Listening notes
Dance Opera Vinyl Trip 9 is a 1997 vinyl release issued on the Dance Opera label under catalog number DO 503. The record collects four tracks spanning the electronic, tech house, and trance genres, presenting a cross-section of club-oriented styles that were circulating in that period.
Side A opens with "Innocent Games (Egoist Mix)," running seven minutes and thirty-eight seconds, followed by "Barbarella" at six minutes and thirty-one seconds. The designation of the first track as a named mix suggests at least one alternate version of the track existed, though no further detail about the originating release is available here. Side B carries "Better Times (Part 2)," for which no duration is documented in the available data, and closes with "Suburban Trancemission" at six minutes and thirty-seven seconds. The title of the final track blends a geographic reference with genre terminology in a manner consistent with naming conventions common in trance releases of the era.
The compilation falls within Dance Opera's Vinyl Trip series, with the numeral nine indicating this was at least the ninth installment under that banner. Beyond the catalog number, label, year, and track listing, the available documentation does not extend to performer credits, producers, or country of manufacture.
As a various artists release, the record does not foreground a single act, which was a common format for label samplers and DJ tools during the mid-to-late 1990s electronic music market. The four-track configuration across two sides was a practical format for extended dance edits intended for club or DJ use.
No additional verified details regarding this release are available for inclusion at this time. Researchers and collectors seeking further information on personnel or pressing specifics should consult primary documentation.
