... I find guilty pleasures out of both Ian Van Dahl and Plummet. Although Ian Van Dahl screams "Naive Epic Trance going extremely towards the direction of High Speed Pop Music" and Plummet screams "Epic House with a Vocodor"... they're catchy, just not LIST worthy.
Hahaha. I get your anger in this area. Darktremor has a huge point in stating that people lose the perspective to care spazztically (as if i knew how to spell that word) about other people's preferences, but I see your viewpoint.
None-the-less. This article did make me giggle, I liked it.
I've been meaning to ask darktremor if microtrance really does count under the uber-genre of trance... I suppose I could just look under his "Every single genre..." list...
Otherwise I'd have quite a few more songs to add to my list... the two genre's just don't really fit in together in my opinion... it really does sound a bit more like house and electro.
Although I'm quite sure anything James Holden decides to put into a mix would be highly acceptable by many. Everything I've heard coming from him so far is a favorite. Not an exaggeration, might I add, either.
Well that explains everything perfectly, because the cd I got the song off of was "Trance Party Volume Four" from Robbins Entertainment... and that Record Label is, in my opinion, the #1 trance blasphemizer. Their website is even douche-worthy. Obviously they wouldn't label the song "Beachball 2004" because they probably lacked the knowledge of. In fact- their compilations also supplied me with Kontakt's "Show Me a Sign." They're like the #1 "Trance-Pop Wannabe" and "Trance Knock-off" record label.
Anyway I could go on forever ranting about the stupidity of the creation of Robbins (not even starting in on how horrid the mixing skills are of the Happy Boys), but alas, this list has nothing to do with it... so why pollute it any longer...
Although I'm a very big fan of Above & Beyond... I'm not a huge fan of any trance remix done of Delerium's "Silence."
And yes... I have Delerium's Greatest Hits Album... featuring the Bonus Track of the Above & Beyond 21st Century Remix of "Silence," so I've listened to it a couple times, I know which one you speak of. I like the Above & Beyond Remix of "Underwater" better, perhaps I'll put that one on my list...
Thanx for your input though, I greatly appreciate it :)
It's quite different than "Dreams" when at first listen, but when it comes right down to it, it seems to have layered on multiple different melodies and harmonies on top of the basic "Dreams" layout. Although not nearly as obvious as the others.
But... I don't see how you get Binary Finary's "1998" from Positron's "Pathfinder"... they sound like two completely different trance songs... much of the same trance style, definitely forming the same trance anthem sub-genre... but not of the same melodic patterns... maybe you have them down more than me though... I'll listen to them a bit more...
Okay, so I've been thinking about it alot, and I finally decided to throw it out there.
I'm not sure if you'll agree with me, but I just wanted to point out a couple genre's that have sprung up to me... for all I know this could be complete nonsense, perhaps you could discuss it with Ishkur (he doesnt talk to me, I've tried.)
So, I guess this would go under the trance category. Not preferably one of my favorites (in truth I like it very little), but its been mentioned to me in other websites with the name "Jump-Up Trance." It resembles the description quite well with "Jump-Up Jungle" if you ask me, due to the fact that the songs in this "genre" sound quite similar to one another. Examples?
- Cascada's "Everytime we Touch," "Miracle," "Bad Boy" (the only three songs I've listened to by her until I decided I'd had enough.)
- Barcera's "Secret of Love"
- Akira's "Piece of Heaven"
You have to agree they all share an unusual quality that, perhaps, could, in fact, hint a new genre coming on? I hate to put it in comparison to something as uplifting as trance... if you ask my personal opinion I'd put it under "Unbelievably Powerful Pop." Yeah, uhuh. Moving on.
This probably wont become a genre anytime soon in anyone's opinions besides mine, but I've noticed some songs (most under the Hip-Hop genre) that give the same mood. The same earsplitting headache known as, perhaps, a temporary moment of the song memorized and repeating in your head- all day until you burst... or until you hear another song in the same genre... I can only define it as something I heard off of VH1- EARWORMS. Examples?
Getting the picture yet? The VH1 short on EARWORMS had its strong points, but I have to disagree with some of their examples...
Yes, I can understand that Britney Spears's "Toxic" and Outkast's "Hey Ya!" can get stuck in your head for a prolonged amount of time, longer than appreciated, but neither of those songs include the repetitive, simple, naive arrangement of rhyming catch phrases that seem to create a legacy of airwaves when put on the mainstream.
So yeah, Jump Up Trance, and Earworms. Could use some better names...

Very good song though.
Ugh. Scratch that.
It's a hell of alot more stimulating than Nathan Fake and Epsilon 9's.
Yeah, I've had that track for a long time. I feel like an unbelievably huge idiot for not including it in my list thus far.
I agree its a very good track, but it doesn't completely stimulate me.
I AM LOVING THESE SONGS!

Lassic, I really wanna thank you for all of your suggestion- no sarcasm, I'm serious. :)
I can't find Richard Grey's "Pissed Off" anywhere online... not even a sample...
I'll just take your word for it... which is incredibly stupid on my part... but I will...
Ewwwww.... "Beachball 2004" are you serious?

I'll check out those songs.
You're right on alot of your suggestions. I'm sorry I waited so long to take note of them.

Good suggestions, Lassic.
I'll add Lost Tribe's "Gamemaster."
It's quite different than "Dreams" when at first listen, but when it comes right down to it, it seems to have layered on multiple different melodies and harmonies on top of the basic "Dreams" layout. Although not nearly as obvious as the others.

Wow.
I see we have a Hayao Miyazaki fan in the house.
I love it.
Miyazaki is simply amazing.
Simple message, but pointful.

Hahaha- well good sir.
Paul Van Dyk actually holds that place in 28th.
I'll look into the Robert Miles song, I think I have it somewhere, I'll check it out.
