Ministry... Your taking the pi$$!

Has anyone noticed how many albums Ministry Of Sound have been churning out this year? I remember the days when you got an Annual every xmas, a Dance Nation in the summer. Simple as that. The albums were so good & meaty back then that it took you 6 months to get em out of your stereo...

Its only May and ive counted 10 complilations (so far)... 'The Clubbers Guide To Ibiza Parts 1&2' will be out soon (one for the start of the season, one for the end, no im not kidding) and the 'Ibiza Annual' (i own a few, they used to be good). Along with yet another 'Chilled' title and probley another dissapointing 'Trance Nation'. From 1995-2000 i collected the Dance Nation/Trance Nation & Annuals religiously. Now the MOS trademark just stands for Commercial Sellout.

Just to prove my point, heres the albums i can remember from this year, i bet theres more, so please, post them here. Theres must be more than 10!... thats one every 2 weeks! Surprised

21st Century Disco
The Annual 2002
Clubbers Guide To Breaks
Dance Nation 2002
Trance Nation 2002
The Spring Anuual 2002
Karma Collection II
Defected Sessions Volum 14
Back To The Old Skool [Hip Hop]
Back To The Old Skool [Ibiza]

the label seems to get worst than ever, Trance nation which is suppose to be one of their best compilation years ago now is bringing us the most commercial nonsense music. Hopefully now i can look at the tracklisting and judge the compilation, instead of giving us something fresh and interesting and underground tunes, keeps recycling the same old awefull cheesy tracks and calls it a new compilation, of course by doing this they will release more than other labels.

Also some are pretty damn good like Trance Nation America mixed by Tylor and Jimmy van m, that was an awesome double mixed cd everyone must own. Neutral

for some reason the ppl in power think we like listening to comnmercial pants... Razz

it shows by the selection of tunes on the CD's... cos if there were gonna do an old skool CD.. would the best idea not to be to create a hardcore / happy hardcore CD.. not shitty early 90's commercial b01locks ??? and why when they have ferry or whoever making trance nations do they not let him put songs in that he'd be playing when out and about round europe when playing @ gatecrasher, TE, Cream e.t.c..

also.. the radio station i listen to "galaxy 105" used to play for 4 hours every evening what ud expect to hear in a good club.. upfront trance and hard house.. BRILLIANT.. but.. the ppl in charge thort.. NO NO NO.. this is not what the listeners want... they want commercial music threw them 4 hours.. ASWELL as the commercial shite thats played 9-6 threw the day.. WTF !!! Twisted Evil

.. im sorry.. but both examples show that the guys in power think we all love commercial dance !! Rolling Eyes

i think that the actual club event shave fell behind so much over the past couple of years that as already said, this is their money maker now.lets just hope gatecrahser doesnt go the same way! and some other respected clubs...

I'd be ashamed to put my name to them tunes... They really are becomming bastardish in their ways. The tripe we're expected to buy, no wonder ppl are using alternative means of getting music, We should have more choice to buy and less cheese, they should take a leaf out of ID&Ts releases, good quality stuff

I can make my own decisions, don't need to be told, "this is the stuff you should listen to, if you like breaks/trance/nrg"...

Thats not a ministry album is it?

<--Ferry_Addict--> · **Posted:** Fri Jul 26, 2002 10:42 pm

they churn out so many CD's cos there run by money grabbing accountants, i mena they even do there own mini hifis and headphones!!!

what kind of muppet buys it? ive never in my life heard them make a good CD, there made by mixing software, the tracks are always old, chart rubbish or the poor mixes and they always sign the name of some money grabbing DJ to it.

if you have one of there CD's you should be disgusted with yourself, there are so many quality CD's out there, like the blackhole series, trancemaster compilations and the many mix and compilations from zyx like sunshine radio for example. but these cd's arnt after money, thats why there not real popular, cos there not getting stuck infront of you with posters and adverts and other fancy crap.

some should take MOS out, id do it i had some explosives Mad

do not buy MOS or Tiday Traxx or Nukleuz. the people who buy this are the ones who will destroy this music thats so great.
