There wasn't really a "transition to trance" for me, as I always listened to all sorts of electronic music, simply adding to the pile as I discovered new things.

Seeing how excited and passionate I was about electronic music, I think my parents wanted to understand what this "electronic music" was that meant so much for "the kids nowadays". My parents have been devouring books and all other forms of printed media all their lives, so they actually made an effort to learn a little about it. My dad is German, so he naturally took an interest in the competition between Frankfurt and Berlin and how the status of "the capital of techno" gradually shifted from the latter to the former. There were also many occasions where my mom would pass by my room and actually stop to say that what I had playing sounded very nice.

Ha, my mother used to do that. When I was staying there last summer I was playing Solar Fields' last album and she asked me for a copy.

i was like 4 or so, and my brothers had that on TV, had a plastic guitar at the time and started imitating angus youngs duck walk around the room. funny because even though i was so young and it was long ago, it's one of my most vivid memories

My Mom's like that too - though my dad, on the other hand, calls any kind of electronic music "disco shit."

my dad calls it "boom boom"

I can't say what the first song I listened to that blew my mind. There were a lot, from Pink Floyd to Thrice's Vheissu. I do know the first Trance, or at least electronic, song that blew my mind however.



It's still one of my favorite (though Soundlift does a pretty good job at exceeding my expectations).

According to my mom, I loved Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time as a baby... first song I can recall that I liked, would be the Axel Foley theme from Beverly Hills Cop. An instrumental electronic song, interestingly enough...

this song deserves it's own thread, just because
i remember it from my childhood as well, amazing.

That should explain it.
