Is there honestly a better trance track than Netherworld?

The full version on LSG - Vol. 2 is just a masterpiece. Armin also said it's his favorite track ever.

No, there is not. There is none better.

Amen. Oliver Lieb is one of the most respected producers and Netherworld is arguably his signature track. I just did the math.

It's understandable. It's not commercial trance

Matt, what do you do when you're not posting on TA? Are you the experimental test subject in a CIA mind control programme that involves shoving industrial quantities of crayons up your nose?


Posted by Mattsanity on Sep-30-2021 16:23:

I'm single. there's your answer.


Posted by Midlothian on Sep-30-2021 16:27:

Strictly speaking it isn't.


Posted by planetaryplayer on Sep-30-2021 17:56:

theres no commercials with trance

I mean, it's a great tune, top tier even, but I wouldn't say it's the best of Lieb.

Fair enough. It's Lieb after all.

Pretty good tune indeed but I would have to name drop "The Train Of Thought 1.2" or Paragliders - Change Me...found only Tetsuo and Tranceportation labels. The version released on Hooj Choons does not have the Original that Sasha would drop in his sets.


This video is misleading with the Hooj Choons picture but it's the Tranceportation Original Mix.


Posted by trancedanne on Oct-01-2021 18:54:

This might be abit OT but is there anyone from the last 10 years or so that has made techno/trance that sounds like Lieb's old stuff?


Posted by SYSTEM-J on Oct-01-2021 20:25:

This is from 2020 and it mixes like a dream with Netherworld. Try it at home:

From beginning till end I personally always liked these better:

Resistance D - Skyline (Bytes Mix) (1994)
Zyon - No Fate (No Fate Mix '93)
L.S.G - Fontana (Processed Mix) (1995)

I recorded Armin playing Netherworld in Toronto back in Aug 2008... was one of the last great sets I heard live from him.

He also said LSG - Netherworld two more times in 2017 and earlier this year (from what I'm aware of). He does shoutout Li Kwan - Point Zero as well though...

I couldn't compete with your sources Matt

Wow, he even name-drops CBL's Interloper as a favourite album.

Nice reminder that Armin The Person does have good taste in music, even if Armin The Icon does not.

It's still funny how Armin thinks Trance started when he started listening to trance. He's right that in Holland we called everything house in the early 90's and Trance became a lot more popular around 95 and 96, but e.g. Trancemaster 1 and Reactivate Five - Pure Trance And Techno were released in 1992 so the word Trance as a genre was there, but he just wasn't listening at the time.

Netherworld is great, but the first part often is skipped, which is why it's not at the top of my list.
Armin never listened early hardtrance, so there won't be any early hardtrance tracks in his list, but I'm sure enough early trancers would mention some as best ever. I always thought it had to do with the fact he's from Leiden. For sure it would have been different when would have lived in Rotterdam like Ferry.

Point Zero is also in my best ever list, but also Quench - Dreams (1993)

There isn't a best ever trance track, just maybe a most popular.

Trance-M ended this thread. I was confident until I realized Point Zero exists.

Great track and one that I rarely ever heard played live. So many elements to it

He's always been upfront about the fact that he is an entertainer and that his personal taste does not align with what he plays out.


Posted by SYSTEM-J on Oct-03-2021 11:14:

The best trance track ever is clearly Breeder - The Chain. Once you've heard that on a club soundsystem there's no going back.
