-- ASOT yearmix 2004 - Was this year when trance hit its first peak? (link & tracklist)
Pages (6): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 »

The only decent trance in 2004 (if not saying about harder part of it, there were alot more) were these excellent tracks (not my full list, but its ~20% of it):

I'd probably be super bored of it too if trance was literally all I listened to for like, 10+ years.

ok

Now you talk about Blueberry... i think this remix is dope i think i prefer it over the original live.

I remember listening to this as it played, LIVE. The days of a misspent, wayward youth kept under the stern grasp of what sounded like a vast meadow of broken toys scattered brazenly through the long grass. I sat there, Windows XP lightly skinned, Winamp locked and loaded into ets-global after the harrowing fiasco of the changeover for ASOT from ID&T to SLAMFM and the way the frightened little whites shivered in their collective timbers at the vacancy left in their twee plurry hearts. Stricken, these sounds escaped through the barred grating of my Logitech speakers. Sweat began to glisten on my most familiar edges as my dad stayed with me, hand on my shoulder and eyes glued to the cosmos that Armin painted for us through the all-giving arcs of Anjuna. I felt connected. I knew that at this moment, it didn't matter if trance made it to the next day. I simply drew contentment through the fleeting feeling of fragile permanence that was constructed by RANDY KATANA and made possible by the Vannest of BUURENS. I must say. This set made me purchase a new microwave with a plethora of settings I have yet to use.

also, some new bigroom producers are doing more "cheesy dark" (or maybe just dark?), probably because of some mcprog influences (laughz)

i liked this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM2OYABPZIQ

the cheesy dark of today will be the mcprog of tomorrow?

I remember an EP by Danilo Ercole A man with two names /Quasar. Both great tracks.

the fact that that it's new does not imply it's a bad track. It's a 6/10 for me i like this kind of stuff. If you want supersaws this is not for you.

Here's some genuinely good trance from 2004:

Let him be happy. He probably think he is the first one doing this here.
He is like: "They will be so afraid of me!"

uh yeah, Close Cover is from 2001

You are going to love this, has a melody.

Though I had a good time that year (I think?), looking back now I struggle to see why I liked the music so much back then. It was basically 50% overblown '99 nostalgia with muddy synth barrages creating an endless homogeneous murk with zero excitement value. The other 50% was watered down chill-out music. There was so little about it that made you want to dance. I suppose it was good enough at massaging your eardrums especially if you had one of those home cinema systems that were all the business back then, but musically it was a bit of a joke really.

Originally posted by Ranz Haha. You know, what you're posted is utter dogshit. I only appreciate catchy and creative melodies in trance, in your track there's no melody AT ALL! I do love hypersaws. Imo for trance its an analog of electroguitar for rock. But, what I appreciate the most is a great melody, I can't find it in your track, at all. If composition don't have it - it's shit, no matter how good it sounds.

If this is someone trolling you're doing an excellent job, fucking lol.

in russia melody plays you.

Yeah, they gotta be trolling.

must suck to have ADD at the age of 29

Yep, but it's pretty average.

Of course he's trolling. This is like going into an Ultima forum proclaiming Final Fantasy 10 is the greatest RPG of all time.

There's nothing wrong with admitting that you really enjoyed the music. Don't let the clowns in this place get to you. Never forget the good times you had with this music.

I fully admit to enjoying the music back then. I just don't understand why any more, a problem I don't really have with any of the other music I listened to in my younger years. It doesn't add up to what my tastes were before and after that period. I just think I let myself get carried away a bit and I do find that regrettable.
