Really liking Now Ibiza but a shame to see the wrong mix of 9PM (Till I Come) used and what is that version of Freed From Desire? She seems to sing the word ‘money’ more accented than usual, have never heard this version!

 

I also prefer the Airscape remix of Silence, which was the version that was drove sales in the UK at the time, even though I suppose the Tiesto mix is more popular these days.

 

I know! And the annoying thing is both those versions of the Delerium and ATB tracks that became hits in the UK are both readily available on Spotify as well. That's one thing that's frequently annoyed me about the legacy/spin off NOWs under Jenny Fisher's book, that they've neglected to use the correct single versions. I've got Now 90s and it frustrates me that I have to skip both '9PM' and Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much' as they're both the wrong versions.

Well that is the beauty of Spotify. I've made a Now Ibiza playlist and it has the UK mix of 9PM. You can follow it if you want as it is public. :P

I brought NOW Ibiza and it's okay, but it doesn't beat NOW 90s Dance :wub:

 

 

Remember being torn about either getting this or "Anthems: 90s" by MOS, but I think I made the right decision :wub:

The only mistake they made was putting the 80s version of “Good Life” instead of the 90s version as described

I don't mind late 1980s songs on 1990s compilation CDs, as it's perfectly realistic that those songs would still have been on the radio and in clubs into the early 1990s - the annoyance I have is the other way around when they stick stuff from the 2000s on. I went to a "90s Night" in London a few years ago and they were playing the likes of So Solid Crew and Mis-Teeq, which didn't make any sense.

I had that earlier in Butlins when I heard So Solid Crew being played during a 90s weekend

I hope we get another spin off before NOW NOW

So that you can complain about it and say what they should have done?

No. Because we expect to get at least one or two instead of waiting till November for one and besides, the next spin off might give us a sneak peak of NOW 101

A good idea for a NOW spin-off is NOW Heaven and include it entirely with artists who died such as Aretha Franklin, Avicii and Michael Jackson etc and for NOW NOW, they should change it to 101 hits from 101 NOWs and track 101 to be a song which will be on NOW 101

Something strange I discovered today when trying to prepare the review thread for Now 94 is that all the Wikipedia pages for each volume in the series, except for the first and fourth, have had their pages taken down from the site. Is this intentional, or would it be a mistake... all I know is that valuable information is now gone. :angry:

They did it intentionally

They did it intentionally

But why?

But why?

I don’t understand why either. If you click on the edit history, it should tell you why they removed it

To make everyone get the Now app instead :kink:

But why?

I investigated. The discussion (and/or lack thereof) is pretty all-over-the-place, but these 2 pages summarise it:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Now_That...Now!_albums

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Art..._67_(UK_series)

 

tl;dr it seems the main argument is that they're not notable enough, as they don't get reviews or 'significant coverage' to provide anything more than tracklists and chart data to put in the articles. I understand the intention, but it feels misguided to me because I can't see how anyone possibly benefits from useful, accurate information being removed.

 

More promotion for Discogs, I suppose. I just realised you can view all 100 covers on 1 page *.* I'm not sure if Discogs has the track lengths on every single one, but I think the hitparade.ch database has it for most (maybe all?) of them. The former Wikipedia pages are still viewable via the history pages too, luckily (for example for Now 70).

that's annoying, but at least you've already prepared the Tracklist formatting for your reviews (as used in Now Buzzjack nominations) I guess? and Discogs seems to offer the same information.

Oh thanks Rush for investigating further, I think I have all I need for now, but I would often use Wikipedia for the convenience of it. Perhaps more people will view my Now reviews for such “useful” information in future! ;)

 

It’s taken me 47 days since the release of Now 100 to get around to going out and purchasing this volume on CD! :o

 

Not really loving up to my resident name of a true “Now Stan” leaving it this long, but glad I eventually got round to it.

 

The real question for me is... will this be the final ever Now volume I buy brand new from the shops... or better yet... will this be the final ever CD I purchase brand new from the shops in my lifetime thanks to the streaming age??? :o

 

#mindblown

Is that how much CDs cost? :o $26.82 when converted for me, no way would I spend that much on a CD :lol:
