-- journey to trance
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
i think it was around 98 for me. i listened poppy punk back then. most of my new classmates listened to some crap eurodance and rap, stuff i couldn't stand. but then there were some decent tunes among the crap. i remember hearing greece 2000, the silmarilla, etc. etc. and i really liked them. it was all different from what i was used to hearing and i liked it.
did some research and downloaded shitloads of music from audiogalaxy. then i started buying cds, some good stuff, way too much cheesy stuff (cj stone etc.) because that was pretty much the only thing available in finland.
later on i discovered buying music from the web and from there on my tastes have developed much more freely. now i like trance (not the current shit they call trance, asot etc. except a few ones), all sorts of house, techno and some other forms of electronic music too (about which i don't know even half as much as i'd like to).
now i'm kinda stuck musically as the past few years i've been hella busy so i haven't had time to search for new music that much and thus i haven't found enough new music i like. which sucks.
I remember being like 9 back in brazil and watching the daft punk videos on nickelodeon and just loving it, but then i forgot and continued listening to bon jovi (lol I've like bon jovi since I was like 6) and backstreet, n'sync, hanson......then when i was 11 I moved to america and one day decided to grab discovery one day, and thats how i fell in love. Daft will be my fave forever and ever. But then i moved on to cascada, lasgo, cheese and euro and garbage and trust me i've seen edm at its worse and i still liked it at the time. Then i moved on to trance for the last year or so, ferry, pvd, tiestor, armin van boring, atb, a&b all the "essentials"...I still love trance that where my love for edm reached it's limits I started to lose sleep over it, but now I'm becoming a prog house addict and I don't think I'll move on from that because I just simply Love with a passion.
8 years old: The Crystal Method
13 years old: rediscover Crystal Method, discovers Boards of Canada, discovers Paul Oakenfold's Creamfields 99 mix. About here is when I really started taking interest in electronic music. I started getting more Oakenfold stuff (not knowing that half the song names were mislabled) and eventually found Cosmic Gate.
There on: Found about all sorts of trance djs. Came here and found Astral Projection, real techno (Dj Rush), dnb and downtempo. Started really loving psytrance. Bought a dj setup... and pretty much that is where I am right now.
I don't think at any part I listened to that cheesey stuff that a lot of people my age seem to like.
Does anybody else have fond memories of listening to ridiculously cheesy dance in the early ninties, such as:
JX (Son of a Gun!)
La Bouche
Whigfield
The Real McCoy
Ahh, those were the days...
(not really)

I'll just do a song timeline, rather than genre:
Madonna - Vogue ---->
Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer ---->
Captain Hollywood - More & More ---->
Innercity - Big Fun ---->
Whigfield - Saturday Night --->
Twenty 4 Seven - Slave To The Music ---->
Sash - Stay ---->
Sash - Ecuador ---->
And well, the rest, is as they say, history...
