one more thing. I really like dumonde. I like the riffs and extorsions of it. That is my taste I think. Upbeat fast music that just gets people jumping. DuMonde. Is this classified hard trance?

Fire & Ice - Souvenir de Chine, awesome song

Yeah, Dumonde rocks!!!!
Dumonde - Never Look Back is one of my favourite tracks ever.

By the way, try Rank 1 - Airwave. I once made a list of the best tracks ever (by counting votes from a lot of people) and this one came out as number one. Second was Push - Universal Nation.

Yeah I used to not like vocals at all when i first started listening to trance but they grew on me.

If you like Dumonde try these remixes
Marc Aurel - Running (Dumonde Mix)
Barthezz - On the Move (Dumonde Mix)

For some other hardtrance listen to
DJ Kim - Get Ready To Explode (Alphazone Mix)
Alphazone - Stay
DJ Energy - Excelsis (SHOKK Mix)
SHOKK - Isn't It All A Little Strange (Krazy Nut Mix)
DJ Isaac - On The Edge

And one of my fav tracks of all time
Altitude - Altitude (SHOKK Mix)

here are a few others worth checking out:

Cyclone - Salobre (Nickelson)
Veracocha - Carte Blanche
William Orbit - Barber's Adagio for Strings
Gouryella - Tenshi, Walhalla, & Gouryella
Paul Van Dyk - For an Angel
Vengaboys - Kiss (Airscape)

And I know you expressed a preference for non-vocal tracks, but here are a couple of beautiful ones still worth checking out:

Billie Ray Martin - Honey (Chicane Club)
Delerium - Silence (Tiesto's in search of sunrise)
Drax & Scott Mac - Angel
Way Out West - Mindcircus (Dresden & Gabriel)



And for those instances when you have to ease your friends into it, try these:

Boca - Miami (South Beach)
Dark Suite - Dark Sweet Piano (Starchaser)
Bent - Always (Ashley Beedle's Mahavishnu vocal)
Vengaboys - Paradise (Andromeda Star)

Okay, welcome once again, and don't forget to share any good stuff you come across.

Cheers...

I'm hoping you have some kind of broadband connection to the internet first of all.

Get youself acquainted with alot of trance.
advise: download almost all the mp3s in the TA singles page.

next...I think you should get to know what sub-genres of trance u like....such as..
uplifting, hard trance, mellow trance, atmospheric trance, borderline-house trance.....etc...etc...blahblah.

yea....find a sub-genre and then tell us and we can suggest tons of music ....be sure of that.

hey everyone, thanks for all of your avdise!! I've been downloading like crazy and love your suggestions! to answer the genre questions, I am pretty sure I like hard trance the most, among others that I like as well.

OMG?!? Someone's new to trance and nobody's said this yet. Not that I am an expert, and not that I was into Trance at the time, but go back to the heyday of 98 and go BUY a copy of:

Paul Oakenfold - Tranceport


Arguibly the greatest Trance album of all time.

Also, if you're looking for one of the greatest tunes (also from an Oaky album which is pretty good) download:

ameoba assassin - Piledriver (Grayed Out Summer Mix)

One of the best, and I can easily say this song is what really sank the Trance teeth into me.
