I have 2 songs in my collection which I want you to hear. Maybe you know them. I think these are progressive trance songs like they should be, both by Humate:
- Schiller - Ruhe (Humate Remix)
- Saints & Sinners - Peace (Humate Remix)
I already have a lot of progressive trance songs, but few of this kind (long and trancey buildup and a breakdown with a lot of strings). Do you know more songs of this kind?
I see you're still updating the list. I've some recommendations for you.
DJ Flex - Love 4 You
Diveman - Arpa Del Mar
The Ambush - Sun (long classic trance masterpiece)
I see you have Galaxia by Moonman on your list, but do you know the Qattara remix? It's very good.
While I'm talking about Qattara: Qattara - Qattara (Pure Mix)
Hypertrophy - Eternal Flames (John B Norman vs. Killerloop Remix)
Hmm, good list. A lot of songs which I haven't heard. I'm going to give them a try. And you're damn right about Sunrise (Tiesto Remix), I think it even deserves to be at number 1. It is (imo) the best anthem trance song there is.
And I have to admit (just like any trance listener), I also started off with DJ Sammy, Alice Deejay, DJ Mystik, Gigi and the likes. But that is over 4 years ago. I was also born in the early 90's (1991) and never experienced the first years of trance. I did some research myself and, like you said, it sounded strange the first time. But I've really gotten into it, and it has become one of my favourite genres.
Some fine songs:
- Futurebreeze - Temple Of Dreams (quite a hit in the 90's in Europe, if I'm not mistaken)
- Flutlicht - The Fall
- Dutch Force - Deadline
- Deep Dish - Say Hello
- Clanger - Seadog
- Tim Deluxe - Choose Something Like A Star
- Solid Sessions - Janeiro
Hmm, Greece 2000.. You just took one of the songs I really love. It sounds simple, but OK. Trance songs don't need to have many layers for it to sound interesting. The melody in Greece 2000 sounds a little out of pass, but it really isn't. This is a cool feature of the song. But hey, those are only our opinions. I think I listen to trance for over 4 years now, I was born in the early 90's, the beginning years of trance. I also never heard the stuff on the radio, only later stuff like Gouryella and Robert Miles - Children. I started off with songs by Hyrdoid (Greek Trick & The Eternal) and Scoop - Drop It. I thought these songs were awesome when I first heard them. I heard Age Of Love, but didn't like it at first. I listened to it a few more times, and I loved it. Just a matter of time.
Nice idea for a list. Although this list has some nice songs, I personally think the better trance songs are made between 1990-2001. After that, trance began to sound gimmicky (like pop music). I rarely hear good new trance songs (it's only my opinion), but I'll give the ones on your list a listen. I know Ascent, and think it's a pretty good song. Also take a listen to some songs by Aurosonic, like Hawaii. Pretty good imo. Oh yeah, Estuera is pretty good too, with songs like Castamara, Tales From The South, Travels and Flow.

Hé dazzamack, I have a question. I see you have the Corsten Flashover Mix of LA on your list, and my question is: do you have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCqT_--K2w this song? I can't find it anywhere. I suppose this is the original of LA.

Techno-trance? Haha really? Thought you knew better.

Solid choice. Thanks. It has to be one of my favourite late 90's trance songs.
Hmm, good list. A lot of songs which I haven't heard. I'm going to give them a try. And you're damn right about Sunrise (Tiesto Remix), I think it even deserves to be at number 1. It is (imo) the best anthem trance song there is.

Hey Dazzamack,
I found it after a long search. Here is the link: http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/22192377/file.html
I think this version is way better than the Club Mix or the Ferry Corsten Mix.
Greetings.

Thanks for the quick answer. The song in the yt video isn't on this release, sadly. But I'll look further, I just got to get this song.
Hé dazzamack, I have a question. I see you have the Corsten Flashover Mix of LA on your list, and my question is: do you have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCqT_--K2w this song? I can't find it anywhere. I suppose this is the original of LA.
That track is nice indeed, I like it when the main melody of a song consists of acid (just like 1998 by Binary Finary).
Yeah, sharp eye! That's 'Blue Fear' of course, I love that song. It's way darker than most of Armin's songs.
Thanks! Yup, Platipus is epic, should listen to more from that stuff. This list is pretty dated btw, I should add a new version soon.
