Re: when trance wasn't so bad

i should get some old mixes like this out for my drive to work....

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

I loved Platipus too Reso. Both Waah! and Bluebottle where great tracks. We saw the Platipus tour at the State Palace here in NOLA back then. Crazy night.

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

Nice. I bet that was fun.

[QUOTE=clintlove;953267]trance = tiesto right?[/QUOTE] I went to see Tiesto when was I into trance and I still didn't like him. I liked AVB also Marcus Schultz ??

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

I've heard some decent newer trance on Proton Radio lately. It had been a few months since I had last tuned in to Proton, but the last 5 days I've been listening here and there and there's always a trance(ish) mix on there it seems, and they aren't so bad. I think like anything the contrasting bpm sometimes is a nice change.

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

I'm pretty well over it now:lol: Although the right track, in the right place, in the right mix can be good !! :D

[QUOTE=DIDI;953285] Although the right track, in the right place, in the right mix can be good !! :D[/QUOTE]

so true

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

I like the proggy or vocal side of trance.

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

one of the few trance vinyls i have and for me one of the best trance records ever made. it's a push aka m.i.k.e. allias

^^Hmm I never thought of that track as trance.

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

[url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1048"]Gabriel & Dresden[/url] had some good trance.

[video=youtube;yXwcMAGhgRA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXwcMAGhgRA[/video]

But of course Mindcircus was great on its own.

This is one of my all time faves:

[video=youtube;qLrzAFq3tF0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrzAFq3tF0[/video]

But I think it's more proggy than trance.

Can't beat this classic:

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

I have to say that I was a big trance fan around 2000. Some lovely tunes out of my collection that took me into space when I was a little teenager ^^:

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

one of the better trance compilations from recent years.i was really impressed, because its quite trancey but not cheesy at all imo. volume 2 was released some days ago, you can find a preview here [URL]http://soundcloud.com/solarstone[/URL]

Re: when trance wasn't so bad

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6232[/ATTACH]

i have said it 1000 of times before, but PvDs politics of dancing is one of the best progressive-trance mixes out there. 10 years old now, but still sounds fresh. it still gets regular plays 8)

Re: when trance wasn't so bad
