01. C-Quence - Endorphine [Black Hole]
I can't say enough good things about this track. Since I first heard it on ASOT-190 I instantly fell in love. The break beat combined with the soothing trance melodies make this an unstoppable trance release. Definetly one of my favorite uplifting trance tracks this year.
02. Echano - Nothing To Live For (Gareth Emery Remix) [Motion Music]
I just recently discovered this track due to hearing it in a recent Christopher Lawrence set on the radio and was blown away with how amazing this track is. When the melodies enter the track ownz me in so many different ways. It's just another great melodic trance track. I'm surprised I didn't hear a lot of this track last year when it was released.
03. Inner Stories - Beyond [Black Hole]
This song affects me just like Jonas Steur - Castamara did when I first heard it. It's a laid back trance track with a stand out melody that just flows right through you. Leon Bolier is someone to watch out for if this release is any prediction for the future. Beautiful trance.
04. Mr. Sam - Lyteo (Rank 1 Remix) [Black Hole]
It's been a while since I have heard a Tech-Trance song that I really like and this one hit me just the right way. The rhythm, melody and cut up vocoded vocal sample just make this track something to be desired on the dancefloor. If you haven't heard it, you need to!
05. Coca & Villa - La Noche [T.U.S.O.M.]
This is yet another track which I am far behind on. Little did I know this amazing progressive trance track was released March of 2004. I only just heard about it once it was announced to be on Tiesto's In Search Of Sunrise 4: Latin America mix compilation. I quickly bought it at Beatport and have been addicted to it ever since. The atmosphere combined with the soft percussion and mind blowingly beautiful guitars make this an essential track in the history of electronica. Definetly one of my favorite progressive tracks ever.
06. Marcel Woods - Cherry Blossom [High Contrast]
This A-Side track is Marcel Woods newest upcoming release and it's a Tech-Trance monster! It's pretty repetitive but it does what it's supposed to do, which is tear up the dancefloor with energy. Not his best release but it's one of his really really good ones. Definetly one to pick up when it gets released in the upcoming months.
07. Marcel Woods - Advanced [High Contrast]
This is the B-Side to the upcoming Marcel Woods release and in my personal opinion, it's the better of the two. The energy, melody, and rhythm just make this one of the best Tech-Trance tracks I have heard this year. This is definetly one of Marcel Woods best released thus far. I really hope he just gets better and better because he is a great producer.
08. S & S - Sympolce [CD-R]
Shawn Mitiska & Santiago Nino, two of this years premiere producers, have combined forces to create a very kick ass agressive progressive trance track. With whiney melodies, reminsicent of Mark Otten, combined with uplifting pads and a dirty driving distorded guitar lead this track is going to rock 2005.
09. Jan Gustafsson - True Fiction [Galactive]
This song isn't exactly new but it's been playing constantly in my CD player for a while now. This is how I like my trance, just this way ... epic, uplifting and smooth. Jan Gustafsson is definetly someone to look out for in the trance world. His other song "Hallucination" is just as amazing. He is going to be a big name one day if he keeps this up. At least I hope so.
10. Marcel Woods - Beautiful Mind [High Contrast]
Last but definetly not least is an amazing vocal Tech-Trance track by Marcel Woods who makes his third appearance on my Top 10. The vocals in this are stellar and the synths layered over a thick roaring bassline just soar through the dancefloor and destroy everyone, at least that's what I would imagine. Marcel Woods is shaping up to be one of my top producers of 2005.
