The best trance track ever...and why?
The topic says it all 
Opinions? Feel free to elaborate on the why part 
lol
way too many great tracks to name.
but it'd definitely have to be something from 98-99? the so called "classics" era anyhow
energy 52 - cafe del mar?
=p
Built - Cried to Dream (Max Graham Remix)
Cant explain in words
Blank & Jones - Cream
tony walker - Field of joy(origianl mix)
10 minutes of the most emotional track.
Another I guess is Dj tiesto - suburban train. tracks that you can really take the time to listen to the whole thing and look back is the best part.
I think I would have to go with Xpander, for a variety of reasons.
Xpander represents a sort of golden moment in history when trance and progressive were married in harmony; as a result, it has been accepted and acclaimed across a wide range of trance genres today. It represents the peak ascent of progressive house into progressive trance, a moment of purity, elegance, and unity in the scene that has gone unparalleled since. In short, Xpander is the centerpiece of the '99-era. It is the essence of global renaissance and transcendence during those years that many pine for today.
Technically it is simple, yet complex. Powerful, yet smooth. Energetic, yet soulful. An ideal peak-hour tune, yet also a perfect finale. It is not simply a masterpiece of sound in the realm of electronica, but in music overall. Xpander didn't mearly rise above the standard; it created the standard. It has proven to have longevity far beyond its peers and, to me personally, it never gets old; only deeper. I can name few other pieces of music that stand for as much as Xpander stands for.
Most other tracks pale in comparison. The original stands like a monolith over the many simple creations that have followed it. I highly doubt that it can ever be remixed with even the slightest chance of success. There are other legendary productions comparable to Xpander, but I don't think they quite reach the heights of Sasha's transcendent anthem.
It expands your consciousness. It expands your emotions. It expands your perceptions. It is Xpander.
i have a tie, two favorites
fire and ice - neverending melody
and
fire and ice - forever young
thye are the two most beautiful trance songs i have ever heard, since the first time i heard them, and i never get tired of either, and i have two of each on vinyl =)
Dj Tiesto - Magik Journey
This track defines trance for me. It has all the elements that make a trance tunes its best. The emotion filled intro, sweet vocal, wicked bassline, phat beat, emotion filled breakdown, then the sweeping strings comes in with the climax. I dont think Tiesto can make another Magik Journey.

As i always say ...
Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia
too many..
AP-axis v099
tilt - children
gus gus - purple (sasha vs the light)
Two have always stood out for me:-
Sundance - wont let this feeling go (Commie remix). This one is special because I first heard it on a mix CD by a mate of mine. He picked me up from Uni' to take me home for Easter. When this track dropped in the mix we were driving into the sunset with the windows down and the clear air rushing in. It was a great moment.
the second is:-
Kamaya Painters - Endless wave (Albion remix). You know when you are listening to a track for the 1st time and you want it to go in a certain direction, have certain key changes etc. This tune did exactly what I wanted and thought it would do and I love it for that.
