It's Friday. While everyone's in a good mood, put up stuff you like but wouldn't admit in public. I'll start with this Jason Nevins number, I'm In Heaven...

Good call, awful cheesy trance but I have listened to it. On a similar note, I must confess to always liking Nalin and Kane's 'Beachball'...stop laughing...

Oh yeah. Hated their first couple of songs, but loved the hands in the air bit of 'La la la hey hey', and then they kinda disappeared.

I heard it was that their mother was disgusted by the music they were making and singing about,so they decided to pack it in,maybe a rumour but who knows???

Judging by the name of their greatest hits compilation in more recent years, they were at it again...

lot of 90 chart trance that everyone else blackballs for being chart mostly

SteveDon · 13-02-2009 5:15pm

Arman Van Helden - You Don't Even Know Me
Mauro Picotto - The Lizard
The White Room - Andy Moor and Adam White

These cheesy numbers have a certain charm to them, would never admit to it in public tho

What the...?

Gerroudovit. They are bona fide classics. Sounderson was a legend. Maybe Armand has had a few electro stinkers alright, but liked that one.

Snap may be known for cheesy Europop with ridiculous lyrics (come on, 'Im serious as cancer'?), but I liked this number

I disagree, but then again I am a fan of Inner City and Saunderson. Maybe some of it is nostalgia based. I will be more willing to betray Armand, though I have slammed the floorboards to My My My.

SteveDon · 13-02-2009 5:52pm

To put this in perspective, I was born the year Good Life was released and only heard the song for the first time a few years back, and compared to anything else i like (labels like autist, snork, igloo etc) it sounds cheesey.

Ive got into many an arguement with old schoolers before, they lecture me about detroit and how it was the best thing ever, Im sure it was, at the time, but now its not relevant really in my opinion because it was after my time.

As gear gets better, sounds get better, and old sounds start to become cheesy

I disagree, I think a good tune is a good tune even if its banged out on a lute, but it's one for the old skool debate thread perhaps.

I'm willing to concede this was cheese, but I liked it...

SteveDon · 13-02-2009 6:04pm

Well the main reason i decided to include it was because of a recent experience i had with the song.

Was at an after party recently with a few djs playing, and the lad who owned the decks needed a piss break or something and gave the decks to some other chap who was beging him for a go all night.

The lad starts mixing and alls going well until about 10 minutes later when he slaps in good life, i actually like the song and understand saundersons importance to the genre, but the looks of shock and horror from the techno anoraks was too much, i explicitly recall some saying "what is this chart cheese?", moments later the main lad came back from the bog walks into the room slaps down the fader and says to your man "appreciate the effort mate"

FLYNN-DOG · 13-02-2009 6:21pm

Sure it was sampled on Luciano's Fabric album - so still relevant!

FLYNN-DOG · 13-02-2009 6:22pm

Oohhhh.....my bad......I'm not sure if thats true....I'll investigate now!

Now that is a silly argument-just becuase it is old doesnt make it irrelevant
So Bach, the beatles etc aren't relevent?

Not at all. A lot of today's producers are using retro sounds/synths to produce cutting edge tracks.

That song was never cheese. It was an underground track before it crossed over. Just because a track crosses over and gets played to death doesn't mean it's cheese.

Yeah your right there, dont know what i was thinking, i was actually making a bassline on my mc-303 while i wrote that

ah now, you cant call that cheese, thats classic trance, the start of the trance wave that swept the charts from '98 on. if your calling that cheese you might as well stick binary finary in there, and da hool, and and and,,,,
(starts to wonder what was the track that started the whole trance movement into the charts was, and can only come up with ATB - 9PM (till i come))

"Children" by Robert Miles? Maybe?

Zascar · 14-02-2009 9:41am

Ah come on lads, I agree with Francois, you can't call a track cheesey cause its old.

"Inner City - Good Life" and "Armand Van Helden - You don't evne know me" are legendary tracks that were huge in their day but I would hardly call them cheesey...

I posted this in the last thread - this is seriously cheesey/handbad but I think its a great tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j67M1QoBqrY&feature=related

jonny68 · 14-02-2009 2:46pm

I still like this track cheesy or not,such a feel good tune:o:D
I have fond memories of lisntening to this in the Terraza in Space, Ibiza in 2006.

Think Tirabaralla was right, for me Robert Miles was to blame started the period when trance became popular chart fodder.

Tirabaralla · 16-02-2009 2:59pm

I love "Children" as one of my fave songs ever (especially the dream version), so I don't blame him at all, personally

holton · 16-02-2009 8:54pm

"Children" isn't a bad tune, but by far the best version is the original mix imo.

I have Haddaway's greatest hits album, and I rather heart it. I'll also always have a soft spot for 2Unlimited (and a hard spot for Anita...)

i think the concensus is that it was system f-out of the blue that started the chart assault

I would have thought that was 2 or 3 years after Children got to no. 1, and I thought it was even later than all that stuff by Paul Van Dyk's 'For an Angel' (which must mark the peak of that trance chart era), Ian Van Dahl, Chicane, ATB, Nalin and Kane etc. etc.

most mags will quote system f as the real starting point for the huge popularity amongst the mainstream media.of course there was trance in the charts before that but any mags ive read has always stated that.not that mags are a reputable source or anything

17-02-2009 2:50pm

And now you can write to them and correct them!

I guess one has to define what they mean by the chart trance era. For me it was 97/98/99 when every second week it seemed like For an Angel or Cafe Del Mar or Saltwater or Beachball or 9pm Till I Come or 1998 was hitting the top 5 in UK and Irish charts and everyone knew their uplifting and euphoric trance, even those of us who didn't like it that much cos it was fairly cheesy and lots of the tunes sounded the same to me. At that time even trance songs were used in ad campaigns.

Tirabaralla · 17-02-2009 10:31pm

Personally I can talk about Italy...I remember Children and Fable where HUGE in discos and on radios, but then I am not at all an expert, I am more a metalhead a grunge child than a dance person, tbh...lol

Tirabaralla · 19-02-2009 3:13am

Sorry for the double post but I remembered that I LOVE this song (only for the brave ones!):
