Oi, now there's a frood who knows where his towel's at!

Thanks to the both of you! I'm happy that you take an interest in the mix. It took quite a while and endells pain to the ears to go through those Giga-piles of 90s trash with only so much as the occasional ray of hope in between. [/self-pity] Ah, wth, it WAS a bit fun, too.

I should add, maybe, that the tracklist is quite "Teuto-centric", i.e., I chose the tracks based on their popularity in Germany at the time, and lots of the tracks contain German "lyrics", a.k.a., samples.

Re: Everybody Was Euro-Dancing
This did make me smile...

"Everybody knew Eurodance was a plague. And everybody danced along anyway.

Listen to a mix of some of the most abominable, yet perversely seducing, electronic gems from the early to mid-90s:"

Re: Everybody Was Euro-Dancing
Fuck me, what an awful mix. Or rather, im sure the mixing from track to track is impeccable. But i'd rather drink paint than listen to this. I lived through this once and the scars are only just healing. This has no ironic / kitsch value for me. Just pain. If this is a cry for help you just have to say, and we'll send you some decent music.

Call me a music snob if you like but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Re: Everybody Was Euro-Dancing
Although I find the music awful, I grew up with it so this mix is pure nostalgia. But I can't listen to it more than once, and I skip regularly :P

Re: Everybody Was Euro-Dancing
Sorry, nothing to do with Hitler. Nothing to do with nostalgia. This brainless drivel was awful then and it still is. Age doesnt always improve things, and this is a fine example of that.

You can't polish a turd.

I praise your nerves and ears for having the strength to listen to this rubbish in order that other masochistic fools can also indulge in self hurt.

I do see merit in the videos for these songs because they are so bad, but only when you play other music instead of the original tracks over the top. Then you can indulge in nostalgia for bad music without having yours ears bleed.

Re: Everybody Was Euro-Dancing
btw what did you use to make this mix and where did you get the tracks?
a technical thing: the sound is quite glitchy in places (probably a timestretching artifact) which makes it kind of annoying to listen to to be quite honest.
