Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .

Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???). Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age". More "the age that needs love". tracks: Age of Love 1. Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix 2. Sign of the Times remix. 3. OPM remix 4. Boeng remix

I was gonna to tell you tk forget it's age, and hear Germany's equivalent of Leftfield at least. But no they were bigger. I saw this awesome review on discogs which sums it up: *"La diarrhée" contains samples from a documentary (?) on how to treat children who suffer from dehydration and diarrhoea somewhere in Africa. I have no idea what they where thinking. I wish there was an instrumental of that track because it's actually a really great classic techno track. "Die schwarze Zone" contains a whole sci-fi short story about a dark zone forming on Earth in the aftermath of some interstellar catastrophy and some weird lifeforms who build a space rocket there that launches part on mankind into paradise. Also for some reason it's told backwards in the Razormaid remix. The correct lyrics order is found on the original 12" version. But yeah, this is probably the best trance album ever. The title track gets me every time. It's just so hauntingly beautiful. "Live" is one of the craziest rave tracks ever, fake stage cheers and all. "Traumphasen" is my favourite chill out track period. It samples everything from the German "Dark Star" dub to a documentary on the first Gulf War. It feels like the memories of Earth when you leave your home planet behind on an extended journey into outer space. All told I don't know any other album that breathes science fiction as much as this one. It's an absolute gem from the time when techno and trance were still about futurism. What happened? Once they were lauded as the heirs of Kraftwerk. Then Peter Zweier and Torsten Fenslau went huge with their Euro dance phenomenon Culture Beat and that was pretty much the end of LDC. They did one more album a few years later but it only got released on CD and is nowhere close the the brilliance of "Plasma". Torsten Fenslau hat already passed away at that time and LDC was never the same without him. Get this LP and the 12" releases of "Die schwarze Zone" and "T-Raumreise" which have the better versions of both tracks and you can call your LDC collection complete."* TRACKLIST: Intro 1:40 Daydream 5:41 Parsec 5:43 Space 6:08 Plasma 6:56 T-Raumreise (Special Remix Cut) 5:32 La Diarrhée 5:01 Marsch 4:01 Willkommen An Bord 4:29 Die Schwarze Zone (Remix By Razormaid) 6:45 Live 6:27 Traumphasen (Chill Out) 11:31
