The Age of Love (Age of Love song)
"The Age of Love" is the 1990 self-titled track by Age of Love. It is notable as an early (but far from being the first) popular example of trance music. Released as a single in 1990 on the Belgian label Diki Records, it was produced by Bruno Sanchioni and Giuseppe Chierchia from Italy, with vocals by Karen Mulder. In 1992, the React label released Jam and Spoon's "Watch Out for Stella" remix, which gained more popularity than the original track and opened up opportunities for remixes by artists such as  Paul Van Dyk, and Garry Creen in 1997. 'Watch Out for Stella' was a reference to Jam and Spoon's own track "Stella" which was released around the same time on their 'Tales from a Danceographic Ocean EP' on the legendary Belgian label R&S Records. Stella is the name of Jam aka Jam El Mar's daughter. In 1997, "The Age of Love (The Remixes)" release reached No. 1 on the UK Dance Singles Chart. To this day, the track continues to be remixed and featured on compilations. As of February 2007, the online resource Discogs has cataloged a total  of 73 known releases and 346 appearances on compilations. The track was featured in the hit film "Human Traffic" based on the UK club scene. Sanchioni and Cherchia never released another single under the moniker "Age of Love"; Sanchioni would continue to produce as part of the trance music act B.B.E. Impact and legacy. British hardhouse and trance music record producer Jon the Dentist picked "The Age of Love" (the Jam & Spoon mixes) as one of his favourites, adding "This is a guaranteed floor-filler. It's a classic techno track – probably the first ever proper trance track." Partial listings .
