Which was the first trance track you have ever heard and when?

Here is my start:

Trance :
- Atlantic Ocean : Waterfall (in '93)

Hardtrance :
- Jones & Stephenson : The First Rebirth (in '94)

Goa :
- Doof : Double Dragons (in '96)

Peace!

Hey YEZy, good topic!!!

Question; WHAT IS TRANCE??? Is J M Jarre trance? If it is, and I think it would be called that if he made that music today (in the mid 70's it was called synth?), I think the first trance track I heard was Oxygene or Hypnosis. BUT, if you mean modern trance, it has to be Man whit no name - Teleport. Heard it on a rave in 93(?), and I just wanted to step up to the DJ and steal the record!

YEZy, hook me up on e-mail or ICQ, I think we have some retro music to descuss

i think my 1st trance song that I got hooked on trance was Xpander by sasha..a classic.

I don't know what my very first track was but the first track that really got me interested was 'Twist and Shout' by Quivver -classic progressive house/trance. I was in a club and the DJ played it and something clicked and I was turned!

I guess it was X-ite - Reserch (93)

HEY DUDES

THE FIRST TRANCE/DANCE TRACK THAT WAS ACTUALLY MADE IS
NEW ORDER - BLUE MONDAY
SO I GUESS THAT WILL BE MINE

THIS WILL TELL YOU HOW NEW I AM TO TRANCE, THE FIRST TRACK I HEARD WAS DJ JEAN - THE LAUNCH (STILL ONE OF MY FAVS). EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HOOKED!

It's very hard to answer this question because you can't say: hey, this was the moment when trance begun. The music gradually changed into trance...
you call Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth "hardtrance". I would rather call it hardcore or al least oldskool. And about Atlentic Ocean - Waterfall, I would call that song dance or club but not trance! It's true that dance/club music little by little changed into trance but back in 1993 trance didn't even excist! Oh and by the way that song is from '95...
So in my opinion it's not right to call these songs trance or hardtrance.
But to answer you're question it think my first trance song was Carlos - Silmarillia ('97 I think??) cause the producers of that song were Tijs Verwest & E.B. Goeijen (I read this in the forum about aliases), nowadays known as tiesto and rank 1 or the kamaya painters.

A tough question to answer indeed, simply because we don't know exactly what was considered real trance back then. Hmmm... but as for real trance, I guess the first song(s) I heard back in the day were either:

7 days and one week - BBE (94/95)

or

Night Train - 'unknown' (95)

I have the second song on some old mix tape I taped off of a college radio show. That was where I started my fine love and appreciation for rave and dance culture. Gotta support the underground right?

Children by Robert Miles was probably one of the first trance songs to be truly recognized by the general public. I think that's when the scene started to really accelerate. Well, that's what I think anyways. Comments?

What a horrible song, but I guess I owe it alot.

Hi everyone!

Thanks all replies, now here are my comments:

- Putervirus : I'm gonna send you a mail . By the way I don't think JMJ is trance. In my opinion his music is simply synthesizer music. But there were albums of him called Jarremix and Odyssey through O2 with some trance and house remixes by Resistance D., Takkyu Ishino and others.
- Jukx : In my opinion the Jones & Stephenson track was hardtrance. It has great hypnotic melody and heavy beat. Hardcore is much harder and has much less melodical parts. Oldskool may be right...
I'm not sure and I can't remember exactly but I think I have heard the Atlantic Ocean track before '95... It was played on MTV together with Magic Affair and Culture Beat clips and these groups were on the top in '93. This song also has great melodical parts like trance songs.
"in 1993 trance didn't even excist"... I'm not fluent English unfortunately. Does this mean there was no trance in '93? Because it's not true!
- Tripsy : The Night Train is performed by Kadoc.

Peace!
