Lol. I love your posting recommendations rules. Wow. OK but i need to humbly ask something of you. And please don't shoot me. What is acid? Ouch. This is gonna hurt.
Yeah sure trance is 'going down' in this country. In fact it's going down in all countries. That's just the way things are at the moment. But that doesn't stop A)producers from making music B)me from enjoying this music!
But agreed, taking trance off the radio was indeed a sad ploy. But nonetheless, get yourself soulseek, and virtually any song you wish to find can be download. (www.slsknet.org). I'm from good o'l johannesburg.
My favourites? Hmm...my top ten (in no particular order):
jonas steur -silent waves
faithless -drifting away(paradiso mix)
Paul van Dyk -for an angel
thrillseekers-synaesthesia
solid globe - lost in translation (PvD mix)
sasha-xpander
tiesto-theme from norefjell
Paul oakenfold-ascension.
man with no name -teleport
astral projection-mahadeva.
Hey im from South Africa too! Wow what are the odds. Where about are you from. Did you know that we in South AFrica have one of the biggest Psytrance followings in the world! It even says so on wikipedia.
lol true. But any given genre of music needs its following cult. The more people support trance, the more trance gets made. And the more trance i get to listen too! So eventually, if things proceed as they have been, trance wil diminsh into nothing. But it would take a lo0ong wile for that to happen. People who like trance seem to be very passionate about it. Well in comparison to other genre's of music. Every heard anyone raving about ambient music?
Yup! I feel exactly the same way! Before having come across listology, and its numerous trance lists, my taste was a lot more "primitive" in nature. Cheap, cheesy, trance was where my passion lied. I had many of the classic songs that populate the lists of "Greatest Trance Ever" etc., but i never had the patience or will to appreciate them. Then i started browsing listology. Looking at what others thought was "good" trance.And found it to be adversely different to what appreciated. After reading through that glorious debate between DarkTremor and TranceAddict, if any of you have taken the time to read that, i saw that they, evidently, possessed a much greater wealth of knowledge of trance than what I knew. So I thought that surely their favourites would be "better" trance than what i was currently listening to. SO i began downloading them. Often, at first, i could not possible begin to even slightly enjoy them, thinking "WTF is so great about this song???". But i carried on listening to them, in hopes that my taste in trance would eventually be alligned to theirs. And eventually, after enough of this, i really began to enjoy those classic tracks. I listened to them not because i found them to be my favourite, but because they were "proper" trance fan's favourites. However, i must confess, some of the tracks are still too "advanced" for my liking. And i think everyone's taste in trance evolves so to speak, and the rate at which it evolves depends on the time spent listening to trance, and the influence of more knowledgable people, be it friends, or the trance authorities at listolgy. I continue to lead my friends in the right direction, slowly leading them up to appreciate "Real" Trance, and take great joy in doing so. I believe that if everyone showed their passion in trance, and attempted to spread it, trance could make a ressurgence, so that it is as prominent as it was at the end of the 20th century. And it is possible. Often trance is met with frowns and "Turn that shit off!" kind of comments, but with enough exposure to it, many of my freinds, in fact almost all of them, have begun to start spreading it amongst their other friends too! So if everyone was prepared to do this, and give back to trance for the countless hours they spent listening it, their could be a global Trance-ition. Sure its a very optimistic idea. But it is not beyond reach! Wow have i strayed off the topic. But i feel that compared to other lists, your's is the closest to the "level" of trance i am able to appreciate. Darktremors and whatnot still are a bit daunting for me!
How has your taste changed? Which Tracks have you liked from the "beginning"? I find that a lot of my current favourites, if i heard them a year back, would disgust me.
Yeah, you definitely should be checking out Warrior - X. A sure classic. And yeah thanks for those Jonas Steur recommendations. I'l be sure to have a look at them.
I came across a COMPLETE gem:
Solid Globe - Lost In Translation (Paul van Dyk mix)

Hey im from South Africa too! Wow what are the odds. Where about are you from. Did you know that we in South AFrica have one of the biggest Psytrance followings in the world! It even says so on wikipedia.
Can someone please clarify what each of the sub genres entail? What is the differnce between them? What are the defining factors?
Synaesthesia? Wow. One of my favourite songs and i've never heard a single word being uttered. What version of it do you have.
lol true. But any given genre of music needs its following cult. The more people support trance, the more trance gets made. And the more trance i get to listen too!
