Rank1 - Airwave & Three Drives - Greece 2000 & Robert Miles - Children

All three got me into the genre

Gouryella - Walhalla (original with no vocals)

How could I forget Robert Miles - Children, that was the track that got me into the EDM scene.

I didn't read this whole thread, but surely somebody posted previously...that you couldn't even hope to define trance by one track

When I think of that, I think of Rank 1 - Airwave.

fucking trance anthem imo.

I feel it should be a tune pre 2000...from when trance was @ it's peak/greatest period of growth. I also don't think it should be remix of another tune - it has to be an original.

Very hard to decide, but I'd go for one of the following:
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel
Solar Stone - Seven Cities
Rank 1 - Airwave
Chicane - Saltwater

But I also can see how people would easily pick something like Carte Blanche, Synaesthesia etc. Guess it really comes down to personal opinion...we all have that one tune which really defines trance for us.

I'd also query whether you can count something like Xpander as trance...

Oh, and Exploration of Space would be hard trance.

I'd say Delerium - Silence (ISOS) would be the most recognisable trance tune, however there are so many amazing formative trance tracks pre 2000...ISOS is merely building on them.

I'm not explaining myself this morning...hopefully you can understand me!

I'm rather surprised that someone can mention Airwave or Silence (ISOS remix) as tunes that defines trance. Post-2000 trance have more or less lost the trancy vibe which was so present in the sound in the early trance tunes, hence why it got it's name "TRANCE". In which of the tunes you mentioned can you find that hypnotic trancy feeling as in tunes such as Vernon - Vernons Wonderland and Zyon - No Fate?
So no, trance IMO should not be defined by any post-2000 tunes. It should be defined by tunes before 1997.

I don't know if this argument is going to work for this guy;

He doesn't think Xpander is trance.

But i mostly miss the mid-90s trance.It was when that older hypnotically sequenced sound started getting more melodic and more "progressive", such as early LSG stuff (fragile, blueprint-1), Andy Ling, Arrakis, Humate, Cygnus-X, B.B.E., Escape, Jamez and many others, and labels like React (the mid-end 90s releases),Fluid and early Hooj Choons. That was IMO probably the best trance sound of all times but strangely enough, it was somehow underestimated and maybe over-shadowed by later more pure epic-stuff (e.g. Agnelli & Nelson, The Thrillseekers) and even later, the Super-Saw Dutch stuff (Gouryella, Rank-1).IMO when trance became purely "dutch" it somehow lost its elegance,not that there weren't any good stuff at all. It was just "to much(dutch)" some times.

I agree entirely. Progressive Trance est mort. Vive progressive trance!

Of course, no single production can "define" trance, but certainly some are more up to the task than others. Two that I think of as acceptable prototypes for the genre:

Age of Love (Jam & Spoon's Watch Out For Stella Mix)
LSG - Netherworld

Moby - Porcelain (Torsten Stenzel Remix)

Moby - Porcelain was a genre-crossover track for me and pretty much no discussion on Trance as a genre is complete without it's mention.

So i just mentioned it.

No other track had as much influence on me during my genre-crossover from Pop and New age than Porcelain. I just am too lost everytime i play either of those two tracks (Porcelain or it's Remix by Torsten Stenzel)

TA veterans, please don't be too harsh on me .

and what is wrong with Lolo - Why? So just because it's similar to Xpander it's a bad tune? Man, this is one of the best Laurent Veronnez tracks ever and one of them which defins trance! Definitely!

Salt Tank - Dimension (Voices of Reason Mix)

Posted by heib99 on Nov-21-2006 06:14:

castles in the sky sucks...cheesy trance that everyone likes but whom really don't know trance. It is not a song that defines trance. Please don't give us the lyrics everytime you pose either.
