Just a quick comment.

Tilt always seems to be mentioned when it comes to pre circa 2000, but I think Breeder had a major influence on what was the sound at the time as well.

As stupid as it might sound, they were one of the few producers who defied "underground". Hearing a track from them was like hearing what the entire scene was about at the time. They had that dark, raw thumping sound. Nothing ever sounded out of place in their productions (probably due to all the outboard equipment they used heavily).

Even though the "Breeder" guise died (not "guys", they're still alive) a long time ago you can still hear their influence on many artist today in tracks like Openclouds most popular productions "Life" which draws heavily from Breeders - Twilo Thunder.

Sigh, the tracks at that time were so honest. Moving on isn't bad, and their are some guys out there putting some great stuff out now. One can only reminist. The tracks from that time sounded so... "honest".

Check them out here:

Also highly recomended Sasha's GU:13, if you can afford it, and shame on you if you haven't heard... The ultimate bible for the peak of trance, and the undeniably best dj who was doing it at the time. Paul Oakenfolds 1999 World Tour EM's (all this is almost ten years ago, shit I'm getting old).

All their productions are top class.
And don't forget their excellent remixes such as Orbital - Nothing Left (Breeder remix), Planet Perfecto - Not Over Yet 99 (Breeder's It is Now remix)

It's called Tech Trance.

The Chain is one of the greatest Tech Trance tunes ever.

Dave Seaman also played quite a few incredible prog/tech trance tracks in the late 90s/early 2000s. Some tracks that come to mind from his mix cds:

Pindrop - Corporate Entertainment
Polaroid - So Damn Beautiful (Amethyst remix)
Brothers Love Dubs - 1-800-MING
Gloat - Skidaddle (easily in my top 5 favorite songs, thank god they released it!)
Adamski - One of the People (Force Mass Motion remix)
Elisium - Part One
Minimalistix - Struggle For Pleasure



EDIT:

Two others from Northern Exposure 2 that simply cannot go w/o mention:

Art of Silence - Teach Me (Mantra's Clean and Serene remix)
Light - Panfried

The rest of the world, including me, seems to prefer to call it progressive trance though

Sputnik (New York FM Mix) would be my favourite of theirs, haven't heard a poor Breeder track though.
