my friend showed me his new rave mission cd around 7 years ago.

I loved the style for about a year then phased out -- then i discovered trance a few years later and now i am right into it! nothing is better.

i was driving home with my friend and he was blasting trance control-atomic dance explosion. that was the first tune i ever heard. been hooked ever since.

I used to listen rave/hardcore, but in 1998 my taste
changed.

One of my first favorite trance tracks is For an angel.

And the first set I heard was PVD@Mayday2000.
That's when I became interested in live sets.



BTW, here is a new "smile":

Love the music, not the drugs, stay tuned in!
wanted tunes:
Paul Lancaster - Bad girl (Fretwell dub)
Scarcubem - Linien
Roger van Lunteren - Rainy autumn sunrise

...experienced the Sasha Magic...
Album of the moment: Aural imbalance - Different perspective

The first time I heard Underworld's "Born Slippy" I was hooked. The part where it breaks down gave me the chills... and I felt that I understood the music better. From there... it was hard, until the internet really started to grow. Now... most of us have music months before it's release...

TRY TO UNDERSTAND

I remember ages ago, it must have been 94' I heard some electronic music on the radio, radio one i think, late night stuff, i had no idea what it was, i'd never heard anything like it, all my questions about this musc went unaswered or lead to dead ends, and 95 passed by also with the occasional glimps of wonderful music on the radio which i always recorded 96 came and went similarly, but then 97 was the break, at a party i heard what i later found out to be born slippy, and curve - chinese burn, BT - Flaming June and many others i loved it, to me born slippy captured brilliantly the essence of something, the whole being of a night, the confusing blasting out of lyrics that seem to capture the moment and describe things so perfectly, i loved that tune. And Flaming June was just as great if not better, i can't describe what made me love that track so much, i just did, and still do. Ofcourse at the time I only knew that i loved what i was hearing, and that I didn't want it to stop but it did stop and i had no where to turn for more. It was only in 98 that i became truly aware of electronic music, in particular trance. Then as i bought and downloaded old trance i realised that a lot of these i'd heard ages ago. After Phat Planet and my purchase of leftfield i bought their old album, to find that 3 of the tracks i'd heard and loved years back. The same goes for my more recent infactuations with Orbital when buying their old stuff i'd heard so much of it.
1998 saw me truley entering trance with For an Angel, Binary Finary, the first vinyl i ever got.. and broke, BT - Godspeed, and more.
I remeber thumbing through Radio times looking for anything decribed as dance trance or mentioning DJ, and i recorded it all on tape. up till mid 2000 that was my level, loving the music. Then Pvd @ Mayday 2000 was the first live set i heard that wasn't on the radio and it was slightly different and i loved it even more. Since then my trance turned from love to true addiction, and now i'm saving my pennies to buy decks and mixer, and making a list of records from the 'Good ole days' that i have to get a hold of... it's at about 250 now... and i've been told that some of the stuff on there is quite rare, so i'm gonna end up shelling out a lot if i want them all...
Finally to bring my trancing days up to near enough present, i've become friends with my friends brother as a result of trance and discovered this site a short while ago, cause of a live set i downloaded in I-mesh, i saw www.tranceaddict.com in the about box and though, hey, this looks promising, and here i am rambling/remeniscing (what a difficult word!) endlessly about something you couldn't give a crap about. I'm too young to be nostalgic!

I've been into electronica for as long as I can remember. As for trance, Robert Miles - Children is what started it all for me. Damn him for this addiction .

For my part, somebody on IRC putted in the channel topic this message:

Fire up napster and get Paul Van Dyk - Live at Mayday 2000

I did not even know who was Pvd

now he

Paul van Dyk - For An Angel. Everything started after this track...

I used to love Halcyon & on & on, ever since I heard it in that horrible yet fun movie Hackers. I listened to it religiously but didn't think there was a whole genre.

Then my friend gave me his DJ Tiesto - Live at Energy 2000 mp3 and I was hooked... to this day it's still my favorite liveset.

man i used to listen to dance alot! so i was into it. thats how the whole dance scene change for me! i respect everything of it. thats how it all started for me.

hmm, it was a collective of radio, tv and net.
in australia, u dun really get alot of trance stuff played on the air, but then came 99.3 (which is dead now) and they played this particular song.. verracoche - carte blanche . i then started listening to that particular station more often and listen to cds like wildFM (hehe, i know)

then came alchemy, a music show which explored alot of music genres, but there was this particular clip from bexta, and her tune "non stop, lets rock" which made me want to listen to that type of stuff even more.

then i got my computer and the net (start of 99) and then started d;l the songs that i first heard... and it has continued ever since
