Soemone is asking me for trance recommendations...
...and he's a relative newb to the genre. He knows some of the larger hits that have had major commercial success (Sandstorm, As the Rush comes, etc.) and is pushing for more tunes in the same vein. Given his novelty to the genre, I'd say anything from the early Magik series through the re-re-re-emergence of electro (2005 or so, right?) should be fair game.
I've got several ideas myself, but I'd like to hear anyone's recommendations. So, perhaps I'm asking for a recollection thread of some of the biggest tunes over that time span?
Save him some time and point him to house instead

Someone is asking you for trance recommendations, so you're making a thread asking for trance recommendations. Brilliant!

I've got several songs in mind but I'm sure there are dozens if not hundreds of songs I've missed or forgotten. I'm hoping someone else can shed some light 
LOL 
I don't get this fixation with 'the biggest tunes'.

I think the idea here is to expose someone to a genre. If you were trying to expose someone to rock, would you give them Led Zeppelin or some regional hit wonder?
Is this really that odd of a request?

Always thought the Trancemaster series was really good.
(Also among the oldest compilation series)

There is a new one:
If you want the Led Zeppelin analogy for trance, then go with anything from Oliver Lieb. Probably Best Of L.S.G. is a good starting point, although you can't go wrong with Rendezvous In Outer Space either.
hmm, i seriously doubt a newbie would appreciate anything hardcore/underground/critically acclaimed
if he's looking to see where the genre is currently at, something commercial like Armin's ASOT 2008 should one way or another point him to whether he likes trance or not
if he's not looking for current the ISOS series should work I guess...

| Originally posted by kliq in my experience it helps get newbies on their way, till their tastes get more refined, and they can digest sounds they cant easily identify with in the beginning however i am generalizing, and if the person in question wants to challenge himself/herself, then throwing commercial out of the window might not be a bad idea... |
