Original Record of the Year: N-Trance - Set You Free
I said at the time I was reluctant to pick "Set You Free" as my record of the year but felt like I had to because of the impact it had on my music tastes.
I was thinking along the lines of if N-Trance and everybody associated with this record died in a plane crash straight after this was released then they'd all be fondly remembered. I've heard this too many times but maintain it's still a great record.
The problem is N-Trance never really made another decent records. Some were alright but most were terrible. Vocalist Kelly Llorenna made even worse records. It's also on AATW records who are responsible for some of the worst dance records ever made.
Yet this record was strong enough to hold its own. Or is it?
New Record of the Year: The Prodigy - No Good
The fact of the matter is it wasn't just one record that made me decide to become a raver. The Prodigy played their part in that and "No Good" was certainly a record that got me into rave.
More to the point though I do think this is a better record that "Set You Free". I think it's aged better too, helped by the fact its not overplayed. At the time though I'd play this a lot.
