Trance videos that are hitting "mainstream"

PvD now airing at your local Circuit City

I was in Circuit city last night, picking up some crap. While in CD section - I see a PvD "Time of our Life" video on their TV's - that was pretty sweet. I just stood there - watching the video. Nothing too impressive, but just the sheer fact - watching PvD in US, of all places - Circuit City. Though, I must say - the version they showed was more Alt Rock/Pop, a very homogenised video version. Unless you knew the origins of the tune, you wouldn't know it could be classified as "trance". Still it was nice. Actually, on a side note what pisses me off is when you watch a movie that plays some trance tune (such as Formula 51 - Thrillseekers tune) if you have close captions turned on, it would say something like "Techno music playing"...

What other trance videos have you seen in US, in "mainstream"?

when at the mall they were playing beachball by nalin and kane at the abercrombie and fitch and UK garage in the kids store next to it. On the way to banana republic i heard royksopp and some breaks. then, while passing a womans clothing store, i stopped inside just so i could listen to the leama & moor remix of im with you by avril lavigne. as i was leaving through a best buy entrance, i saw delerium's after all video play on the screens. needless to say it was a pretty cool day.

if you go to target in the electronics section, you might see BT's "Simply Being Loved" video. i'm not sure if he's that un-mainstream though.

Are you sure you were in US??? In the malls around this way all you'd hear is another rendition of N'Suck's crap tune, some Britney Speartits or Christina Fuckulera garbage. The closest I ever saw - the IIO Rapture Video in FYE, but that was a "house" version of it...

I have seen many trance videos on TV here in Australia. We still have "Amp" on MTV Australia, which is the EDM show....i think they cancelled it in the US or something.

Anyways the other day i saw Tiesto - Traffic on MTV. Pretty cool video from that live stadium thing he did where he was the only act.

They always play Ian Van Dahl and Fragma videos on MTV though

At the Burlington Mall near Boston they played Suburban Train when I was walking by Abercrombie & Fitch. That store actually plays a lot of trance/breaks whenever I'm there, maybe you should check them out just for their music since their clothes will make you go bankrupt.

Oh yeah, and I heard Avril Lavigne - I'm With You (Leama & Moor Remix) in Bath & Body Works (a soap and cream store...I was helping my friends buy gifts for their girlfriends, don't ask) and it was on the radio too! I didn't catch what station but I thought it was pretty cool, my friends had no idea why I was grinning at the speakers though...

I was buying some DVDs at Best Buy and they started playing Dave Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors (Junkie XL Vocal Remix)
