add "The frog" which is with one of the above mentioned tunes my top Radio track! Speaking of that album, believe it or not, my favorite moment of the album is actually not any musical part, but the wonderful break and the sudden, perfectly used and placed sample: "Things are moving so fast in my head that i'm starting to edit, like a telegram." I get goosebumps every time I hear it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krell Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 In my opinion the most overlooked X-Dream track is "S.T.O.P" released on a Blue Room Released 12" 1997 - http://www.discogs.com/release/106790 Deep, mysterious and I love it as much now as I did back then. - Krell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are the best of the best. Just realised I have all X-Dream albums I was sure I was missing one but all I'm missing now is the remixes not out yet Favourites from this amazing artist are The 5th Dimension (Live in Paris) The Second Room (A-trip) Our own happiness Radio The Frog Thorazin An artist that's manged to change styles well & not fallen into the trap of making music only to please big record labels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolsk Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Just about everything released by them (as X-dream or as one of their many side-projects or collaborations) between 1996 and 2002 is incredible and groundbreaking. On their own or in various collaborations Marcus if of course the most interesting of the two, but Jan was a part of a Children of Paradise, a side-project that maybe never got the attention it deserved. Their Urban Alien album is an amazing mix of the the successful X-dream baseline and über psychedelic melodies and atmospheres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTP Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Telegram The frog Rain The 1st We Interface Thorazin Out of your control I like 80% of these guys work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filteria Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 mmmmmmmmmmmm X-Dream. Radio (And all its versions) Thorazin Psychomachine Zebra As A Child.. Telegram Pop Thing We Interface Actually X-Dream is the best liveact i've seen. Its the only time i've experienced natural trance (yes, total sober). It was just before Irritant was getting released. Somewhere around Thorazin i started to feel very strange in a marvellous way. The track after was a remix of Radio (I am not sure it was the one released on the Best Album, since i was too much in the music so to speak). Somewhere in the intro with all those introFX and the women sample about the radiostations inside her head, i lost everything around me. I seriously couldn't feel the ground. Came back to life 2 hours later. What a lovely experience PS: Pavel, that pic of yours is really disturbing in a funny way EDIT: I can't believe i forgot the track Coming Soon. One of the best basslines in psytrance history.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seraph Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Ummm, yeah, Rough & Rush are among the most talented producers from Germany. I like all of their projects and most collaborations. They are in the scene from its very beginnings and have been trancing us from 1993. They are cream crop of trance culture. My favourite tracks from them are : CHILDREN OF THE LAST GENERATION, THE 5TH DIMENSION, OUR OWN HAPPINESS, THE SECOND ROOM, ZEBRA, ELEVEN, S.T.O.P., RAIN, PANIC IN PARADISE, RADIO, FREAK, TELEGRAM, PSYCHOMACHINE, THORAZIN, IRRITANT, UNIVERSAL CHAOS, THE 1ST, WE INTERFACE, VIRUS, TRY TO SAVE YOUR SONG, POP, TRAVELLING AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT, THING, AS A CHILD I COULD WALK ON THE CEILING, STANDBY, LOST & FOUND, PACEMAKER... So, yeah, I quite like their work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I kick myself mentally every time I remember sleeping through their set at Symbiosis last September... Im not too familiar with a lot of their stuff but what Ive heard, I dig! I like the robo-vocals on the first track off "We Interface".

K-BAN Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I like a lot of their classics but I just want to mention how genius The Frog is. using its ribbit as a rhythm like that. it sounded best when all the other bits and pieces of the song came into play over it. very nice work there ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
