For a little bit of an intermediate between the cheesier commercial trance and the more polished, 'professional' trance, you could check out the Ministry of Sound mix albums.

the annual ministry of sound for usa is mixed by DJ Sammy he's very good

it's just a joke

Before going out and spending your money on a cd compilation that is just radio versions of good song, i would recommend downloading some tunes first. Trance is split up into several genres by its listeners, so ive made some categories as I classify stuff for you to see:


Cheese (Commercial)
Darude - Sandstorm (Many seem to love this at first)
ATB - 9PM (Till I Come)
Robin Fox - I See Stars
Angelmoon - Hes all I Want

Vocal Cheese (better music, cheesy vocals)
Kate Ryan - Desenchanteé
DT8 Featuring Roxane Wilde - Destination (Vocal Mix)
Kristine Blonde - Love Shy (Electrique Botique Remix)
Marc Et Claude - I Need Your Lovin (Original Mix)

Vocal Trance
Solar Stone Featuring Elizabeth Fields - Speak in Sympathy
Chakra - Doors
Chicane - Autumn Tactics (Thrillseekers Remix)
Mind One Featuring Rena - Star for Me (Vocal Mix)

Classics
Moogwai - Viola (Armin Van Buuren Remix)
DJ Tiesto - Sparkles
Lost Tribe - Gamemaster
Robert Miles - Children (Tilt's Courtyard Remix)

Uplifting (usually instrumental, builds up and plays strong synth melodies)
Threesome - Mohave
Mona Lisa Overdrive - Born to Synthasize (Neo and Farina Dub)
Agnelli and Nelson - El Niño (Matt Darey Remix)
System F - Solstice

theres also such splits (for me anyways) as hard trance, GOA/Psy Trance, and Progressive Trance. These categories arent like and official rule or anything and alot of songs could fit in multiple categories. If you have any questions, or want recommendations from a certain area as ive defined here, PM me..

(Sorry in advance to anyones tastes that this post may offend)

This is like the sweetest thread of the Day!!

Hey threadstarter - Iliketrance: Remember this are your first steps into Trance. I'll suggest make a copy(printscreen) of your post in this thread. Save it and someday you'll read it back and you'll have a great laugh!

Don't take this wrong! I rolled kinda the same way into Trance

Welcome to Trance

IF you want to buy what most of us(soz 4 the grouping if ur offended) like/listen to grab a CD from Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corsten or Paul van Dyk.

Titles coming to mind:-

PvD - Politics of Dancing
AvB - Transparence / In Motion


Otherwise I'd suggest buying a TranceNation MoS CD, or best of all download a few tracks on this site first and develop your taste.

I also recommend this cd,,, while you're at you should also get the Paul van Dyk- Global cd/dvd. Other than that,,, I recommend DJ Tiesto's- Magik 6 mix-cd. peace.

>(Sorry in advance to anyones tastes that this post may offend)

That is sad you had to post that but with a lot of assholes on these boards I can see what you mean. Anyways I downloaded Born to Synthesize from your list since it was the only one in that category I didn't have and wanted to say it is an incredible song. Thanks
