Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems: Semi 2 Results Gala. 9pm TONIGHT

[ButterTart]

I don't know if I'm mentally prepared for Solar Stone. Where's @Zu-Klara?

 

[ButterTart]

Giving that a listen once this has finished!

 

[ButterTart]

Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Stone's Atlantis Mix). Came 36th, but I'd have cancelled the rate if it didn't qualify.

Fucking majesty.

Fighting in the Moopyrate thread.

 

[ButterTart]

THE trance track as far as I'm concerned. The full version has reduced me to tears.

 

[straightorbroken]

You're well ahead!

Or am I well behind?

I'm still on Da Hool.

I totally forgot I skipped past the strings and the bleeps. Oops.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Da Hool was one I didn’t recognise by title but knew it as soon I pressed play and gave it points.

I haven’t read all the songs through but I don’t think any of mine are through this round yet. Fuckers. You can’t come round to mine for predrinks now.

Fighting in the Moopyrate thread.

The Asexual Goose's good vibes didn't last long enough, we're all at each other's throats again

 

[ButterTart]

There's a vocal version of this called 'It's Alright'. It tries its hardest to be shit, but the original is so fucking good its almost impossible.

 

[ButterTart]

We'll have to wait and see if that trend continues...

 

[straightorbroken]

We must be on Seven Cities now? It's totally knocked me for 6. I can't get over it. It's very me. And this is after I'm bemoaning the flux of instrumentals.

 

[straightorbroken]

This is another new discovery keeper for me tonight.

 

[ButterTart]

@dmlaw smashing it with his nominations.

Robert Miles ft. Pound Shop Enya - One and One. This came NINTH, which was very pleasing indeed.

 

[COB]

RIP Robert Miles

Make that disco very

 

[dmlaw]

I'm three out of three so far tonight. And I shall be highly disappointed if Robert Miles doesn't make it a full house.

 

[COB]

Amazing he was able to get his hands on a Raspberry Pi twenty years before the rest of us.

 

[ButterTart]

We're on Robert Miles.

Listen to the full Atlantis mix of Seven Cities. It's just devastatingly good.

 

[BoysForSeles]

We'll have to wait and see if that trend continues...

Alcatraz better be through or this contest is void.

 

[straightorbroken]

Robert Miles one of the most fuckable non-rappers of 90s dance. Oh and also RIP and all that.

Maria has now morphed into Karen Parry's Polish trance mother. Very upsetting.

 

[dmlaw]

I may be slightly behind, but these songs are all too good to skip a bit to catch up.

 

[ButterTart]

RIP Robert Miles

HOLY SHIT HE'S ACTUALLY DEAD! I thought you were joking!

 

[COB]

Did Maria look exactly the same as Ann Lee, or am I conflating them in my memories?

 

[Kate]

I've forgotten exactly which ones were mine as I think there were several in this semi that someone else nominated first...

 

[ButterTart]

System F - Out of the Blue. This came 37th, and I was terrified because it looked like it wasn't going to qualify at all.

 

[ButterTart]

I've forgotten exactly which ones were mine as I think there were several in this semi that someone else nominated first...

I'll do the rundown of who nominated what again at the end.

 

[straightorbroken]

Out of the Blue is quite the euphoric thud fest. Berlin must have been quite the hot spot for dance music videos, which explains Livinjoyplatz of course.

 

[dmlaw]

HOLY SHIT HE'S ACTUALLY DEAD! I thought you were joking!

Being a dance DJ has a worse safety record than working on the oil rigs.

 

[ButterTart]

I actually think it's illegal for System F not to appear on a trance mix. It's just fundamental.

 

[straightorbroken]

Did Maria look exactly the same as Ann Lee, or am I conflating them in my memories?

With the three 0.5 second close-ups she gets in the video I can confirm this.

 

[COB]

This is making me nostalgic for the Berlin trip ZenG and I took in February

 

[BoysForSeles]

I'll do the rundown of who nominated what again at the end.

Don’t bother

 

[ButterTart]

Being a dance DJ has a worse safety record than working on the oil rigs.

And on the oil rigs they don't have to fend off the advances of Coco Star. They don't know they're born.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

HOLY SHIT HE'S ACTUALLY DEAD! I thought you were joking!

How did you miss this?

 

[ButterTart]

Three Drives - Greece 2000. Another of @Kate's picks, earning itself 26th place.

 

[Alla]

I'm still playing this in the background, waiting for some HOT SHIT to come here to scream.

 

[dmlaw]

I actually think it's illegal for System F not to appear on a trance mix. It's just fundamental.

Much less racist than when he's being Gouryella, as well.

 

[Kate]

YAAAAASSS THREE DRIVES!

Well that's at least three of mine for sure.

 

[ButterTart]

How did you miss this?

I was still so up in the air after Zsa Zsa...

 

[straightorbroken]

Tracey Thorn has seen better days.
