Yeah I think stuff from the era of Matt Darey's Liberation. That song is popular, but recognizable. There hasn't been so much new uplifting stuff quite like that for awhile, not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

Just remember kids...everything is epic when you are on lots of drugs!

Chicane - Saltwater will take on all comers any day.
Also underrated is Free Radical - Surreal (see Magik 6 / PVD's EM closer dec 2000, i think)

This is sort of why I posted this. It seems like everyone has a diffrent opinion of epic Trance. I had a bit of an idead as I've been listing to trance for about 3 years and spinning it for the last one.

Whatever you think is probably good enough. Usually epic trance is the same thing as uplifting. My friends have a pretty good way of describing it: there is usually one 'nugget of goodness' that the whole song finally develops to near the end. Obviously this isn't a prefect definition, but hey Im lazy and thats all youll get from me. peace.

i think the title, "epic trance", speaks for itself. its a voyage brought to you, the listener, by the dj. it takes you through many different emotions, leaving you feeling high with the gorgeous stabbing brass synth arpeggios, or dark and moody, with the progressive tribal beats. its not just one genre of trance, but a mixture.

i agree that epic trance is kind of subjective, but of course it has to be melodic. actually, in contrast to what special k said, i think a lot of the stuff posted up here has been pretty similar.. gouryella, lustral, chicane. they could all be played in the same set. i mean its not like someone's going to suggest sparc by futureshock or something. very instrumental, theme-based.. the reason why i got into trance in the first place. not really pop-y, like you could make a case of another chicane choon, don't give up (w/ bryan adams) or fragma
so there are parameters, i do believe.

a parting question.. do yall think nalin & kane - open your eyes could be considered?
its classic for sure.. but not in the stereotypical trance fashion...
