Retro Comp Vol.1 on DAT Records: Analog Dreams
The first compilation that I have co-compiled on DAT Records with label owner Federico Draeke is available at the DAT Records website. The CD features 9 alternate mixes of classic tracks from the 90s, only one of which was previously available (but extremely rare), the others of which were incredibly hard to come by even for the most ardent DAT traders. With the full cooperation and enthusiastic support of all the music producers, we were able to obtain the best possible source material (though some were from our personal archive) and fascinating background stories to the releases themselves, which are written up in the booklet. Included are some amazing insights, including a previously not-heard detail as to how Simon Posford chose the name Hallucinogen for his legendary project!
The incredible tracklist:
1 Hallucinogen – LSD ’93
2 Space Tribe – The Great Spirit (Original Mix)
3 Doof – We Are Free (Desk Mix)
4 Slinky Wizard – Funkus Munkus (Original Mix)
5 Green Nuns Of The Revolution – Ring Of Fire (Extended Mix)
6 Total Eclipse – Free Lemonade (Live in Paris 1995)
7 Etnica – Full On (Original Mix)
8 Prana – Voyager 2
9 Nervasystem – Whirling Dervish (Kaleidoscope Mix)
Here is an interview that label owner Draeke and I gave with DJ Sunborn in Greece on his Tales of Goa program on Dice Radio:
You not only get to hear both of us talking about the releases but also hear previews of all of the tracks as well. Tune in, and do buy this amazing CD to support this excavation of the DAT mines and the release of these gems from our musical past.
