Newbie alert! Newbie alert!

Duck and cover! Rampant ignorance is coming to devestate you!

Hi, I'm Luke (19, m, MN USA). I'm very new to trance music, and only like some of it, but I'd like to find more trance music that I like. I really enjoyed Tiesto's 'In Search of Sunrise Vol 1' (though I'm still trying to figure out how to tag the tracks correctly).

My favorite tracks so far are '[Whowever, from In Search of Sunrise] - Remember', 'Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Moonman's Orange Juice Mix)', and 'Darude - Sandstorm'. And 'Transmutator - Orion', but I'm sure that doesn't count.

Suggestions for trance music along those lines (pumping, fierce, heavily textured, vocal-less trance) are great appreciated!

Anyway, thought I'd peep my head in and say hello.

Some friendly tips:

-Talking about "tagging your tracks correctly" isn't the best way to kick off your TA membership. Refer to this thread: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=184104

-Remember to use before posting a thread about topics that are likely to have been discussed before. But use some common sense. Bumping a three year old thread to suggest two new tracks is pretty pointless.

-Try to be constructive when posting in the New Releases-forum. Review the track properly instead of going "OMFG this was just played on GBDJ and it rocks!!!". Some release info would be nice also.

With all that said, welcome and have fun at TA.

For a minute I thought you liked progressive house because of your name, but I was waaaaaay off.

Good luck in your search to find music that you like.

Welcome to TA, I would advise you not to be so vocal about haveing a d/l'd copy of an album. If you don't understand refer to Sand Leaper's link. Also, I fixed the unknown artist track you had there. In the future if you have trouble figuring out what artist has done what and that sort of stuff refer to www.discogs.com. Now that being said, support the music. If you like Tiesto's ISOS 1 then buy it don't d/l it. Oh, and welcome to TA.

another TiT has dared step into the lions lair. Who knows what fads he'll end up enjoying and if he'll survive the never ending battle between the gods of good and the ASOT fans

LOL, yea, I think we've forgot to mention that there are some very vocal members of this board who, most of the time, aren't very tolerant of other people's differing tastes.

My, look at the size of this welcoming party!

That was a parenthetical, not a request for someone to do the job of tagging my tracks for me.

I'm pretty sure my own introduction hasn't been discussed before...

Okay. This isn't the 'New Release' forum, is it? I thought it was just the general 'Music Discussion' forum.

Yeah, actually it refer to progressive rock/metal that I loved about 5 years ago (Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, etc.) and still love. But it could also refer to computer programming, which I did about 7 years ago and then gave up :-)

I didn't download the album, I ripped the tracks I liked from the CD. But the freedb or CDDB (can't remember) service filled in 'DJ Tiesto' as the artist for the all the tracks and I no longer have the CD.

Does this site offer translation services? :-)

Apololgies then, I just assumed you downloaded it since you didn't have the TL off of the CD available.

Buy Tiesto - Magik 2, 5, and 6. If you can find them, get Tiesto - Forbidden Paradise 6-9, and someone else did Forbidden Paradise 10, which is good too.

Paul Oakenfold - Tranceport and Essential Selections (2001?)
Paul Oakenfold - Resident @ Cream

Kimball Collins - Generation Trance 2000

That should be a decent start.

tiesto did FP 3-7 (5-7 are best imo )

go out and buy:

oakenfold- transport
sasha- gu 13
paul van dyk- seven ways
paul van dyk- politics of dancing


basically if you want excellent trance you're going to have to buy stuff at least 3 or 4 years old...

Goodbye.

hello hi

haha just another piece of advice. u don't have to quote everything

At least by quoting he shows that he's well versed in message boards. (Or that he's a current user here trying to trick us in some fould ploy...).


ASOT stands for A State of Trance, Armin van Buuren's weekly trance show. GDJB stands for Global DJ Broadcast, Markus Schulz's weekly trance show. You can catch both of them over at www.ets-global.org. Armin's has been cancelled for now, but it'll probably be going again soon.

As someone else already stated, the people who stick around here generally have heard it all, so they have very specific tastes, usually songs no one else has ever heard of (they like it that way, it makes them unique /sarcasm). And generally they will come out and flame you for liking what you like.

That being said, listening to GDJB and ASOT as a new trance fan is a good idea, it'll get you a lot of new tracks to try out, and you can get a feel for some of the music. And check into Music Discussion and new releases for current hot tracks.

Wow, thanks - that's more suggestions than my budget can take!

Spoken by someone with this avatar. :-)

Anyway, I'm too new to trance to know if I like the good stuff or the bad stuff or both. (For example, I've been watching movies long enough to know I generally don't like crappy movies, but that wasn't always the case, and certainly isn't true of my friends' tastes. But my movie tastes are generally more critical than my music tastes. For example, I enjoy hair metal even though most of it 'sucks,' and there's a lot of reportedly really good music I don't care for.)

BTW, does 'trance addict' imply that most people here don't like much music besides trance, or that trance is their favorite genre?

Alot of people here don't like trance, as it is presented by ASOT and GDJB (which would be the majority of it, it seems). Only morons listen to those radio shows.

So stay away from it. Go back a few years and listen to the older stuff, it'll do you good.

far from it most people on this board would agree that trance has gone pretty shit now.
Personally my favourite genres r techno and tech-trance

I bet thats going to step on some toes

Most people who listen to EDM have seperated the one genre into several sub genres. While it exists in the conscious of many Americans, and other noobs as all being Techno, devotees of several of the subgenres have emerged.

Some of the more popular sub genres around here are trance, prog (progressive trance and house), house, psy, breaks, and possibly some industrial

I refer you to Ishkur's webpage who has put it much better than most:
http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html



(Or, you could just tell people you listen to electronic music)

trance has only gone downhill to the experienced listeners... the noobs will still have a great time with all the crap...

clubbing might also help you find your stylistic niche; seeing a variety of djs up close will help winnow away the stuff you find least desirable and it will give you a better handle on the edm scene as a whole

Yea, I'd recommend that or hitting up some of the various online stations.

You like it? It's good stuff, full stop.

It means one day we liked trance - some of us just don't listen to it anymore. Sincerely, I like Acid Trance and NRG, which would be considered Hardhouse and Acid Techno by most users, so...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've decided about music.
