I have been a fan of trance ever since I listened to the entire tranceport CD. I know of DJ Tiesto and oakenfold for artists. I have heard the pink and gray CDs of trance nation, I thought those were decent, but nothing compares to oakenfold's tranceport so far that I have heard. I might as well ask of any "must hear" tracks or CDs and suggestion of any artists for trance also. I am getting a pioneer 4600 that plays mp3s, I will probably get a huge mix (many cds in a row) of mp3s in one cd. I am searching and downloading on Kazza, it works fairly well. It is hard to dl whole cds with individual tracks (it is nice to skip between) when I burn. So individually listed tracks of a good CD would be very helpfull.
Thanks a lot.

Just look for these producers:
Tilt, Chicane, Ferry Corsten, System F, Vimana, Gouryella, Matt Darey, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Marcus Schulz, Benz & MD, Junkie XL, Sander Kleinenburg, Sasha, Paul Van Dyk, Bedrock, Lange, Ascension, Agnelli and Nelson, Transa and Way Out West. That's all I feel like listing now, but you will probably enjoy most of these producers if you like old Oakenfold trance.

well, I pretty much like all trance, those artists will give me plenty to dl, but I would like to keep things organized instead of dling songs from various cds of an artist. I'll get started on dling some paul van dyk and shasha, I have heard they are good.

check out sets / albumns from armin van buuren, jochen miller, mark norman, ernesto and bastian, george acousta, blank and jones, ton tb, ron van den beuken, ronald van gelderen, midor and six4eight. i can go on and on if you like.

ps. thats for trance. most people here will reccommend you shitty progressive - accept no substitute!

I know everyone has different tastes, but if anyone could name specific CDs that are consitered by nearly all to be quality trance, that would be great.
edit: I actually like progressive, at least what I have heard.

Scott Bond - Ahead 1

realllly good cd and perfect as an introduction to trance.

Give it a couple years Jessica, and you might actually like progressive. Not necessarily G&D prog trance, but deeper stuff.

You know yourself better than I, but I had the exact same philosophy myself. I didn't even like Sasha and Digweed much, unless it was one of their transier sets. Don't be too surprised if it changes. And I'm not trying to start shit or anything, the banner just caught my attention. I just don't know why people classify G&D as proggy. They are way closer to trance than proggy most of the time.

you are a wise woman

It's just how they 'think' you'll go, not realising that everyone is unique, and you may like me prefer to get into techno or psychedelic or just stick in trance than join the sheep listening to prog or breaks or whatever music is more 'intelligent' at the time
