Run, RUN very fast and don't look back.............

Sorry, no.

It is perhaps a it too melodic and "nice"?

Vocals a bit weedy sounding as well

I prefer my trance slower, darker and dirty, something like Autonnomic Dream Remote by RND Technolgies is more my cup of tea.

98-01 was the best period.

I have Anjunabeats...Volumes 1-5, Worldwide Vol 1, Above and Beyond- Tri-State.

The Thrillseekers Vol 1 &2- brilliant

Darren Tate...DT8 project.

Horrid stuff

[oobster]

Downloaded some Above & Beyond stuff from iTunes recently after I heard 'Good For Me' on a DJ andamo compilation late last year. Excellent stuff.

Jonathan Seal used to come out with some good mixes too, but I haven't downloaded any for a while (his website was offline for quite a wee while).

I used to despise trance but after spending a few months in the netherlands who on the whole love their trance I cant get enough of it. A lot of people believe trance is just fast music but if listened to properly you can really get into it and appreciate the ins and outs of a track.

I even remember some musical experts saying that trance has deep underoinnings of classical music and and even compared some of the composers of trance to having a similar musical awareness to famous clasical composers.

Nah, that's miles from the Isle of Burberry my friend

I like that sort of music too (currently arranging earphones so I can listen to stuff in the car) but I do normally prefer stronger vocals/darker sound as other have said

ETA: I'm off now to look up some of the stuff mentioned here

I love Trance - particularly the really melodic uplifting stuff... and yes, I agree that it all sounds the same... but then every can of your favourite beer tastes pretty much the same too... doesn't stop you liking it or wanting more.

Magik 6 by Tiesto is probably about as good as the genre gets imo.
More of a prog man myself though. Check out Cattaneo's Sequential albums.
Preferably far, far away from speed cameras.

Completely off topic, but seeing the pics of your motor, you're not the man of the infamous astra detailing thread are you?
If you are then I'm afraid we can't agree on anything.

I'm with a previous poster on this subject; '98 - '01 was the best period for Trance. How I remember this, I don't know because most of the time I was listening to the stuff I was either exquisitely caned or chemically enhanced

Yet.

I still love it. My i-Pod currently has two sections: Trance & Classical, and I can see similarities between the two genres. Imagine a classical symphony. The composer uses certain sections of the orchestra in certain sections of the symphony; some parts have brass as the main driver with strings and woodwind providing a gentle background counterpoint. Other sections of the symphony will have strings providing a strong melody, whilst brass and woodwind serve up a quiet harmony.

With Trance, IMVHO, it's somewhat similar. The "composer" brings in and drops out of the tune certain loops that all add to the overall picture. Sometimes a melody will be introduced, then an appropriate harmony, then the harmony will drop back a bit, then a percussive counterpoint will come in to the mix, then......well that's how I see it anyway.

Couple of favourite Trance driving tunes for me:

Slow to start with, but builds nicely.....

Oakey's instrumental re-mix is better, but this is still good....

Classic!

I have a very good friend who is classically trained Clarinetist - as in is paid well to play in orchestras

And also dabbles in Trance. Actually composing the stuff. Says the fundamentals are the closest of any musical genre

[TheStoat]

Dizee, do you listen to DI.fm at all? I find it can be a bit hit and miss but there have also been some amazing sessions on there...

Bigggg Tune!

I prefer more upbeat hi energy trance. One of my fav tracks is Tiestos version of Binary Finary 1998

Armin van Buren is good, and some of his state of trance sets are sick

Magik 6 track 7!

ETA: Quoted the wrong post. It was that Maor levi tune

Seeing van buuren live was probably my most disappointing club experience ever. Can't remember what album it was, but he basically just lifted a massive session out of it. End of the night he was reduced to signing records and handing them out to stop the dancefloor clearing entirely.
His albums are pretty good tho.

I believe track 7 of magik 6 is silence. Excellent choice sir.

[baz1985]

Not too keen Tiesto's latest stuff- Beautiful Things (Andain)/Adagio for Strings (William Orbit)/ Surburban Train. Prob my faves.

Lange (esp. Drifting Away)
4 Strings- Take me away
Rank 1 (Symsonic Album- Aussie import is brilliant: Try Awakening (my fave driving tune...apex to apex floor it!...Airwave is a given)
Gabriel and Dresden
OceanLab (Above and Beyond)

On a couple of occasions...Lady asks 'what type of music do you listen to?'...I've replied 'trance'....'oh so you like 'Cascada''....Doh!

Ok now well my views on trance is that it is a noise created for white guys who cannot dance .if you have been listen to it for 6 years im not being funny but shouldnt you be lobotomised by now?
