Dr Adamski's Musical Pharmacy (1990, MCA records) see
Could anything be more 1990 than this other than World Cup Italia/Pavarotti/England getting knocked out in the semi finals by penalty kicks (actually to that's pretty much every International Football Tournament)? ? Snap! Dee Lite... Total Recall... This album has aged pretty well, & can anyone resist listening to "Killer", for the gazillionth time?

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".

Leftfield are ranked alongside The Prodigy, Orbital and Underworld for good reason. This album vividly illustrates that reason. Experimental yet free flowing and cool as ice lollies at the same time.
If you own this album on CD the track list might confuse you, as the tracks are in a different order, with a couple of extra tunes ("Cut for Life" which is a vastly upgraded remix/reshuffle of of "Song of life" & "Half Past Dub", this is how they're ordered on the triple vinyl L.P.).

F221st Century Poem
A lad I knew at school as Gareth Guilfoyle, who I later found out was DJ-ing at a rave called "Sunday Skool" from 12-6am (Sun) at an old Chapel & a £2 (+ more if u wanted) fee which was donated to local charities. So much extra went making unique tunes a hybrid of pretty much all the mismatching parts he could cram into a track (honestly rave samples filtered like disco funk cut-ups, garage subs, with techno synths, acid, trancey sounds & vocal hooks/with breakbeat sections) it was great and most had only a few acetates cut for local DJ's. It was a Bangin' night with several others contributing. Last one was in 2009 (I'd moved) after some shithead drunk molotoved the place, after being turned away, for stagger-stalking his ex there. Sad really. Anyway he fell of the radar but he's still doing his thing online, some grifter is uploading ONLY his free mixes to SPEWTUBE. I'm trying to get him on Odysee to livestream sets, but he's doing his own Anti-WEF thing at the moment.
ANYWAY: Although I want a mix of his 90's stuff, which is the really genuis sound, this is still VERY ORIGINAL and hard....
Cybernetika & Xenofish. Both of these dudes smash it, together they trancend whatever you thought the limits of electronic music were. The 2 forerunners even among ultra-label; Ektoplazm's very best. Pioneers, of frantic,
mind blowing, cutting edge, experimental psychedelic Drum & Bass, Psy-breaks, as well as belting out the crazier, more banging darker & sonically innovative variations of Techtrance, Nu NRG, & Psy-trance (such as Twilight, Forest, Morning, Full on and Hitech), with surprisingly melodic ravey hooks in some tuned, hard heavy metal style riffs & bass lines, in others. One of the most essential releases since the beginning of this century (+unlikely to be far outdone, by the end of it, other than by themselves). As if that isn't enough Cybernetika has a tradition of setting the scene of each album with a deep sci-fi backstory, that adds spades of character to it:
*“On the far side of the galaxy, inside a frozen nebula, a new form of raw crystalline matter revealed itself to the human eye. This cryomatter, as we named it, entered our dimension through a quantum rift. It was discovered that this strange substance was designed to eliminate all movement and progress, to put the universe into stasis and to collapse time itself.
Before the stasis began a small team of scientists managed to escape through the rift where they discovered a world beyond their comprehension. Isolated from the effects of the cryomatter, they discovered its source and the powers that control it. In their desperate search for a way to reverse the effect, they managed to find a way to banish the cryomatter and end the stasis.
Through millions of dimensional rifts, this so-called anti-cryomatter was released into our universe…”*
