For me it was Crystal Method's classic album "Vegas." Still don't get tired of listening to it to this day

Posted by Fallbrook on Nov-12-2001 10:34:

personally, it was ATB that started it for me, from there on i developed a taste for the deep, dark progressive stuff

Posted by Coup on Nov-12-2001 15:00:

Back in 1990

One of my friends was a techno dj back then and he lent me alot of his records to listen to. One group in particular got me interested in the genre, which ultimately led to my love for trance. I think the group's name was n-joy, the song was called mindflux. A very energetic, trippy and fairly deep techno tune for back then.

It all started for me when I was 12 or 13. I was into hard rock (Skid Row, Bon Jovi etc). Then, I heard 2 Unlimited (Really cheesy techno). My favourite songs were the remixed that had no lyrics. My love of this electronic sound was perpetuated by the following:

Culture Beat - Serenity
BKS
Chris Sheppard Trip Album Series
Morning Wave - Dreams (Miss Shiva - Dreams)
Legend B - Lost in Love (Baby Doc Remix)
Asral Projection - Power Gen
Man with No Name - Floor Essence (Dayglo Mix)
Commander Tom - are am eye

and many more.

The person I have to credit the most though, is a Toronto Area DJ that many have heard of, DR. TRANCE. The doctor had his show, "The Dr. Trance Radio Hour' on every weekend on Toronto Stations. He played the best trance music ever, and introduced me to many of the tracs listed above (namely, the last 5 listed).

The Doctor is now a contributor to these forums (in the local Toronto scene forums for example), and hosts an online radio program that every trance loving human should check out. Its at www.1groove.com and under the show "technopolis".

I dont mean to make this sound like a shameless plug, but I must give credit to those that deserve it. Hopefully, it can "start it" for someone else too.

Cheers

I was really into dance music since about the age of 12, then i downloaded DJ Tiesto Live @ Innercity '99 and have been totally addicted since

Robert Miles - Children *shivers evey time I hear that song....Its sooo good!*

Posted by cryptic_reign on Nov-13-2001 03:08:

I have been in love with dance music ever since my birth. When I was younger i loved Disco and Electro (breakdance music). In the mid 90's I heard Children and I was like "Oh my GOD!" I didn't even get into trance until 2000.

Posted by naeblis on Nov-13-2001 03:25:

Storm - Storm.
PVD - For an Angel

and some of the cosmic baby stuff...

after that... i just really grew into the addiction.

good question for a thread. ive always been a fan of dance music. always listened to the cheesy dance remixes of pop songs and what not and gradually progressed from there. but my now love for trance and the many other forms of electronic music started when i first heard space girl - something for your mind. that was my first favorite trance song. also, bad boy bill and richard humpty vission's cd banging the box 2 was my shit.

Hehehe cool thread ...

I started off just being a red neck farm boy in New Zealand, growing up listening to AC/DC and that sort of thing, then when I went to university in the big city I became a right old ska-punker and played bass in a few bands. When I finished with that I moved to London in 1999, I was staying in this shit hole flat with a couple of my old pals from back home who were right into the Aussie and Kiwi clubbing scene down in London, they used to thrash the hard house / hard trance 24 hours a day round the house.

For the first couple of weeks I lived there, I was like 'what the fuck has happened to you guys, listening to all this lame techno, what a bunch of pussies' but secretly I was quite enjoying these new sounds around the house, then one night after we'd had a few beers in the local we went out to Fahrenhite and my mind was pretty much blown by how cool it was, I was like a total religious convert, went out and bought Trance Nation 1 and a Platipus compilation the next day and some cool cyber gear from Camden Cyberdog, that was a pretty bloody good year for trance as y'all might recall. I ended up totally more into trance than the other boys, they created a monster

*sigh* those were the days

/me weeps tears of nostalgia for 1999

I was a huge fan of "Eurostyle" by a DJ in Chicago since 1996. That music has increasingly gone to the cheese factory in the past couple of years, so I became less interested.

About 18 months ago, this same DJ released a progressive trance CD, and I was hooked. Songs like:

Pulsedriver - Take you high
Watergate - Heart of Asia
Marc Et Claude - Another Dimension

began to convert me to the trance style.
This DJ has since released 2 more Progressive Trance Cd's which I also love.

What has really reeled me in is this website. My 2 current favorite mixes are 2 livesets from here:

Armin Van Buuren Live at Club Eau 3-18-00 and
DJ Tiesto at the 2 Year Club Eau celebration 6-3-01.

I know I'm somewhat "behind the times" but Chicago radio, basically ignores this type of music (Britney Spears and Jay Z are not dance music). I rely heavilly on reviewers and the message boards on this site to try and keep up.

i first heard faithless - insomnia in like 1996, and i was amazed! i had never been driven by music like that before... but not being too bright, i didnt explore that genre any further ... then a few years later i was heavily into the music by artists like dune and such, and then sometime later i first went to a trance party and I WAS IN HEAVEN! i was finally exposed to the type of music i had been looking for ALL ALONG!!

yay for trance

i knew this german guy online and he made this flash movie for his clan and it had Paffendorf - Where are you- playing and i loved that song and told him to send it to me. then i got a Euromix with that song and kosmonova - danse avec moi in it and i got all the Kosmonova songs and just got hooked

It's Jean-Micel Jarre and Vangelis and such that got me into electronic music when I was 7 or 8 years old or so, loved it ever since.
But the album that really got me into trance as we know it now is Tiesto live @ Innercity. It also turned me into a Tiesto-Addict for life.
