Emotional tracks for a Non-believer

I got into this discussion with my gf about housemusic, especially trance, not having any emotions in it like "popmusic" has.

Its more like the blood, sweat and tears story if you know what i mean.

Ofcourse i disagreed with her and she told me to let her listen to some tracks that show that it's not "just" pushing some buttons to make housemusic(trance).

For example:

AvB - Communication
Vincent de Moor - Shamu
Alibi - Eternity.. to quickly name a few

besides those there are a lot more tracks out there that can convince her

Suggestions?

Most pop songs get their emotion from the vocal elements. If you play some trance songs with emotional vocals to your gf then she may appreciate it more. Stuffs like:

Jan Johnston - Flesh (Tiesto Mix)
Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Gabriel & Dresden Mix)
Matt Darey Presents Mash Up - Beautiful
Lovechild - Liberta (Moonman Mix)
James Holden - Nothing (Original Mix)
Iio - Rapture (Riva Mix)
The Morrigan - Remember
Sholan - Can you feel (Thrilseekers Mix)
Push vs. Sunscreem - Please Save me (Original)
Olive - You not alone (Oakenfold & Osbourne Mix)
Perpetuous Dreamer - The sound of goodbye
Oceanlab - Beautiful Together (Signum Remix - DanceAddict's Edit)
Comanova - Wishful Thinking (Original Mix)

Some of these are slightly cheesy vocals but will more to a pop music listener.

Armin Van Buuren ft. Ray Wilson - Yet another day (original mix)

Since she likes Pop, I'm guessing lyrics are important for her, so there you go

William Orbit : Barbers Adagio 4 Strings [Ferry Corsten Remix]
Pulp Victim : The World
Ghostland feat. Sinead o'Connor : Guide me God [Paul van Dyk]
Olive : You're not alone
Floyd : Come together

Let her listen to these tunes! Btw, your gf lies, if she still argues that Trance has no emotions!!

I let my new gf listen to some tracks to see what she thought of trance.
Rank 1 - Airwave &
Airwave - When Things Go Wrong
got her a little emotional from what I can tell.
Gouryella - Ligaya &
Human Evolution - Human Evolution (Club Mix)
didn't do it for her...

Some really uplifting trance would probably get your girlfriend's attention. Here are some old suggetions:

Firewall - Reflections
Jose Amnesia - The Eternal (Sunrise Mix)
TasteXperience - Tantrix

Posted by robbyradz on Jan-17-2003 22:26:

Gouryella - Tenshi
Shane 54 - I love you
Corderoy - Sweetest Dreams
traveller - bright sun (trance mix)
rollergirls - dear jessie

Just to name a few of mine.

It's hard to get someone to actually sit down and listen to trance with a non critical ear if they are so stuck on their music. My boyfriend only listens to and spins breaks and he will not give trance a chance. He just dooesn't know how damn good it is! Breaks don't give you emotions like trance does

Oh, and to convince your gf, I would definately go with vocal trance.

Iio-Rapture is a good one. Riva mix or even Deep Dish mix. The Creamer and K remix is good too
Barthezz-On The Move
The Thrillseekers feat. Sheryl Deane-Synaestesia(Fly Away)
10th Planet-Ghosts

You just said exactly what i meant to say with this topic

and you're absolutly right when saying that its hard to convince someone. but i'm giving it a shot

First off, we'll agree that the basic element we want to present her is the emotion, IE melody, which means we do NOT want to show her songs that go a lot without a melody, cause she'd be bored for 6 minutes waiting for the 30 seconds peak (That's why Ligaya, for example, didn't do shit for her).

I would also recommend using radio edits ... They are designed for the wider crowd and don't have the intros or outros that will bore your GF terribly.

Also, some tracks have only power, others have power combined with emotion... We don't want either of these, we want stricktly emotion. No "Hard - Uplifting" stuff, sorry.

And as mentioned, since people who aren't really into Trance ussually find their emotions in the lyrics, we might be off with mainly vocal Trance.

And last but not least, you have to consider the possibility of giving her some of them "Euro Trance" (Cheese, as they are reffered to here) cause they are indeed designed for the wider crowds and as with many TAs, they have been the bridge into Uplifting Trance.

Now, I would recommend:
Delerium - Silence (Airscape radio edit)
Moonman - Galaxia (Solar Stone remix vs. Young Hearts Run Free) >>> Which is ussually found as "Solar Stone vocal mix"
IIO - Rapture (Riva radio edit)
Dario G - Feels Like Heaven (Radio edit)
Kosheen - Catch (Ferry Corsten remix)
Lolo - Sunset
System F - Out of the Blue (radio edit)
Rising Star - Touche Me (Vocal mix)
Ocean Lab - Sky Falls Down (Original Vocal mix) >>> This will capture her

Posted by DJ_Skaya on Jan-18-2003 09:01:

The Thrillseekers - Dreaming of You
Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down
Madonna - What it Feels Like For A Girl (Above and Beyond Remix)
Sun Decade - I'm Alone (Mirco de Govia remix)
Mirco de Govia - Epic Monolith
4 Strings - Into the night(Original or Vocal mix)

Even tho I hate the vocal version of Into The Night, maybe you should play her that one because it might appeal more to the non-trance fan. Hope I could help

Yeah, if you give her something too hard she'll probably think it's kinda cheesy. Even so, another tune I would suggest is:

Sunblind - Believe (Nu-NRG extended mix)

If you can't find that one, download Nu-NRG's 9-7-02 set, live @ Orgasmatron, it's the last track they play

Also,

Kosheen - Catch (Ferry Corsten Remix)

was a very good suggestion

You people are amazing thx

Posted by noikeee on Jan-18-2003 17:13:

Solar Stone ft. Elizabeth Fields - Speak In Sympathy <--- vocal
Solar Stone - Solarcoaster
Young Parisians - U Write The Rules (Solar Stone Remix)
Sirocco - Release

basically, anything from these guys. she could possibly still don't like, but these are VERY emotive and that's what you want to show her.

Angelic Touchdown - Marinero (Nu NRG Extended Mix)
Angel One - Hold Me Tonight
Project Medusa vs Exor - Moonshine (Megara vs DJ Lee Remix)
4 Strings - Take Me Away
4 Strings - Diving
Aurora - The Day It Rained Forever (Lasgo Vocal Mix)
Brooklyn Bounce - Bring It Back (Radio Edit)

lsg - wrong place wrong time. now that is trance.

Posted by Blue. on Jan-18-2003 17:44:

Markuz Schultz - You Won't See Me Cry (Deepsky Mix)
Olive - Outlaw (Space Brothers Mix)

Posted by Maxim303 on Jan-18-2003 19:15:

anything vocal by the Space Brothers should do the trick! Space Brothers - Shine, Chakra - Home, Chakra - Love Shines Through, Ascention - Someone (this track has brought sooo many of my female freinds into trance, back in 1999.. they're hardcore tranceheads now!)
