History Of Trance

Mainly commercial stuff, but still, some absolute classics on there.

Yeah, a lot of crap on it, but also masterpieces like Flaming June and Xpander. I would never buy such a compilation though.

not so good

You know this shit's gonna be rockin when you put CD1 in and the first beats of Sandstorm get your body moving instantly.

Or not.

If I needed a trance cliche/archetype reference guide, this might just be the ticket.

Posted by torontotrance on Jul-29-2004 02:47:

That's the funniest tracklist I've seen in ages, classics with trash, now can that really be considered classics

Xpander
Flaming June
Bullet In The Gun (oakenfold fave)
For An Angel
Gouryella
Touch Me (will always be a classic in my book)

and others

But

castles in the sky
flip n fill
milk inc

sorry I would never buy a CD like this, classics yes but it is an insult to trance and I bet friends of mine will see this and start calling the trash....trance.

History of BULLSHIT!

Posted by Floorfiller on Jul-29-2004 03:36:

they need to make up a REAL history of trance compilation...get some good old stuff on there from back in the 96-97 days as well...

Posted by jonze on Jul-29-2004 04:50:

i think "oakenfold - 2 years at cream" is about the best history lesson you can get. im sure you guys can come up with some others or bash me but whatever.

*puts on fire retardant suit just in case

I'll leave that to Penn & Teller. Hehe.

Every time I see this tracklisting, it makes me laugh harder. As TTA put it, what a curious disparity -- hey, on the bright side, you know the intricate productions DO get a chance to shine. Who knows, someone who's never heard "Xpander" or "Flaming June" before might just pick up the compilation and open up their ears to some new sounds.

Is it mixed?

OH MY GOD.

I saw this, and just before clicking the link, I was like, "Man, if they put Sandstorm and/or Castles in the Sky on this album I'm going to kill someone."

BANG. FIRST FUCKING TRACK: Sandstorm.

I closed the window before the image finished loading. I don't care what else is on there. Anything good is simply disgraced by appearing on the same album as that god-awful piece of shit europop gheyness.

Posted by Woody4eva on Jul-29-2004 12:26:

Well, you can't argue with that.

There are some genius' on there though, BT etc.

Except at the end of Flaming June, you start getting Flip n Fill mixing in. >_<

Shit

If people wanna release cheese CD's, then why not. If they wanna release trance CD's and call them trance, that's fine. But when you start seeing Pretty Gren Eyes, Southern Sun, Be Cool, Castles in the Sky on the same list as all these classics, all called 'trance' when some of it is blatantly pop music, pisses me off.

CD Stores need a section for it

Cheese

I had a good laugh

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Jul-30-2004 16:44:

My brother bought this, and I gave him a good slapping, as there were about 4 tracks on it I didn't already own. Everything on there I either have on single or on a better mix. He totally wasted 17 quid on a shitely mixed festival of chart hits.

Posted by aloep on Jul-30-2004 16:49:

I will give them credit for managing to release an album with the word "Ibiza" in the title and NOT showing a sunset on the front cover!

xpander and 9pm (till I come) on the same cd...lord have mercy
