Well it all started when I was 13 years old (1999) and I was a big listener to Rock, such as Van Halen & other classics. But it started to change when I heard a Dumonde song I accidentally downloaded which is 'Never look back' unfortunately it didn't bring me into trance.(I didn't know what Trance was then)
However thanks to me playing Homeworld and hearing Barber's Adagio for strings (Which I did not know the name then)
and soon after hearing the Remix when I went Bowling for a friends Birthday, Saw a video something with a Tree, sky is moving thats all I remember of the video clip & words in print saying 'Barber's Adagio for stings' with the music going and the rest I did not get to see in time.......
That same day I went on the Homeworld Forums and looked up the "Homeworld Theme" I found it and read the messages talking about some 'Techno remix' of Barber's Adagio for strings.
SO I looked up on the net for it, then tryed a program called
Limewire put down Barbers Adagio for strings techno remix, after a few days of downloading some classical versons, I finally found it which is Ferry Corsten Remix of Barber's.
I still love it today!
Thanks to that its got me here in 2003 listening to what I consider great, Trance!
And that is how I got interested.
What about you guys?

back in 2001 i was a metal head, so i hated pretty much everything electronic. anyway, we had laptops at our school and there was this guy that was a huge trance fan. so he played a few songs, i know they sounded good, but i didnt want to admit i liked it. anyway a couple of months down the track and after hearing a few more tracks, i saw an add on TV promoting the new Hard NRG cd (vol2, dont laugh plz lol). it sounded awesome to me. the next day i went out and bought it, i loved it so much. so yeah ive been addicted to trance since that day : )

i was certain that a similar thread was created in this forum a few weeks ago.. but i can't blardy find it. dang!!!
to answer the question.. first taste of trance was robert miles' children.. but i really got into it in oct 02 when I went to GK.melb and saw AVB and j00F... all over from there.
I was always into early dance music such as the Real Mcoy and other groups (I hate to admitt it, but yes I was). Slowly but surely my taste started to develop and began to get into alot of electronic music namely The Chemical Brothers. After that I began to listen to a couple of ministry of sound cds, including Trance nations 2 and 3 and clubbers guide to trance. Havn't looked back since, however starting to appreciate other forms and styles through the likes of Sasha and James Holden.

I was always in to Jazz when I was young.
Late at night on a local radio station RTR I found this wicked show called 'Black & Blue' which played all this wicked acid jazz & trip hop stuff, mainly stuff coming of Compost Records and the like. I really liked what I was hearing, so in an effort to get more of an idea I'd listen to Groove Train on Triple J and stuff.
This made me go all commercial, hearing cheezey housey songs and all. Then one night I heard Hybrid - Symphony on Groove Train. This is probably the most influential tune for me because of its strong classical influence. Because I was really digging the acid jazz electronic stuff, the idea of classically inspired electronica really appealed to me. From then on I became a huge Hybrid fiend.
The natural progression was finding other Hybrid tracks, which led me to your trance compilations that all had Finished Symphony on it. So that was when I entered the trance phaze. Which then led me to Bedrock - Heaven Scent.
(This is around year 11 by this stage). Dance Arena's had only just started popping up in Perth. So to find out more about Heaven Scent I went in there, and Dazz K told me to check out Digweed Hong Kong. From then on its been a match made in heaven
When did you become interested in Trance?
Well it all started when I was 13 years old (1999) and I was a big listener to Rock, such as Van Halen & other classics. But it started to change when I heard a Dumonde song I accidentally downloaded which is 'Never look back' unfortunately it didn't bring me into trance.(I didn't know what Trance was then)
