Right.....wasnt gonna say much on this thread, cos basically lots of peeps have said what I think, but after reading this Im gonna have my say.

This is an old skool site, where people who really APPRECIATE the music come on to talk about it being top and also about how good the "scene" was back in the early 90's. Yes it probably was a lot to do with the pills, but Ive not done owt for over 8 years and Ive been listening to old skool ever since I first heard it and I still rush like mad to the majority of the tunes that were made back then, with no optional extras whatsoever.

Youve started this thread to get people debating about new and old music, then youve criticised everyone for not saying exactly what you want them to say...to be honest it sounds like you like the sound of youre own voice and your opinion is the only one that matters.

I am into all different types of music and I do like some newer dance stuff (altho that is very rare). But this is an old skool site and people come on here to remember the times and to also recreate it. If thats being sentimental and silly, then I for one am proud to be it. I look forward to going to GT every month and now cometogether is here too, Im looking forward to that too. Old skool music makes me happy and this site has introduced me to people who are like minded and very friendly.

Long live old skool I say, and the people who are into it are the friendliest ever (in my experience and probably a lot of other peoples). So if you dont like it and just get off on slagging it and the people off, then why exactly are you here???????

Sweet Sensation (one of the best tunes ever ) xxxxx
I couldn't of put it better myself, well said m8!

Love

I didn't mean to upset anyone, sorry if I have done that. I think this web site is a laff, and a great resource for IDing toones etc. I think my initial point has been lost some what , surely you can see the similarity between this scene (In 2002) and The Northern Soul Scene now, with 40 odd year old blokes dancin for the weekend at pontins talkin about the old days?

One of my other points was a lot of the piano music from the day were resampled/speeded up/repeated cliches that sound dated now and the music was left with no where to go but up its own arse, and thats probably where it should be left really.

If I can't come on an old skool site and make these points, where do I make them, on a Ministryof Sound website? They would be pretty meaningless there as I am specifically debating about Old Skool Piano tunes, which I was led to belive this board specialises in! I come on this board cos its
helpful and is a laff every so often, but I dont base my life on it!!
beleievit or not I am doing 2 versions of airport 89 and sld at the moment, there is no piano in them, and i am attempting to bring these toones into 2002, so im not that negative

You aint upset me mate, just wound me up....

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Its fine to come on here and make these points but dont diss people for them not saying what you want to hear. Of course theres a similarity to the scene today, old skool is what most of todays stuff is based on, it had to bloody start somewhere....

Im very happy that you think this site is a laff, cos that is what its partly about, but some people do base their lives on it (eg. dj's etc..), its called their jobs, and you obviously regard it highly somewhere in your life as you are taking the time out to re-produce tunes, which is a good thing. Just dont forget where all this started from, and dissing it the way you do, is basically like sticking 2 fingers up to us and this site...and I for one wont sit here and take it on the chin. I will always stand up for things I love.

Im glad you are being positive about making tunes and I would love to hear them when youve finished, just to see if you can put your money where your mouth is......

Sweet xx

I'd love to hear you remixage mate, being a DJ and serious vinyl head who likes music old and new from soul to techno, would be well interesting to hear new interpretations of Old Skool what is the best form of music out there and will EVER be imo.

You dont often get new remixes of Old Skool tracks these days but when you do theyre sometimes quite good.

One that spings to mind is

Joe Smooth - Promised Land - Mr Pink remix

What a belter!!

So come on lets hear em, I'd love to play em to all and bloody sundry if theyre good.

Ha ha !! You wont get banned mate... Just seemed like you were sticking your fingers up, the way you were replying to peoples points. Its very hard to interpret what people mean by posts cos its very hard to express emotion.

Your right though sweets it is hard to get the point over in words it gets a bit frustrating sometimes aswell dont u think, when peeps do get the wrong end of the label.

Completely agree with you Grad m8,its a case of saying what you hink about the initial thread without being rude!!

With respect to the optional extras being better then. Well, yes they certainly were and you didnt need as many thats for sure but if you are well err frequent in your use of vendor and also a tad lucky then 8 times out of ten they are still pretty damn good anyway.

But like we have all said, Its the music, the people, the vibe.....who gives a toss if it started 300 years ago, the late eighties or early nineties or next fekkin july!!!! beacuse its the reality which we love.

I have made loads of mates in clubs years ago who I still know today, go to Cream and the most interaction you are likely to et with a stranger is a punch!!!!!!

CASE CLOSED....Long Live Old Skool
