MarathonMan's most wanted: Spooky - Gargantuan

Probspot - Foreplay (Original Mix) (Okay a bit more energetic than most deep stuff, but still I would consider it deep, euphoric with a tad of epic trance)

Radiate - Crystal Clear (Solar Method's Lake Side Mix) (A tune from last year that I never heard until I downloaded the MP3 last week, beautiful guitars, pretty deep i'de say, a classic Alucard sound that is amazing) I guess I could also note Alucard's remix of Matthew Adams pres. Stratosphere "Sunscape" as well. A very similar track/remix.

Ahmet Ertenu - Why (Original Mix) (Heard this for the first time on Tiesto's ISOS 4. Love the melody and the beat, very deep i'de say with a nice bassline and a totally euphoric feeling to it)

Kalafut & Fygle - 3579 KM (Original Mix) or Lullaby (Both are extremely euphoric, deep, melodic and definitely surreal/ethereal. Kind of makes you feel like your near some bay or coastal area, floating through space or roaming some jungle. Haha what this kind of music does to your psyche/imagination)

Mark Otten - Mushroom Therapy (Lightscape Mix) (Two years old, still gives me the shivers listening to it after hearing it on Armin's Universal Religion CD. Kind of feels like your in some other world, it's unbelievable.

I love universal religion.. That cd is awesome! The name of that tune does something for me as well

Yeah it does something to me as well...amazing CD. It is probably Armin's next best in my opinion to Boundaries of Imagination. I really think Armin does better CDs when they are just one CD, so he can concentrate on the one. In my opinion most of his double CDs like his ASOT 2005...although good, just don't flow as well or have the same feeling as Universal Religion or Boundaries of Imagination. ASOT 2005 and ASOT 2004 are just in my opinion...a bunch of tracks strung together to be an example of his radio show, but don't quite have the magic those two CDs did. The best mixed CDs, in my opinion, tell a story (or could possibly tell a story) or flow as to be in itself a work of art, not just putting together songs for a mix just for the sake of displaying each song (which is fine but can be done on a single to single basis, or on his show or for people just getting into Trance). I just liked how he weaved those CDs together and they seemed to tell a story or have a message.

Deep trance, eh?

Haldolium - E.B.M.
H.U.V.A. Network - Overload (Putput Remix)
Eat Static - The Brain
Argonout - Your Body Is A Temple
Wizzy Noise - Time Line (Blue Planet Corporation Remix)
Harpoon - Digital Islands
Blue Planet Corporation - Genetic
Elysium - Celestial Sounds and neurotic Tribal Beats
Solar Fields - Infection 268



i would define deep...as having your brain massaged. the kind of track you can just feel the ecstacy from, but in a mellow way. music that washes over you in very soothing waves...

i dont really mean "hands in the air" type shit when the big massive chords come in, more like sunrise, deep bass, really delayed synths...

how else could one explain DEEP music...

Uh yeah...have u read any of his interviews? his journals on his site, some of his little notes on some of his CDs talking about his deep...passionate feeling for this music. Definitely he has a deepness about him, almost philosophic sometimes, but I kind of think he's lost some of that....but it would be cool for him to release another thing along the lines of Boundaries of Imagination or Universal Religion and not ASOT 2004 (and 2005) (good tunes, but the CDs just don't flow in my opinion).

1. Sarah McLachlan - Fallen (Gabriel & Dresden Anti-Gravity Remix)
2. Ferry Corsten - Dreamtime (Ferry Corsten VS. DJ Tiesto Remix)
3. Aalto - Rush (Super 8 vs. Orkidea Remix)
4. DJ Tiesto - Nyana
5. Holden & Thompson - Nothing (93 Returning Mix)
6. Mystery - Feel For You (Dave 202 & Phil Green Remix)
7. Lasgo - Cloud Surfers (P.S. - I don't give a shit if it's Lasgo, I like it.)
8. Factoria; Ocean Force - Conductivity
9. Above & Beyond - No One On Earth (Gabrial & Dresden Remix)
10. Sasha - Xpander (DUH)

Say what you will elitists, but these songs send me off into space everytime I hear them. Yes, Lasgo included.

If you are talking about Armin playing/making deep trance, well he doesn't play as much epic trance as he used to. Sure he still builds his sets up to more epic trance and tech-trance, but he has been playing more progressive, deeper trance for the past few years. Usually this is in the beginning of his sets. Sometimes he starts off banging, but from the vast majority of sets he has been playing, he does play some "deep" trance.

Originally posted by twisted no worries dude, dont fret it, i was pretty much kidding. i just dont see armin as a deep person at all. his music may be deep (thats another argument), but i dont see any deep qualities about him at all. if the man had any range of deep and inspiring thought, he wouldn't be where he is today.

I understand, just engaging in some nice debate thats all, no biggy. I just have seen him as deep, Tiesto is perhaps a little deeper in some aspects, but I see Armin as very intelligent and has a deep appreciation for the music. He has a devotion to it that is almost spiritual to me, like it's his life..it's his religion. I've heard him talk about these kinds of things in interviews and things he's written, and it just makes me think that he is.

number 8 on blank and jones in the mix volume 3 cd 1 is insane trance! that song, just makes me wonder how and why im still driving while listening to it in my car!
