As you can see in the spoiler above, the album contains 55 tracks. It mainly covers the trance and eurodance (90's style) genres, but it also includes several tracks of multiple other genres as well, such as house, acid techno and even industrial. The album also includes two UK hardcore tracks that were not included on the hardcore compilation back in April. One of them is a remix of Metal of Time, from my TotKotM power metal album, and the other is a short remix of my popular Grooving to the Melody song. Some previously unreleased demo works (even a scrapped song called "Welcome back in 1996") are also included at the end. Many of the songs are available in higher-than-before audio quality.

The Omnidance word in the cover picture is made up from the original Omnidance logo I used for my two audio-cassettes of the same name (which had my entire 2002-2004 original work except Ultra Beat and Apocalypse), with only 3D being added.

A Decade of Omni Dance is available on Bandcamp. The entire album (and the two large pics it comes with) is the same price as the hardcore compilation from April. This is also my last ever contribution to the electronica/dance/rave music scene, as I have completely moved on to power metal music producing now (I even have a 2nd album of that genre in the works right now).

Enjoy!

Thanks for an awesome website.

Haha, that's pretty cool! And that are a lot of tracks O.o

Yeah I was expecting 45 tracks but eventually I managed to get higher quality sound from some original tape recordings and decided to include them at the end, and I decided to include some demo songs and stuff that were either not released or sounded different.

By the way Welcome Back in 1996 is a scrapped song project from 2008.

The album only misses two tracks I created: Ultimate End 2003 and S.O.S. Trance. Ultimate End 2003's original tape recording quality was so horrible that it was not even close to recoverable by digital remastering and there was no re-recorded version available. It isn't as great and not much different than the 2002 version anyway: It's one pitch higher, has reverb on the kickdrum rather than the bass and the middle part is a bit different. As for S.O.S Trance, while it is the original version of S.O.S Hardcore, it sounds very similar to a French song by Marie Denise Pelletier (even the pitch). I didn't want to risk copyright troubles. I even considered omitting The Winter Trance for the same reason (it sounds a bit like Rhythm is a Dancer), but since it had many different parts besides the instruments and progression (unlike S.O.S trance which could be flat-out mashed up with the French song), and due to how popular it is, I decided to include it anyway.

You know, I will never understand where composers get their song melodies from.

55 different songs?!  As a composer it makes me wonder: "How is that even possible!"

Nice!

[DJ Omnimaga]

Well, by 2009 or so I was actually starting to run out of ideas for that music genre . I guess if I didn't lose interest in making dance music I could have made some remixes of my metal songs, though. A lot of my stuff is inspired from video game music.

I think they need to change the way their pricing is calculated >.<.
