Tracks that are more than a track, but an experience

I know this thread idea is cliche and has been done before, but this track felt like an experience

In terms of experience a lot of what is supposed to pass as "trance" these days feels like being bludgeoned to serious death while being on the receiving end of a severe arse battering.

How did I know in advance that Matt's selection would be just another random trance oldie that could fit in any of his threads?

My bad. Perhaps a Blue Amazon or BT record from 1995 would've made this thread more sensible.

I'd say Junkie XL stuff from 99/early 00s, like Future in Computer Hell Pt2, Bon Voyage. Maybe Slacker.

Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight

Had a vocoder and synths in 1981. Ahead of its time and definitely an experience.

The first one that comes in my mind:

Cape Town - Metaphorique (Ferry Tayle Neverending Story Mix) [2007]

To me you get a long nice journey with several phases/chapters/moods :-)

Does the track have to be an experience, or is it enough if I've experienced something significant while the track was playing?

Well I don't know, I don't know shit about trance, and everyone knows BT, but the first time I ever fingered a girl in a club was at some point accompanied by Mercury & Solace. If only we could go back in time and finger some of our first girlfriends again.

my first time at a strip club my older cousins put me on stage and the stripper placed my $5 bill on my nose and she picked it up with her vag- the song playing? Star 69

This far without the most obvious example?

That story just makes Mercury & Solace hit different now. Thx

Go on then Matt, I'll post a few for you:

Way Out West - Domination (Mururoa Mix)

BT - Firewater

Enigma - I Love You... I'll Kill You

Obviously the last one is cheesy is hell, but spark up a fat spliff, turn the lights out and tell me the tempo change in the middle doesn't make your hairs stand on end.

Its cheese but the whole setting live and the people give me the good vibes.

1. Bicep is not cheese
2. what is cheese nowadays anyway?

As for the tracks that are more like experiences, I think that we have less of these tracks nowadays. It seems that most tunes are more geared towards being very specific tools for DJ's and all the progression from one state of energy or feeling to another is left entirely for DJ's. I mean, take a look at what Joris Voorn plays for example. His sets have plenty of variation and atmosphere, but it is almost entirely down to his programming. Taken separately the tunes that he plays dont really go anywhere.

Anyway, for me three such "experience type" tracks spring to mind immediately, although there are many many more.

* Way out West - Killa
* Way out West - Northern Lights
* Sasha - Wavy Gravy
