I need some recommendations on some new Quality trance! I've been so out of trance for almost half a year. I was just going through my collection and slipped in Chicane - Live @ Palladium 2000 and it's like my mind has been cleared.

After sifting through posts on the music discussion forums, i'd say 90% of the tracks and livesets posted on there are complete CRAP!!!

So what have you guys been listening to lately?

One track that brings back some good thoughts about this past Friday is Dumonde's Mix of DJ Marc Aurel - 'Running'. Other than that, I can't think of anything fantastic right now. I skip around genres quite a lot lately. I've always loved Blank & Jones, so there's some good stuff. Hatim's been poisoning my mind with Drum & Bass lately though...

that track and everything by blank and jones are so...cliché. like, it's got that typical trance formula that every avg trance track follows...and that typical trance synth that's in like 60% of trance tracks.

i'm looking for stuff like, midway - inca or jose amnesia - the eternal (pulser mix) or (aspiration mix)

p.s I Jungle

This is not a laughing matter, bwoy!

Jokes, but really, I hear ya. You want more to the side of what though? The kind of delectably dirty, hard tunage Mark Oliver drops (I Mark Oliver too, btw.), vocal stuff, uplifting, prog...? What is it you seek, grasshopper?

dirty yet soft, vocal but instrumental, progressive yet intriging, uplifting and original

any suggestions

oceanlab - beautiful together (signum remix) is all of these

see, im playing chicane's liveset and im thinking wow this is beautiful music. i bet if i heard this live i'd be dancing to no end.

then on comes dieselboy - sixth session and im just like wtf ->

the only somewhat decent trance tracks out there in the last 2 months for me would be these:

Antidote (a.k.a. L-Vee/Airwave) - Paraglider [Progrez]
De-Progression - Twilight (Original Version) [ATCR]
Trans Motion (a.k.a. Marc O Tool) - Ultraviolet E.P. (Monkey/Tribalcell) [Underworld]

let me know what u think of these tracks...

everything else is crap...IMHO No wonder I guess, I don't listen to trance anymore...

Depends. Listen to Digitallyimported.com! (Arg. And people MISSED the Exposure festival? Are you nuts??!?) Some of the mixes they put on are pretty good. OR amazing.

DJ ShoE Vol 4
Suzy Solar Perfect Trance 2.0
DJ Irish is good for hard trance
VA Heineken mix (DJ Push) I guess people got it in a case of beer in Israel and some plp said it sucked but I though it was good. I'm pretty ignorant to bad trance tho :P
Mischa - First Summer mix
Some DJ Doboy is good too.

If someone gets offended by the above suggestions don't flame me.
