300 Good "Trance" Songs
Submitted by Trinithis on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 13:35

- This is a dated list. For more recent opinions of mine, check my other lists.
- Most songs on this list are trance, but some will be house and other EDM genres. The list is not ordered in any particular fashion. (It may be aplhabetized or 'albumized' in areas, but basically, the list is organized the way I encountered the songs in my folders.) I will eventually label each song's genre as best I can as well as giving it a year. New songs will simply be appended to the end of the list.
- Clips 001-040
- Clips 041-080
- Clips 081-120
- Clips 121-160
- Clips 161-200
- Clips 201-240
- Clips 241-280
- Clips 281-305
- I will make another list based off this one - only that it will be majorly trimmed with a heavy-duty weed whacker. Enjoy!

No Mahadeva, or Love Simulation?
What about...
Hallucinogen - LSD
Shpongle - Dorset Perception
Orbital - Remind
Love Simulation and Hallucinogen are on the list. I forgot about Mahadeva :D, and as for Dorset Perception and Remind, I'm not sure I have them. Will listen.
Thanks for the suggestions, though next time, please ctr-f to make sure I don't have them.
More songs are coming soon as well.
I did Ctrl F, and it's on as Love Stimulation.
Also, Belfast.
That's because it is Stimulation and not Simulation ;)
Keep em coming if you want to toss more at me, though limit it to about 10 at a time until I get a chance to hear them.
Offshore - Chicane
The Gift - Way Out West
Divine Moments of Truth - Shpongle
Kites - Ultraviolet
Suburban Train - Tiesto
Born Slippy Nuxx - Underworld
Night of the Jaguar - Aztec Mystic
Liebe (Red) - Cosmic Baby
Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes
William Orbit - Water from a Vine Leaf (maybe too prog housey)
I'm sure you've heard most of them, but they aren't on the list.
The list itself is a good idea too, I'm gonna try to get every song in the best quality I can.
I've heard the majority of them. Unless it's supposed to sound that way, my version of Night of the Jaguar sounds like it's a bad quaility and because of that I never listened to the whole thing.
On the whole, songs with lyrics don't do it for me, which was the reason why trance appealed to me when I started. Of course there are exceptions, like You Are Sleeping, Southern Sun, and others. But more often than not, I just feel 'meh':
Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes
Born Slippy Nuxx - Underworld
If you are talking about the Kites on Northern Exposure, I'm not sure about it. I will add Fuzzy Logic's Obsession though.
I haven't heard the original Water from a Vine Leaf. I do like the mix on NE so I'll look forward to it.
Fair enough.
Water from a Vine Leaf is really prog house, but give it a listen anyway.
You Are Sleeping was not a good example as the guy just talks. To clarify, I like vocals, just not actual singing so much.
Oh I'm sorry about that! I did check for other tracks but somehow missed out LSD. One more recommendation for the moment.
Solar Quest - Acid Air Raid
Is your taste in trance more towards the classic,acid and goa side or towards the progressive and minimal side?
The progressive, neo, minimal side. Especially minimal.
I like the others as well, but I'm haven't gotten into hardcore acid yet. For example I would have Josh Wink's Higher State of Consciousness except that I'm not into the high-pitched part that comes in halfway into the song.
I do like Acid Air Raid though. That was hiding from me in some obscure folder.
On a side note, I think I like Psy more than Goa. But then again I have little of either.
Dorset Perception ie AWESOME! Thanks for suggesting that puppy.
I think HSOC is great, the higher pitched the better! but its great acid breaks, I won't classify it as trance.
Actually my tastes are the opposite of yours, I like the acid, and I know nothing about the rest of trance. Which Psy tracks have you heard which are better than the good Goa tracks? And Dorset Perception has to be great, its Simon Posford after all :) the best track from Shpongle.
Anyway some Goa tracks you could check out:
Etnica - Trip Tonite,Starship 101
Astral Projection - Solid Electronics,Utopia
Blue Planet Corporation - Overbloody Flood
Doof - Double Dragons
Cosmosis - Afterglow, Key of the Innerverse
Juno Reactor - Pistelero (Man with No Name remix)
Message from God - On Mars, Project Genesis
Pleidians - Maia
Shakta - Lepton Head III, Loopmutant, Spiritual Beings in Physical Bodies
Green Nuns of the Revolution - Ring of Fire
Sound Pollution - Where
Unconscious Collective - Fluorostani Trancedance
I hope this isn't too long a list, its what I got after a quick recce of my playlist.
Nice list! I like the inclusion of a couple of less known Lieb songs: "Mirage - Airborn" and "Ecano - Run". Also interesting to see you put "LSG - El Tiburon" on here. I see that as the peak of Into Deep as an album.
I must admit however that I no longer listen to a large amount of what I would consider strictly Trance. I generally find myself wanting to listen to Minimal, Techno, Classic House, some forms of Jungle or even Rave Hardcore (think old Prodigy, Acen, The Hypnotist, Joey Beltram etc) over Trance, that is if I'm looking to listen to electronic stuff at all. However, Simon Berry AKA Union Jack, Art Of Trance, Clanger is one artist whose pre-1997 stuff I still regularly listen to. I see you have "Union Jack - Red Herring" and "Clanger - Seadog". If you like them I would advise getting the albums "Union Jack - There Will Be No Armageddon" and "Art Of Trance - Wildlife On One". Also the Cockroach EP, Cactus EP, Two Full Moons And A Trout 2006 EP by Union Jack and the Octopus/Orange EP by Art Of Trance. Off the following I would consider these the best songs which are not already on the list:
Union Jack - Cockroach
Union Jack - Yeti
Union Jack - Cactus
Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout (Caspar Pound Mix)
Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout (Original Mix)
Art Of Trance - Deeper Than Deep
Art Of Trance - Orange
Art Of Trance - Octopus
Art Of Trance - Cambodia (Tunnel Vision Mix)
A few more random ones to check out seeing as this is not only Trance:
Autechre - Further [Glitch/IDM]
Plastikman - Plasticine [Minimal Acid Techno]
The Light - Panfried (Mind Over Matter Mix) [Goa-ish]
Mouse On Mars - Bib [Drill N Bass]
Sta & Paul B - Secrets Inside [Trance N Bass]
I'm having some trouble getting some of the Union Jack stuff, but I'll keep on trying.
The EPs might take a while but hopefully you've got hold of the albums now? Any luck? If so what are your thoughts?
Hey man, thanks for posting samples to those tunes. Anyone where to get more samples similar to the ones posted here?
So I suppose my links are working alright then. I don't know of any other sites with samples, but when I add new songs, samples will be made for them and posted on this page.
Very nice list. I'm also quite impressed with the way you coded it, and in your inclusion of very little fluffy garbage (not to be confused with the wonderful "Little Fluffy Clouds," which you thankfully included :D )
I may steal your code, if that's OK: it's really cool :D
Go ahead. Now that its summer, I might be updating my list. Hopefully...
BTW, how did you do it, if you don't mind me asking? I can't seem to find your method in the source.
Code Part 1
Code Part 2
If you want some free help, you can email me through Listology:
http://www.listology.com/email.cfm/indv_id.10898
Thanks! That's very clever. Now I'll see if I can do the same using just your code...
Huh, the buttons to my list keep on disappearing, and I don't know why.
I will endeavor to solve the issue when I order my new list.
