L.S.G - Netherworld EP
![[image loading]](http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/84/235235.jpg)
Highly influential EP by one of 90s respected trance artists: Oliver Lieb. Impressive synth modulation, driving bassline and a melody which makes you think your orbiting the earth.
Most people familiarize Jules Vernes remix with this release, which I as well think is the best version there is.
Related label: Hooj Choons, you can't talk of 90s House and Trance releases without mentioning Hooj Choons. At one point they dictated what was playing at the clubs, it was that prominent.

Deepsky - Stargazer EP

Impressive EP by Jason Blum and Jesse Scott Giaquinta. The genres varie in this EP from full on goatrance to more relaxed progressive sounds.
The money shots in this EP is the title track 'Stargazer', the remix by Andy Ling. A perfect blend between athmospheric melody and driving beats. My favourite however on this EP is Deepsky's Remix of Dream Traveles most famous track 'Time'. A Structure that builds and builds until 6:25 when the tune reaches its full momentum. Really impressive what a simple bassnote change can do.
Related labels: Rampant Records, Fragrant Records.
Fragrant Records released a collection of Deepsky's works with a couple other producers. Great collection of older Progressive Melodic Sound.

BT - ESCM Album

Honestly speaking, I think that BT's every release from the 90s should be on the essential lists. His sound is diverce, organic, euphoric and driving at the same time. ESCM is a great followup to his first album 'IMA', but featured more complex melodies and more traditional harmonies along with a heavier use of vocals.
The tracklist wreaks of classic stuff with one of the alltime classics 'Flaming June' produced with Paul Van Dyk, 'Remember' featuring Jan Johnstons Vocal and my personal favourite 'Content', a lucid combination of piano and lush athmosphere.
Related label: Perfecto - started by Paul Oakenfold which became soon one of 90s biggest trance labels.
