Okay, I also used to listen to Rave and some (Happy) Hardcore next to your examples.

By the way Tunnel Trance Force still exists, No 44 !!!, although I didn't listen recently.

Well said. I enjoyed reading your experience and it makes me reflect on my own. I was reminded of my first party. I actually can't remember the name anymore but it was sometime toward the end of '96. I had barely even heard a little mellow trance. A mixtape which started with Robert Miles - Children. I had no idea what the dj's were doing. I thought they would take a drum beat from one record and sample it then take a synth from another record and sample that and put them together lol! I had only been told they were 'mixing'. Anyway the venue I was at was an old place originally made for a boxing arena. So the dancefloor was basically down in the area where the boxing ring would be. I was sitting on a railing behind the crowd just watching people dance with my head in the path of a lazer getting totally lost in the whole spectacle of it all. I definitely wanted more but had no idea I would ever fall in love with the music, the dancing and the whole experience so much. I just love when a crowd stops being a crowd and a dj stops being a dj and everyone is just lost in the moment, on the same vibe, experiencing something beyond just partying. That's what it's all about to me.

I started my edm journey with a lot of scooter and tiesto. As ridiculous as Scooter is, I still love all of their insturmental tracks to this day, there are some really good ones. Other then that, they are the catchiest group ever hah.

With that said, I'm very glad I've come a long way since then.

I just realized something awesome about this. I was driving to work thinking about the good ol days of '96-'99 and how there was a style of trance that just doesn't seem to exist anymore and then realized that on Christopher Lawrence's Rise CD is one of the best tracks I can remember from that period. I even knew it was track 5 lol so I looked it up. Magic Alec: Resonance. This song has one of those buildups that not only gets you building up and up but it explodes into a nice frenzy of 303's and awesomeness that always made any crowd go insane. This was one of the tracks not on his Prophecy mixtape and the track is also on a Thomas Michael Tape: Supernova of which I've been trying to track down but to no avail.

Anyway i just wanted to comment on that. Definitely find Rise. It's a great disc. And I noticed that htfr and other record stores have resonance '96 presses so I might even have to pick it up.

Gosh, I remember those.
Time passes by like a highspeed train when you stay at the platform of a train station in a small village - "whooosh-ziuuu!"
