I've recently decided to go through all my tracks and create best of spring/summer/fall/winter compilations beginning with summer of 1999. All my seasonal compilations were coming out fine with massive tracks finding spots in all the seasons; I had to make painful decisions concering which songs to include and which to exclude as there just isn't enough room to include more than 8-10 songs per CD.
Then I ran into summer and fall of 2002. I was struggling, struggling to find anything worth burning a CD for. Crap like DJ Dean - Play It Hard, Matt Darey feat. Marcella Woods - U Shine On, and DJ Sammy & Yanou - Heaven typified the garbage on my HDD for this period. After some painstaking work I was able to fill up this black whole in my collection (I was forced to borrow tunes that caught my attention later in 2003, but that were released in the 2nd half of 2002).
GOD, what an awful period for Trance, don't you agree?

I'm still working on Fall 2002, but Summer 2002 went like this:
Rapid Eye - Circa Forever (Rapid Eye Remix)
Project Medusa vs. Exor - Moonshine (Exor Mix Part II)
Plastic Boy - Silver Bath (Original Mix)
DJ Choci and The Geezer - It's Beyond Control (Hennes & Cold Remix)
Pulsedriver - I Dominate U (DJ Scott Project Remix)
Cosmic Gate - Fire Wire (DJ Scott Project Remix)
H2J - East & Central
Joker Jam - Innocence
Telepopmusik - Breathe
Some of these, like the last two, weren't officially released in summer of '02, however,that's when they caught my attention.
Some songs I will include in my Fall '02 Comp are:
Mirco De Govia - Things That Matter
Silvertear - So Deep
Driftwood - Freeloader
Insigma - Open Your Eyes
Gouryella - Ligaya
Ralphie B. - Massive

Come on, you can do better than that! Where's the Altitude - Altitude (SHOKK Remix) for a start?

Was a far better period than now IMO. Hemstock & Jennings - Crimson Soil for example, is a track I really liked.

Late 2003/Early 2004 for me was the worst period.
Super-saw trance from everybody.
In 2002 I was blown away - seemed not so much pure-trance, but certainly a lot of good stuff out there. The peak of Tiesto's career at least.
The only thing bad about this period of trance is having to read posts like this. Dude, we already know some people aren't happhy. But there's no need to keep creating threats about it.
