I really can't think of a really specific answer for this. That's not to say that I don't have visions of what the tune is conveying, but I've never really thought of some coherent story. All good trance is evocative to me - it's about me, my feeling - not somebody else's. This is probably exactly what I love about trance - it's absolutely open to interperetation. It's not about 'telling a story' which means it's not about getting on a microphone and whining about your relationship issues. It's all about pure feeling - I feel as though a main point of Trance is the dissolution of thought - all that remains is an amorphous interperetation, different from all people, yet alienating none with sticky concepts such as plotline.

Leave your story-telling to the folk-singers!

I just thought of another one:

Cygnus X "Superstring"

And you know what's funny about that song (IMO)? A superstring is a hypothetical particle consisting of a very short one-dimensional string existing in ten dimensions. It's the elementary particle in a theory of space-time. But the song sort of reminds me of the Canadian wilderness than something scientific like a particle.

i wish they would make more tunes like that.

Good choice, although I happen to think "Sunday Club - Etana's Flight" is even more journey-like.
