ID Contest 96 - that's XCVI for you Romans
The games are again in full effect, and I don't mean no petty Olympics, but the 96th incarnation of the glorious TranceAddict forums' ID Contest!
There are 60 samples, each 15 seconds long, so it only takes 15 minutes to listen through them. The average year for the samples is 2007, I tried to chose a mix of not too obvious and not too obscure tracks.
Without further ado, here are the well known rules, somewhat abbreviated:
Whoops, looks like the sample pack got corrupted when I uploaded it. Should be a fixed one up in 10 minutes or so.
Edit: It's all good now!
Hi. Thanks for your work, I'll give it a shot the next days. 60 is a good number, 100 was too much. Hope I know a couple of tracks.
First entry received! A few more and we'll get a nice contest going!
Two entries so far, it's still possible to get a medal position just by entering quickly! 
I'll likely post the first scores tomorrow, so get cracking!
And the winner is! Eh... let's wait until the deadline for that.
So, slow start (as has been the rule for that last year), but let's hope we see some more action soon.
Points:
IN_RAINBOWS 53
DJ Tsunami 9
IN_RAINBOWS takes the lead with 29% of the maximum points, so there's still much room for improving upon his score. DJ Tsunami makes a more modest entry, but is still the first runner up in the contest.
Remember, sending in answers does not take a long time. No need to be shy just because you only know a handful, there might be someone else who knows about as much that you can compete with.
Hey, guys!
I'm on it))) BOOM!)
And we might have a new leader in the next score update. Might...
Moar players join in
We got two new entries, from Tresor7 and Henson.
Points:
Tresor7 64
Henson 64
IN_RAINBOWS 57 (+4)
DJ Tsunami 19 (+10)
Incredibly enough both of the new entries land on the same amount of points, taking a shared lead, pushing IN_RAINBOWS to third and DJ Tsunami off the medal places. However, they both improve their score, DJ Tsunami even doubling his.
Uniques:
Henson 4
IN_RAINBOWS 4
Tresor7 3
A very tight game in the uniques, though usually someone bombs away the uniques sooner or later.

2 times: 1, 8, 10, 22, 25 (+1 partial), 28, 31, 33 (+1 partial), 38, 49, 55
Really sucks to be me atm. 
Hope I find some more but am very unsure.
Movement at the bottom
One new entry, and one update this time.
Points:
Tresor7 64
Henson 64
IN_RAINBOWS 57
DJ Tsunami 38 (+19)
demens 32
DJ Tsunami continues to double his score (next time will be in the lead?) and narrows the gap to third place. demens joins the party and lands only a few points from DJ Tsunami. Exiting times!
Uniques:
IN_RAINBOWS 4
Henson 3 (-1)
Tresor7 2 (-1)
DJ Tsunami 2
demens 1
DJ Tsunami grabs two uniques with his last update, and removes one from Tresor7. demens also gets one and removes one from Henson, leaving IN_RAINBOWS alone on top.

I'll try to write some hints for the 18 unidentified tracks, maybe someone will grab a unique or two before the end.
Hints:
#05 From the album which many tracks featured the vocalist of Opus III fame.
#07 He did a quacking collab with Mr. Precursor/Surpresa.
#09 New remix of 1997 classic by Tijs, Ahmet and Greg.
#11 Did Nifra's boyfriend remove all his hair? Nope, it's still fluffy.
#13 Original was too plain, had to add some funky chunky breakbeats.
#14 BiG MiKE gets remixed by his northern neighbor, eh?
#16 Anjuna in the house! Still love the Nimmo & Bayer sound.
#19 Four Russians collaborated on this one for Trancemission. Arty was not involved AFAIK.
#20 Russian progressive house Anjuna producer remixed by Swiss duo (with one name).
#24 Remake of the 2006 remake of the Billie Ray Martin classic.
#38 The Swedish remixer (with a Turkish name) has remixed and been remixed by Gabriel & Dresden. Both tracks are superb!
#41 Has worked with Tsukerman and the other player Martinez.
#50 Ukrainian producer with name like Push's more common one team up with Russian producer who's collaborated with Santerna.
#51 Irish producer gets remixed by German hard-trance legend renowned for his one letter track names.
#52 Mashup of music from flashy Dutch trance legend's track and vocal sample from Scottish tech-trance legend's.
#53 That Irish producer from sample 51 remixes track by Plant's usual partner in crime.
#56 This Irish producer has gone coast 2 coast before going more techno.
#58 When this came out I called it the "ripoff of the ripoff of the month". Go back to 2001 and take me away.
Small updates
Tresor7 and DJ Tsunami updates their scores.
Points:
Tresor7 73 (+9)
Henson 64
IN_RAINBOWS 57
DJ Tsunami 41 (+3)
demens 32
DJ Tsunami makes a more moderate update this time, while Tresor7 is trying to secure his umpteenth win. Looks like those hints weren't impossible to decipher after all.
Uniques:
IN_RAINBOWS 4
Tresor7 4 (+2)
Henson 3
DJ Tsunami 3 (+1)
demens 1
Because they played on the hints, and didn't get the same ones, both rise in the uniques chart. But remember that someone else might also get the hints right. Soon.

Turning up the heat
Some updates which almost changes the leader and a new entry which hugely affects the uniques.
Points:
Tresor7 73
Henson 72 (+8)
IN_RAINBOWS 60 (+3)
DJ Tsunami 50 (+9)
Pokit 43
demens 32
Henson almost rises to the top with the last update, but is still one puny point away from Tresor7. The mid-pack guys also improve their scores, only 10 points away from each other. Also Pokit joins in and places a bit at the rear.
Uniques:
IN_RAINBOWS 4 (+/-0)
DJ Tsunami 3 (+/-0)
Tresor7 2 (-2)
Henson 1 (-2)
Pokit 1
demens 0 (-1)
Henson removes uniques from IN_RAINBOWS and DJ Tsunami, but both are able to compensate with a new one each. Pokit removes uniques from Tresor7, Henson and demens, in fact two from Henson, and pushes demens off the uniques chart, at the same time grabs one for himself. Also DJ Tsunami removes one from Tresor7, and thus raises himself to second.

Just over 9 hours left, people! I might not update the scores before the contest ends, so don't assume that nothing has changed! You might be disappointed.
With the force of a tsunami
Title says it all.

Huh, where did the rest go? 
Under 3 hours left!
BTW, DJ Tsunami pointed out that there was a mistake in the hints, the hint for #40 was for #41. It's fixed now.
With no more updates the winner is: Tresor7
Congratulations once again!

i didnt participate because in the last competitions I never had a clue...and by looking at the results I'm glad I didnt, because - no disrespect - but that is some horrible music. whats with all the mash ups? one of the reasons why i cant stand todays trance.
but if somebody does a pre 2005 (pre 2000 would be better still) contest Id be game
I'm actually surprised that I got third, I actually thought I was going to do a lot worse
