I wouldn't heed it. That list is a load of bollocks and a good portion of the tracks it ranks highest are nowhere near trance. Seriously... Phat Planet, trance?

Certainly is up there for me.

What an incredible song.

Don't take the lists of some 18 years old's so serious...
Track is good, but the greatest trance track ever? Definitely not.

And, it's Digeridoo BTW


Posted by Orko on Mar-27-2007 13:23:

After looking at the list, that is one hell of a top 15. Maybe not the greatest ever, but a solid list none the less.

Taking this stuff to seriously does not help anybody. The author wanted to make a list, and thats what they did. It is not definitive, and not all encompassing, so don't worry if your favorite tune is not on there. Its just somebody's opinion.

Not bad actually.........

digeridoo is a crazy mental acid breakbeat track, i guess its trance though


Posted by distant on Mar-27-2007 23:40:

That's a pretty fuckin' random list you've got there. First time I've seen Balil - Parasight (which is a solid tune) mentioned next to the usual poppy prog-trance. Not to mention Cherry Bomb - Eclipse. And throwing Psychic TV into that bunch, what the fuck, seriously? I could go on, but I won't.

EDIT: Not criticizing by the way, I've just never met a person who likes epic trance AND acid/oldschool trance. Except maybe Cobalt.

There are plenty more.

Also, Digeridoo is exceptional. In the context of its release, it must have been mind-blowing.

a good list for the most part, but i think the following should all be MUCH higher:

185. minimalistix - close cover
221. jan johnston - flesh (tiesto mix)
233. johnny shaker - pearl river
237. cass & slide - perception (vocal mix)
281. art of trance - easter island (cygnus x mix)
289. warrior ft. imogen bailey - if you want me
354. lustral - everytime

and then there's some pretty undeserving tracks towards the bottom (commander tom - attention!, coca & villa - la noche, whiteroom - someday, etc.), and others like fragma - toca's miracle, signum - what ya got 4 me, freefall - skydive, that are just on his "to download" (whatever that means) list...


Posted by Orko on Mar-28-2007 06:25:

Agree with his top 15 songs much more than his top 15 albums.


Posted by Nik Novo on Mar-28-2007 06:51:

There is no such thing as "greatest xy ever". Any toplist is quite subjective.

I don't get it, why everything always has to be on some list. Just let it be, some people like it more, some less. That's the deal.

So? You can make this kind of lists too...
The point is that the topic starter took this list too serious as if it's some kind of official trance list.


Posted by Arbalest on Mar-28-2007 18:39:

meh what a crap list.


Posted by beats and beeps on Mar-28-2007 20:35:

polynomial C is afxs best trance track in my opinion.

I know its not official but it's the best I found of its kind so when this particular song came out of nowhere and went to #1 (when the top 10 seemed pretty solid) I wanted to know if it was legit

I soon bored of Digeridoo when it was originally released. I couldn't even say it's a trance track.

I'd have to look through my back catalogue at home for a personal top 10 but my number 1 would be Solar Stone - The Calling (Jonas Steur Remix). Been around in Jonas Steur mixsets for years but it's finally seen its official release. "As I looked across the still waters, a voice spoke to me from the darkness. It said "this is the threshold to your sub-conscious"". Recently Steur seems to have lost his way a little in my book but at his best he's an absolute genius & this remix turned what was originally a poor track into a work of art

It's a controversial choice & it wont be as well known or popular as 100's of other trancers but for me this track sums up absolutely everything I loved about trance.

...Then again what do I know? I'm the only person in the world who despises Born Slippy I'd struggle to describe it as trance too.
