Drunk Whats my sign?

quote:
I'm sure every single newb that got into electronica liked cheese music...so what makes this newb any different...

Exactly my point...
I said cut me some slack...if it werent for the cheese in this genre I doubt you'd ever have ANY newbs.
I forced myself to listen to TIESTO and I have to say that it's an acquired taste.
What sub-genre would you say me (an most newbs) start with? Its usually more melodic and repetitions are generally shorter or progress faster. Is there a name for that specific genre?
Thanks for all the suggestions...
I'm in a city with no good record stores so I have to rely on mail order or WinMX.

P.S. whoever suggested PVD - Nothing But You was bang on!!! I meant to put that on my original list of favs!!!

Tiesto - Suburban Train - you listened to that? More uplifing and stuff... Traffic is probably a bit of a hard track to listen to for someone getting into trance, its more of a club track than a listening to at home track IMO

I'd say try some of Tiesto's Magik series. They're definitely different then his stuff like Traffic. Also, Paul Oakenfold - Tranceport seems to be a very popular cd for people coming in to trance (i still love it), and Sasha & Digweed - Northern Exposure series are popular ones too.

Smile sorta new

hey im new to these boards and have been into edm for about 2yrs now and the cds and tracks that got me into i the music when i look back are embarrasing but when someone mentions ppk-ressurection THAT had to be the one that crossed over...My first intro was cheese trance and the webster hall rmxs (which aint too bad) but then i graduated to euro stuff after a trip to euro...gigi d'agostinos un giorno credi, mario piu- love game and all of picotto...I went from webster hall to paul oakenfold (which was just a phase) to picotto(techno) and now to pvd. One thing i could not really get into was house. I only liked tenaglias tribal stuff (granted i only heard 20 min of him)
So to the newbie--enjoy your voyage thru the genres :-)

Will someone please suggest where I should begin...I find that half the stuff I download is progressive or hardtrance...(no offence but, blech! Im not there yet!)
Based on my favourites below, what would you say is NOT TO BE MISSED!!

Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky
Final Fantasy (?? not sure if this artist) - I Close My Eyes
Atomizer - Hooked On Radiation
Robert Miles - Fable & Children
DJ Sammy ( I know..I know, sorry) - Sunlight
Shakedown - At Night (Original Mix)
The Cynic Project - Matrix II
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel

I absolutely can't stand Tiesto - Traffic for some reason. Does this give enough information about what genre I like? Please be objective but not overly cruel

Thanks a million...
- Digital Aura


Welcome to TA!! First off, have a good time on the boards. As for that list of yours, erm... oh dear. Haha, jk! Everyone likes what they like. If I were you, i'd listen to more of what other people have suggested, like Andain, Armin Van Buuren, some Tiesto stuff (yeah I think Traffic sucks donkey's as well), and Motorcycle amongst others. That way you can broaden your horizons and get a feel for other types of trance, rather than the (cheesy) stuff you're into at the moment. If you decide you still like DJ Sammy after listening to all the recommends in this thread, fair enough!

Unhappy ...my conundrum

Psygnosis...my problem is that Gnutella and kazaa (and all the p2p shareware that uses these networks) isn't a great source for these underground works. The problem with this genre is that it ISNT WELL KNOWN (not Mainstream) and those members that have the songs offered online are sooooo much in demand that its next to impossible to queue a download from them.
I'll keep lookin'!
