Wouldn't Sandstorm qualify for "masterpiece" status? It was pretty unique for when it was released.
I mean, most elements of the track are very different from those of standard anthem trance.

the above title reminded me of this classic!

sasha & maria - be as one.



also heard this on a TV show and reminded me (non gabriel & dresden anti-grav mix though!)



that's a real masterpiece! maybe my top pick of the thread!!

still give me goosebumps

I can't believe I forgot to mention this. One of the most beautiful lounge tracks of all EDM history. A complete stroke of genius from Tom Middleton. He ate his wheaties the day that this was made!!

you guys should explain why you think it is. I mean otherwise , it just seems lke you are posting tracks you like. I suppose it would perhaps help me and others see your point of view ?

My middleton track above = genre defiant. Its soft, melodic, beautiful, progressive, swanky, loungey, makes me happy to be alive. It is also the best Middleton track I've ever heard by leaps and bounds. Hope that helps at least for my video clip.

BIG - A Promise, because it makes me think of a winter wonderland.

well george, the music should speak for itself. and that's why the youtube tracks are embeded as opposed to just naming a track.

why don't you try clicking the play button? even if you are already familiar with the track, it wont hurt to listen to it with new ears. that's probably more important than an explanation alone.

fucking loving this at the moment, think it is definitely a masterpiece in the making for me, love quivver!



has a real air of class about it, love the way it combines darkness with the eventual subtle uplifting half way through, and the agressive-yet-gentle riff, with the serene calm of the space signals. a really awesome piece of electronic, expertly crafted.

Narcotik � Twelve Miles.

heard this on an Anthony Pappa Renaissance cd. blew me away.

Sasha used the much more famous A-side, 'blue' to open a GU cd, but i don't think it's half as good. this was soon after picked up by Platipus, having the label hallmark sound. this to me is what a progressive tune should be, a journey. not just boring elements slowly added over time.

goes from dark pounding and snarling until a third of the way in, a key change signals a change in atmosphere and suddenly the darkness melts away until the amazing uplifting amazing melody takes hold.

very organic, nature feel to it. can see why Platipus swooped in for it after the initial pressing. a lifetime away from the souless over-engineered stuff of today. a total must for any real fan of trance.

masterpiece imo:

dark deep prog trance

This song always brings me back to being 17, in a van, driving through the vast rolling fields of Eastern Washington, on my way to a jazz festival in Moscow Idaho. Long stretches of empty highway, golden fields of wheat, and the endless blue sky above... that's what this song feels like.

The vocal version is cool, but I've had the Instrumental Dub since before I even knew this wasn't properly a Scooter tune. It gives me feels, yo.

I'm too young for this thread...

Why would you choose that track among all the shit AFX has done?



One of the biggest techno tracks of all time. A club wouldn't do justice. This needs to be played in a cathedral.

Donnell "Standing" Rattle ‎� Oyate (Jam El Mar Remix)

angel falls (firewall mix)

epic, yet restrained masterpiece of trance, amazing soundscape. packs something that modern trance lacks: class.

old lange looks on in disgust at new lange.

I wish this old school fast hard techno wasnt completely lost on me, but it is.

Needs to be heard in a club, quite simply.

with enough methamphetamines to kill a goat, and the goat of her mother. hard tech was great back in the day. preach as a resident (he killed his career by signing to black hole and moving to trance instead of techno), a bunch of insane 140bpm + acts with no arpeggios , it is still to this day my funnest era of clubbing. fit as fuck, and the minges were too. 12 hours of scooby snacks and fist pumps. think tenaglia...he does 24 hour sets. compress that in half. without drugs though hard tech is impossibru. it isn't home listening material. just like trance.

The drugs help, of course, because the music is so pounding and relentless more sober souls will run out of energy quickly (and don't give me any of these bullshit "I partied for 12 hours just drinking water and reading the word of the Lord" stories - not to hard techno, you didn't), but all you need to do is step into a grimey industrial space with a ninja sound system and hear one of those '90s techno records played loud. I guarantee there will be an "Aaaaaaah" moment.

i did 23 hours of tenaglia once. while not quite as awesome as a shorter hard tech night (speedy j to this day played a 4 hour live set that remains my best "rave" night of all time.). fuck jesus, i was on enough pills to make even trance acceptable. they didn't play any thank fuck.
