I've looked a little bit longer (downloaded some of the songs I didn't know) and, I have to say: I like it a lot. Many songs older than 1997 were new to me (I knew of course the 'classics' out of these years, but not all these other great songs). Thanks for making me discover these songs :)
The only thing bottering me, and I don't say you have to remove these songs from the list, they just botter me, are:
Lightforce - Join me
Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone
Lightforce - Take Your Time
Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body Rock
DJ Shog - Another World
Aquagen - Summer is Calling
Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky
4 Strings - Sunrise
I've liked this genre (cheesy trance/club trance) 5 years ago, when I just started to listen trance (mainly club), but I think it's crap nowadays. The only reason that I can think of why you put these on the list is because you've a good live-experience with them, am I right?
Excellent list by the way, but I think the genre 'Neo-trance' is arguable. Techno-producers started to make softer techno around 2000, which eventually became Minimal. Minimal has some trance-elements, but techno-elements too (I think even more techno-elements). Doesn't really matter, but Neo-trance = Minimal Techno imo.
Another minimal suggestion (it's better than some of your minimal tracks around 150):
Gregor Tresher - A Thousand Nights (2007)
2007 is a great minimal year, lot of awesome tracks (lot of crap too unfortunately)

Anyway, thanks for this wonderful list.
