Found after 17 years!


Back in '95, a buddy of mine copied a tape for me with a great rave mix, but as it is with copied tapes, the quality was rather bad. Nevertheless I was struck by a part of the mix I heard over and over.

Now how could I get a better quality of it?

Since I had access to the Internet I was looking for that mix, I even asked on several websites like last.fm some years ago (with a poorly recorded digital copy from that tape put online).

But today I finally found it!

All began with Digitally Imported radio a couple days ago when they played a track from that same time (Steve Baltes - Naked Brunch, a track I was also looking for). Over at discogs.com I found the compilation CD I had at that time with that track and so I searched on youtube.com for the other tracks from that compilation. And there is another track (Angel Heart - Far far away) I instantly remembered to be just before my favorite part of the mix I was looking for.

Thanks again to discogs.com I was able to find the mix after 17 years:

Rave Computer - Megamixed by Chill'n'Force

And my favorite part was made with those 2 tracks:

Steve Mason Experience - Shallow Grave (Carl Cox's Remix)
Mo-Tune - Give Me

The tracks on youtube.com

Back to the "roots"

And back again to Ubuntu. I don't know why, but I always come back to Ubuntu.

After 3 months on openSUSE I got once more a confirmation that RPM based distributions aren't for me. I just don't like them - or I'm way too spoiled with DEB based distributions.

So I switched to LMDE and fulfilled a long-time wish to install a rolling release Debian Testing. But unfortunately the testing has sometimes bugs, and it gave me from time to time the impression, that even if I love to live on the edge with my PC, I should stick with something more ... proven ... stable ... familiar.

So this time I chose PinguyOS, build on top of Linux Mint and Ubuntu with a heavy load of PPAs and much software pre-installed.

First thing I had to do was to deactivate some PPAs, de-install some Thunderbird plug-ins and ready I was.

I'm always coming back to Ubuntu, no matter how many other distributions I try out, nothing gives me as much satisfaction as an Ubuntu based one.

It's only too bad that the ElementaryOS release I'm waiting for will be based on the next LTS (12.04) release of Ubuntu. Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea to release a stable version, but the waiting sucks...

Until then I hope I will be wise enough to be patient and wait.
