Oddity

This may sound odd, but trance creates images in my head of amazing environments. For instance, to me, Magik 6 evokes a starry night atop a cliff with an encompassing beach. There's a mass of people there and a dj with a neon booth just churning out the jams. I was wondering if anyone else gets these sensations/images to specific tracks or sets in their head.

When I listen to Paul Oakenfold: Global Underground New York (Disk 2), I get the most amazing visions in my head. Each song creates a different music video in my mind. For example, when I hear Junk Project - composure, I imagine a world that's in eternal twilight, where the whole landscape is covered by blue ice, and is inhabited by a race much older than anything on earth.

The music that "tranceports" me the most is probably that of BT. BT - Embracing the Sunshine, just puts me on the beach, with the most relaxed vibe. Another tune is BT - Nocturnal Transmission. This tune makes me feel like I'm partying in a giant utopian village in the middle of the south American rainforest. There are so many tunes that take me some place. Here are a few.

Solar Stone - Seven Cities (V-One Mix)
BT vs. PvD - Flaming June
Salt Tank - Eugina
Jamez presents Tatoine - Music
29 Palms - Touch the Sky
Gus Gus - Purple (Sasha vs. The Light Mix)
Sasha - Xpander
Paul van Dyk - Another Way
Paul van Dyk - Forbidden Fruit
Paul van Dyk - Vega
Bedrock - Beautiful Strange
Amoeba Assassin - Piledriver (Grayed out Summer Dub)
Kamaya Painters - Far From Over
Solar Stone - Solar Coaster
3 Drives - Greece 2000
Joker Jam - Innocence
BT - Mercury and Solace
BT - Sunblind
Starecase - Lost 22 (Max Graham Remix)
Y-traxx - Mysteryland
Transa - Prophase
Jones and Stephenson - The First Rebirth (Airwave Mix)
Solid Sessions - Janiero (Armin Mix)
Noa Assembly - Into the Fire
Accessive Rhythm - Activate
P.O.S. - Amnesiac
Mirco de Govia - Things that Matter

There are so many more, but It would take me hours to list them all

i experience this phenomenon when i have a head full of acid (or mescal)... close your eyes and a world shapes in front of you.. its amazing... very intriguing, although in my... sober state of mind nothing like that really happens with any vividity.. sure i can see stuff in my head but it just seems really faint ... ahh the wonder of chemicals

this is odd also, but i thougt it was funny at the time... The first time i rolled, my friends started watching this god damn retarded movie called "Groove", its like a damn documentary on drugs at clubs or something... except they try acting it out. If you've seen it before, i'm sorry. If not, don't bother with it. Anyway, the movie sucked so i got up and started juggling my 3 koosh balls and my friend closed his eyes and 10 minutes later stands straight up and tells us about this wonderful daze he went into, he said the four of us were all standing around licking on a pill the size of his living room... we all laughed and went on with our business.

Hehe, it is odd but certainly not abnormal. It doesn't happen to me but everyone's different.

joker jam - innocence (paul van dyk mix)
at the break i see a warm beach on a sunday morning/afternoon with seagulls out at sea and i'm feeling the best feeling

it seems like you guys do it more vividly than me though, without drugs

Happens to me too
I like to link songs to emotions, colors, places, people and atmospheres - just happens naturally for me. Sometimes it could be a simple element in a transition or a song that fires my imagination off.

eessh, lay off the drugs ppl

now, regarding the original posters comment, there are DEFINITELY tracks where, given the right moment (for me, laying down, dark and no other sounds but the music) things just happen, but taht might be from years of drug use way back when
