Imo If your going to do a classics mix, go for the tracks you like personally or one which you think deserve to be classics. Be a bit different and give a different angle on it.
If you produce a CD full of the obvious classics, it will bore most people who are into trance to tears.
But if you really wanna....
Delerium - Silence (tiesto mix)
Tiesto - Suburban Train
Blank and Jones - Cream
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar
Art of Trance - Madagascar

I heard that the tapes were cut into hundreds of little pieces so that you had to reassemble them manually. Only the bold and tireless can survive in the UNDERGROUND!

well theres a lot of commercial compilations done with just that in mind.. so ur definetly not the first one to try and bunch up big trance hits/classics
but all u gotta do is search for 'trance classics'
then theres a TA authored classics thread here ... so you can go through those and see which float ur boat
lastly if you wanna be real cool you can go through all the trancemaster releases (especially older ones) and pick what sounds good to you
of course all that would take u about a month, but at least youd have a proper trance classic mix (and a big 1) by the end of it

Damn! Even Boards Of Canada wouldn't be that malicious.

If it's big enough then you shouldn't forget it in the first place.

this cd is solely for my own enjoyment. I don't listen to trance as often these days as i've moved more into house music. But i still enjoy the 30-40 trance compilations i've made through the years. Since theres a lot of stuff on those cds that doesn't excite me as much anymore, i'm trying to condense the oldies into 5 cds of the very best. Obviously i know of most of the trance hits since i've been in the scene for years, but theres always that odd track that i may of missed at the time that i don't want to kick myself later for forgetting about it.
