Originally posted by Kraze Nah, not really, but a lot of people here seem to think that you have to be an absolute noob when you're listening to ASOT, it's almost as if it's a crime or something when you're enjoying ASOT. Do I listen to other EDM that isn't played in Armin's show? Of course, and yet I really enjoy listening to ASOT thursday evenings. I can't see why the two couldn't go together.

It's not that, just the tendency is that the majority of people tuning in have little to no clue of EDM history in general (and I don't mean 1999), nor are they interested in it. This is an excellent opportunity to prove me wrong though.

Well, I don't know much about the other ASOT fans, though a lot of the posters on the weekly ASOT thread in the tracklistings forum here seem to have quite some knowledge of Trance in general. Btw, here's another track I enjoyed in '94, almost forgot about it: Jam & Spoon - Find Me

I have to agree with sand leaper here, a large part of asot listeners I've come across think tiesto is a pioneer of dance music and armin van buuren invented the television.

I myself am a relative noob when it comes to the whole history of dance music but I must admit I have looked into the roots of the music and I respect those who contributed so much thru the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Back in 94 I was 9 and I bounced about to ruffneck records, dyewitness and lenny d. Proper hardcore, not like any of that shite you get nowadays.

From back in that time I'd also have to mention capricorn - 20 hz which has had a recent revival in my record collection.

Ok, the point of this thread, and many others that this happens to, was not to turn into a debate over ASOT.

I haven't that in a while... but it isn't trance is it? Which brings up a question, would these be trance only votes?

It's only up to 2001, as we've had TOTYs for 2002-2004 on TA already.

i like the idea, but i think it should be one per year, and not one per all the pre-ta years.
apart from that, id like to see it starting with older stuff, why limit to '94?

No real reason I chose '94, just to limit the number of years so whoever runs it doesn't have too much to take care of. It could be from earlier though if they were willing to do it.

Well I don't know much about trance tunes back from the early to mid nineties, but if I had to nominate a track from back then, I would have to pick Li Kwan-Point Zero. That tune was just years ahead of its time.
