a track which all your friends like almost as much
despite your sentimental value attachment

dark haunting atmospheres and beautiful melodies are a must
electro tracks (well 99% of them) are not masterpieces
only my friend molly would think so...but only on big speakers


very well said, surprised you're american!

not gonna take a lecture on masterpiece criteria from a tiesto fan... of all people!

that speck of gold is frankly just crap. washy shitty vocal number. masterpiece?!

edm masterpeice incoming...



the original, non vocal version.

generally vocals are there to mask a poor tune. whilst perception vocals are actually quite good, it doesn't beat the track in its raw unadulterated state...

takes you to another place, like a good tune should... bomb!

yeah well I WAS a Tiesto fan from 1999-2005
but not anymore now
and that Cass & Slide track was on a Tiesto compilation
I think i do have pretty good taste in music


Posted by rubez on Aug-23-2012 12:46:

was talking about tijs_fan, no less.

and perception was the vocal version tiesto used - though it was a good compilation in any case - before he went downhill.

i seen you listen ISOS4 as your second all time great album... that's not what i call good taste in music.

ISOS 1 to 3 were amazing. after that tiesto became shit. the rest is history.

yeah well we all have peculiar tastes...but I think mine is above average
but the fact we both like ISOS 1 and ISOS 3 means we arent THAT different in terms of musical taste
but yeah I see your point


Posted by DodecaphonicSym on Aug-23-2012 12:49:

People who have bad taste are like
OMG ATB-Ecstasy is the best track ever!
or those who are like DUDE Deadmau5 and Skrillex are my 2 fave DJs
actually I originally mentioned AVICII but on second thought I have never heard one of his mixes or any of his songs...So i cant diss A guy I haven't listened to
maybe I loved ISOS 4 so much cuz of my DSL connection
and the fact I was going trhough adolescence
tracks in adolescence sound better usually

But fuck my mother
she keeps me in the dark and ruins my life
she better be penitent

Really, this thread sucks as a discussion of "electronic musical masterpieces", because as usual just about every track is trance. Just accept it's a lot of narrow-minded people posting tracks they like and get stuck in.

system j makes my point, this could just be ur average choonor fest topic and u wouldnt tell the difference.

rubez.... chu' on about lad, that afterlife track is a downtempo classic at the very least, forgive me that a m'piece by ur likes is something u can do the melbourne shuffle to, working on a 154bpm bootleg just4u.

mattsanity, 'u sooo naughtyyyy mr. harris, mr. hazo said premium fantasy" lol


Posted by Mattsanity. on Aug-23-2012 20:37:

you're telling me this track is a hot icy stunta? I'm not sure dawg. I know the word masterpiece has been bastardized like crazy but I can explain why this is a masterpiece.

chem. bros are a grade above the crystal meth... for musical experimentation alone, but its sad to see that so many pseudo connesseurs are misinformed:

"to me a masterpiece is from 1995" - dude, seriously this is sheer closemindedness that elitists from ta have instilled in u.

nothing has to be from the 90's, ur just looking for elitist credibility..

a track such as telepopmusic's breathe, is a masterpiece imo. and thats a 2003 record. music has no expiration date, its not a carton of milk, but something post 2012 can have greatness.

You are cold. you're too smart with this edm stuff to have registered recently. you must be a tranceaddict OG. considering your username, you must've registered anywhere from 2000-2002 while he was still DJ Tiesto.

ive been around, wasnt hitting up digweed @ twilo, but im not a skrillexer no doubt.

gem/classic/borderline mp

echomen-substance forensic records 2002

The Crystal Method were influenced by The Chemical Brothers, but Trip Like I Do is a masterpiece. not even tCM themselves can top this joint:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfUSyoJcbxU

it's one of the greatest first tracks of any album, and it's their best effort. the dark crystal sample, the spacey buildup, and the unexpected twist at 3:23. I know I'm a tryhard but I want to speak my mind.

nothing i have posted has been even close to average, they have all been carefully thought out.

of course you haven't even listened to them before talking a load of trash, thinking you know it all. where in reality you know fuck all. and that goes to system-j as well.

and stop the text speak, makes you sound like a retard.

my posts are the best in B-side trance and progressive.

I'm all for NY house, but I'll give that track a 4.5/5 LOL. she kinda sounds like Nadia Ali from iiO. I'm sure it sounds better in a club.


Posted by tijs_fan on Aug-23-2012 22:03:

rubez i just think u wanna take the piss cuz Rangers got relegated to fourth tier butty ball, im not pretending i know all but i can distinguish sheer class from knobbery.

matts. - i bigup that track cuz its a great track, the lead oozes ny scene, and so simple and dark yet tasteful, this is from when things didnt have to be overproduced to be awesome.


Posted by Mattsanity. on Aug-23-2012 22:08:

rubez' opening tracks were fantastic.

Your track selection is up to you. Besides, this is your thread and you wrote in the starting post "it just has to be spine tingling, atmosphere inducing TRANCE" so people should consider to post tracks which are a little "trancy" at least.

Btw. lots of the tracks you posted are tunes that I would classify to be very good tracks.


Posted by tijs_fan on Aug-23-2012 22:28:

to each his own im just trying to show some reason/sanity. not a judge byy any stretch, last choons i gavee arent necessarily mp's but are within the range of agreed-on greatness by not just myself.
