A house listener's view of the trance scene...

I'm curious to see what u guys think of the list I put together of my favorite trance artists; coming from the perspective of a househead. Do I have fairly knowledgable viewpoint of your scene or no?

Obviously I know of the big names like Van Buuren, Tiesto, Van Dyke, A&B, Sasha, Schultz, G&D, Christopher Lawrence, Blank & Jones, Sean Tyas, etc.

But here are the ones that I prefer and think are the best your genre has to offer. Because even though I listen to house I can't help but enjoy the sound coming from these artists.

Ferry Corsten - Right of Way/Are You Ready/Its Time
Perry O'Neil - (my personal favorite)South West Saga/Numb/Fuel/Waveforce
Andy Moor - Whiteroom
Marcel Woods - Decade/Advanced
Marco V - Stimulated/C-Del/More than A Life Away
SVD - Deep/Punk'd/Dark Roast
Interstate - I Found U/Remember Me
Jonas Steur - Castamara
4-Strings - Diving/Sunrise/Turn It Around
Estuera - 7 Clouds/Tales from the South/Red Shores
Ron Van Den Beuken - Endless/Sunset
Ozgur Can - Irony/Zero Hours
Re:Locate aka Octagen & Paul Moelands - Typhoon/Rouge
Signum - First Strike/Timelord/Second Wave

Am I correct in saying this? You think I should add someone? Lemme know? Be as critical as you like.

I am kinda lost as to your actual question. You want us to relay what our opinion is of your knowledge on a genre you profess to not know much about by reviewing a list of artists and productions you seem to like?

If this is the case then I would suggest not worrying about it.

Listen to what you fucking like, ffs.

You probably don't know much about house either.

i think people here are long overdue in the realization that MUSIC IS SUBJECTIVE and there is no right or wrong list of what is ok to listen to.

Why do you need some internet BBS's opinion of your taste in music?

It's an ok list, but BEST? No fucking way. Right of Way and Whiteroom would be my picks in your list. Nothing more.

I'll offer a few other suggestions based on the artists you listed
Ferry Corsten-Star Traveller/Fire
Andy Moor-Halcyon (Original and Alex Morph Mix)
Audioholics-External Key (Original and Perry O'Neil Remix)
Ozgur Can-Changed/Over Nothing at All
Ozgur Can-Connected (Santiago Nino Remix)
Marco V-Red Blue Purple
Piece Process-Solar Myth (Markus Schulz Breaks Mix)
Mark Otten-Tranquility (Markus Schulz Remix)
Shpongle-Dorset Perception (Sasha Involver Mix)

But as said before, it's all subjective. Don't change your tastes just because others don't agree with them.

I've been saying this from day one, but most of MD still fails to realize it. In fact the last line of my signature has been there since my first day here.

Posted by eRRaTiK on Apr-03-2007 09:37:

your question opens itself to too much subjectivity. Everyone has their own taste (hopefully) so what's "best" to you is not the same to somebody else, and vice versa.

Jonas Steur - Castamara
Adam White & Andy Moor pres Whiteroom - The White Room (note there's two people involved)

Nice choices. I like them.

I'd throw in my list (to name a few)...

Gouryella - Tenshi/Walhalla/Gouryella
Binary Finary - 1998
Three Drives � Greece 2000
GTR - Mistral
Jose Amnesia - The Eternal
Chicane - Saltwater
Sasha - Xpander
Way Out West feat Trisha Lee Kelshall - Mindcircus (Gabriel & Dresden Mix)

and a whole lot more but I won't go any further as there's a shitload of threads that list this kind of stuff.

of course it's correct to like the music, there are some good osngs in there, there's much more, but still that won't take the beauty of the tunes you already like.

Just love music, fuck the genre!

First of all, it's Van Dyk, not Dyke. secondly, Irony is house. Thirdly, It's Time is house. And forth, I Found U sucks (but hey, whatever you like, right?)

I would reccomend:

Jowan- Faceplant
Y.O.M.C.- Welcome 2 Wonderland (Club Mix)
Cygnus X- Superstring (Rank 1 Remix)
Santa Cruz- Imagine (DJ Jan & Christopher Chantiz Remix)
Hepba- Daquirarrez (DJ Choose & F's Strawberry Ice Mix)
DuMonde- Human
M.U.T.E.- Missed Beat (DuMonde Remix)
Barthezz- On The Move (DuMonde Remix)

Oldies, but goodies!!!

Ferry is cool.. one that still makes quality stuff
Andy Moor - Whiteroom
Love this track
Marcel Woods - Decade/Advanced
Advanced is so cool.
Marco V - Stimulated/C-Del/More than A Life Away
Marco V is nice
SVD - Deep/Punk'd/Dark Roast
Sander van Crap
Interstate - I Found U/Remember Me
Good tune
Jonas Steur - Castamara
Jonas Steur is one of the crappiest trance producers in the scene today
4-Strings - Diving/Sunrise/Turn It Around
4 Strings is alright.
Estuera - 7 Clouds/Tales from the South/Red Shores
Jonas Steur, overrated crap
Ozgur Can - Irony/Zero Hours
Never liked him
Re:Locate aka Octagen & Paul Moelands - Typhoon/Rouge
Boring
Signum - First Strike/Timelord/Second Wave
Second Wave is one of the better trance tracks.

This is what I think of your suggestions, i listen to a variety of genres but trance is my favorite.

I dont like posts like this though, cause everybody seems to have their own opinion on what is the best tracks and artists, and as long it differs from mine, it annoys me.

Some of the very best of trance comes from M.I.K.E in the 98-03 period, in my opinion. I also like most of the "fluffy" trance Ferry made back in 2000.

"Wha...what's going on with my hips? They seem to be moving on their own! This never happens when I listen to trance."
"It's called 'feelin' the funk', man."

TA's = Cocky ass uber-conceited single sided trendy "music" fans

For the most part

Don't give two shits to what these fucks say. Like what you like because I gaurentee anything you say to them they're not going to care and just disrespect you for liking anything other than what they think is good...which typically isnt

lol, but they are consumed in their own egotistical conceptions of what is "elite" and what is "scumfully commercial"...haha.

But if my opinion is of any value, I would at least take 4 strings off of the list...then we might be getting somewhere.
