2011: New Year / Old School

So, I'm rummaging around my harddrive and I came across a mix I created way back. It's about 45 mins of continually mixed trance/progressive trance. The mix has survived at least 2-3 computer crashes, so I never got around to saving higher than 128K. =o/

Feel free to download! - No worries, no virus here; I don't roll that way. (Right-click the link - and select "Save As" or similar on the drop-down)

Enjoy!

Alas, I've spent enough time with the game to get an overall feel. Definitely, one of the best arcade racers I've played (even with its flaws).

However, along with the visual awesomeness that comes with playing, one dominant aspect is the game's audio and music soundtrack. Clearly, Disney Interactive and Blackrock Studio put some thought and effort into this.

Except for the "Intro Sequence" video, the remaining are videos I created for kicks. -Enjoy!

Enjoy Trance?

While rummaging through my hard drive, I found this little gem.

A Trance mix I created way back in 2005. I had come across an awesome mix by Toby Doran, and got inspired. It's about 45 mins long.

Featuring music from Cass, Delerium, Peter Lazonby, Armin Van Buuren & others.

Jarre revisited...

Many, many eons ago, I recall going into a record shop - back then, albums/LPs were in full display.  I was hankerin' for some "space" music for some reason.  Being a creature of music, enjoying all types, this seemed to be the norm.

On this day, the following caught my eye.

..and thus I was introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre.

A great... no, wait... GENIUS composer of electronic music.  When I discovered these works, he was virtually unknown.  Now, a quick search on YouTube - and he's no longer obscure.  He's known for the electronic genre and city-wide concerts - though, it appears the concerts (at least to my knowledge) have become less frequent. (Would of loved to have attended "The 12 Dreams of The Sun" outdoor concert which herald in the year 2000. - sigh...)

This past weekend, I came across an old CD "Oxygene 8" which was a set of mixes showcasing a track for the then upcoming "Oxygene 7-13".  Made some time and re-mixed the CD into one track.

Next step is to come up with appropriate visuals in terms of video so as to coincide with the mix.  Soon, I shall share this with others hoping to add to the growing collection of Jarre related videos on YouTube.

Stay tuned!
