Dynamix II - Dreamscape (1993)
Appears on their album "Bass Planet". Through the first parts of the track you get maybe four or five seperate melodies including a neato deep bassline (of course), which creates a nice soundscape, but the best part is at the end/climax when they all come together to make this really excellent harmony. Too bad it only lasts seconds. Pretty little track, though I do prefer DII's less flighty Electro.

Bass 305 - Ocean Dance (1995)
Appears on their album "Departure". Again another flighty number written by an Electro producer. The harmony of the sax, the guitar, and the bass is parfect. Parfect! The chanting seems slightly out of place, but it's forgivable.

Bass Junkie - R-M-T-S (1999)
From the album "Bass Time Continuum". Alright time for a more straightforward track. Phil Klein blasts the sub bass and Electro beats behind his own scratches that he warps and tweaks to make them sound like they're eminating from Area 51 just after that ship crashlanded in that place, you know. Out of this world. Just like it should be.

Notsignal - Intromental (1994)
This is from one of the two 12" released by the collaboration of Anthony Rother and Morgan Geist on Heiko Laux's label, Kanzleramt. This wasn't quite what I expected from these two given the rest of their discography. The first minutes are an intense soundscape of ambient drums and strings and blah blah blah. But then the body of the track comes in and you realize that this is a really good Acid Trance track? These guys? Acid Trance? I guess so. It's good stuff though.





I feel dirty now.

Piece Process - Solar Myth (Markus Shulz Remix)
Discogs entry: http://www.discogs.com/release/266223
This track has always been unique for me because it sounds unpleasant. Its sort of harsh, and noisy at the same time, with synths that seem to be competing with one another rather than complementing each other. Yet its somehow compelling to me.

Invisible Inc - Stars
Discogs entry: http://www.discogs.com/release/256965
I remember for a while the only handle on this track was a short video clip featuring Sasha and Zabeila. You just got to hear 20 seconds or so of the intro, but it was just so smooth hinting of wonders yet to come.

The MFA - Motherload
Discogs entry: http://www.discogs.com/release/265365
Just love the rich deep bass. Really spare melody so the meat of the track is all about that bass. Can't help but be immersed everytime I hear this track

Coldplay - Speed of Sound (Steve Porter Mix)
Discogs entry: None
The perfect port from pop to trance. Trance doesn't have to stick to pop vocal and chorus conventions freeing the remixer to use them exactly as he sees fit.

Ronski Speed - I.C.
Discogs entry: http://www.discogs.com/release/431085
I'm a sucker for piano in a trance track. This track just uses a couple of notes, but it anchors the song while all the other synths weave themselves around those notes. Great mini build ups and releases keep the tension up throughout the entire track.

Lonestar - Uno Di Ci
Great tripped out e-friendly track

Ivan - Red Star (Pads mix) (2000) -
One of Oliver Liebs finest tunes. A deep driving tech trance history from his less known Ivan guise. A very very underrated tune. Totally love it.
sample


Human Blue - Memorexis (2002)
The Swedish genius Human Blue showed in 2002 that he is not only capable of doing great goatrance but also excellent progtrance. Very hypnotic.
sample


TBR - Trancewave (1999)
Released on Drizzy Limited, this is one of my favourite melodic trancers. It never got any airplay in the UK though. And it took me ages to find it on 12".
sample


Illuminatus - Hope (Oliver Lieb remix) (1994)
An often forgotten gem from Oliver Liebs glorious 1994-era when he just pumped out one beauty after another. This is in the same style as his remix of Mory Kante - Mogo Djolo. The melodic break in the end here is beyond this world. This is pure trance.
sample


Chi-A.D. - Biocandy (1999)
A heavy goatrance number from Chi-A.D. released on Blue Moon Productions UK. Sadly this never made it to any of his albums.
sample

i'd really add more, but I'm too lazy :]

håkan lidbo - capoiera (jeff bennett dub)
a nice chilled latinvibed techhouse cut

armand van helden - funk phenomena (edge factor dub)
schulz & mcspadden took armands big track and made it bigger, edge factor beefed it up (is that even possible) and added some nice 303:s

fatback boogaloo - wide open spaces (mothers pride mix)
this is mid90's uk epic house done from the qattara/skinnymalinky/steelfish camp. as to expect you get a lovely housey yet trancy cut with pianos well used

son kite - aiwana (dj nukem deep mix)
nukem strips down aiwana to the core and infuses his trademark darkish tribal vibe, sound horrible at normal speed tho, needs to be played atleast at +6

the shamen - ebeneezer goode (ritchie hawtin trance dub)
is it trancy as the title implyes?, well no. what's left of the original?, well some vocal samples. as to expect with richie y'got your acid, i think dinner is served

henrik b - inte bara b ep
a lovely 3track ep coming from henke with a good slab of that mid90's funkyhousevibe well infused into all of the tracks. nice titlenames also

everything but the girl - rollercoaster (king britt mix)
king britt delivers a nice broken remix of this reasonably unknown ebtg track. i think the original is from amplified hearts.

magnolia - it's all vain (meat katie vs. christian j dub)
a rather filthy breaks remix of this 2004 summertrack, i still wonder why m.o.s. didn't give it a vinyl release.

j axel - love letters (henrik b remix)
henrik b keeps it deep like the original but adds a slight uptempo feel, the vocals by jonathan axel & astrid suryanto is lovely.

They call it P2P.

I know how you feel. I only ever seem to be aware of the most obvious new stuff.
