01. Jondi & Spesh - Impenetrable Sayonara
Didn't really expect anyone to get this one, it's not really known for anything. Pretty good progtrance from back in the day though.
02. Salt Tank - Badlands
Salt Tank, as always brilliant. Nobody fully ID'ed this iirc, only Cobalt got a partial.
03. Christian West - Eterna (Main Mix)
Played by the likes of Oakey, Sasha & Digweed back in '99-ish. This is fucking proper progressive trance.
04. Silicon Soul - Who Needs Sleep Tonight (Abe Duque Remix)
I figured this would get a few more ID's, but only Mr.Mystery got it right. Strange.
05. Hybrid - Gravastar
Hybrid when they're not doing breaks. They pull it off quite well I'd say. Nicely spacey progressive house, pretty unique.
06. Danny Tenaglia - Turn Me On (Bedrock Remix)
Nobody got this until I gave hints. It's Bedrock, people! 
07. Matthew Dekay - Beautiful Monday
Lovely laid-back progressive house from a few years ago.
08. Esser'Ay - Forces (Carl Craig's Mix)
This is pretty recognizable, if you've heard it at all that is. Quite a classic within techno, otherwise not so much.
09. N-Joi - Anthem
Pretty damn classic track right here. I think 3 or so people ID'ed this, which is not enough. 
10. Spicelab - We Got Spice (Humate Remix)
Every contest must include Oliver Lieb. That's just the way it is. I guess it doesn't have a very recognizable melody, but a couple of contestants managed to find it.
11. Nebula II - Mortal Axis
Nobody got this until I gave hints, as expected, since they're known for hardcore breakbeat and acid rather than this trance piece. This only appeared on a compilation, but I thought the older trance fans might like it so I put it in the contest.
12. The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds
I can't think of many other downtempo/ambient classics. I can't believe the low number of ID's on this one. 
13. 326 - Falling (Armando's House Mix)
A forgotten classic, I'd say. Pretty damn recognizable though, and people familiar with the genre could probably figure out that Armando was involved.
14. Isolee - Tout Se Complique
A random one I threw in there for the minimal crew. I like the vocal bits in this one.
15. Virtual Symmetry - The V.S.
Really recognizable trance tune from the early 90's, what with the piano and all. The fact that it was in the Goa Mix makes it even easier.
16. Fluke - Bullet (Empirion Mix)
Mart wanted Fluke, so I gave him Fluke.
17. Mario Piu & Mauro Picotto - Spectra (Action Mix)
Played by PvD in 2000-ish. Figured there were some Picotto fans around, but alas it only got 1 or 2 ID's.
18. DJ Edge - Compnded
Huge rave classic. J00F remixed this iirc, but this is the original. Ian got it immediately. 
19. Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
Only 2 people DIDN'T get this one. What can I say? A chart topper back in 1996, and a brilliant pop-funk tune nonetheless.
20. Disco Evangelists - De Niro (The Journey)
Known for its huge break which you can hear in the end of the sample. Progressive house classic. I required (The Journey) to get 3 points on this one, since there is no "original mix" that I know of.
21. Jori Hulkkonen - Whispers
Jori is just great. This track has a beautiful melody so I wanted to give it some exposure. It went ID-less though.
22. Venetian Snares - Hajnal
Anyone who's heard the album this is on (Rossz Csillag Alatt Született) will know it instantly. There's just no other piece of music like it. Comes close to being my favorite album of all time.
23. Sourmash - Atlantic Shores
Not a known trance tune, but trance nonetheless. Didn't get any ID's though.
24. Lustral - Everytime (Yunus Remix)
Yunus, one of my favorite progressive house artists from when I used to listen to the genre, serves up a dark remix of the otherwise cheery classic "Everytime".
25. Genecom - Sunchase
Adam Beyer and some other dude are behind this number from the 90's. Much better than the Swedish techno these days. 
26. Mental Cube - Q
One of my favorites from FSOL, surprised so few knew it. This is aimed at the dancefloor unlike a lot of their other stuff.
27. Quench - Hope (Carl Cox Remix)
Quench is known for "Dreams" of course, but he also managed to throw together an album back in 1994, and a bunch of remixes were also issued.
28. S.O.L. - Quantensprung
Oliver Lieb again. This appeared on the Yoshiesque compilation which may've gained it some more exposure.
29. Liaisons Dangereuses - Peut Etre... Pas
Random 80's. Didn't expect anyone to get it, but Cobalt apparently knew it. 
30. Graffik - A Lesser Man? (Satoshi Tomiie Remix)
Prog house tune from 2002 with a pretty distinct melody. I like it, but that's partially the nostalgia speaking. 
31. The Blackmaster - Solid Tube
Whaaat? No IDs? It's M.I.K.E.! And it appeared in Oakey's 1999 EMs!
32. Metal Masters - Spectrum
Harthouse classic, nothing more to it. Really old school trance fans will pick up on this instantly.
33. Green Velvet - The Stalker (Laidback Luke Remix)
Random tech-house. Amusing vocals and a nice groove though.
34. Apollo 440 - Stop The Rock (Gigolo Remix)
This got quite a few IDs, one of the semi-obvious trance tracks I decided to throw in.
35. 69 - Microlovr
Carl Craig. Anyone familiar with his older works should at least recognize this.
36. DJ Sakin & Friends - Protect Your Mind (Van Bellen Remix)
From one of Sasha's old mix CDs. Everyone should've heard this at some point, but only a few got it.
37. Kraftwerk - Numbers
It's German, it's electro, and it's about numbers. What else? 
38. Ed Rush, Optical & Fierce - Alien Girl
Tech-step classic. If you're into d'n'b you're bound to know this.
39. Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Red Jerry Prolekult Remix)
Most partially IDed track ever. Not surprising, as the track has a huge amount of remixes. I prefer this one though due to the psyched-out vocal sample.
40. Paris & Healey - Blue
My favorite progressive house track of all time. Sadly it didn't get all that much publicity back in 2004, so here's me giving it a slight boost.
41. Slacker - Your Face (Schizoid)
Nobody got Slacker? Come on! One of my favorite artists ever, sadly the act hasn't been as good since they split up.
42. Aphex Twin - Isopropophlex
From his first Analogue Bubblebath. As AFX is pretty fucking whored out on just about every EDM forum on the internet, I really expected some more people to ID his first ever release. 
43. Lincoln - Funky Odd Box
Random house track that Zabiela played. I like it quite a bit.
44. Swayzak ft. Kirsty Hawkshaw - State Of Grace (Silicon Scally Rework)
Nicely melancholic, I love her voice on this one. The beats are just minimal enough too.
45. Mathew Jonson - Ultraviolet Dream
Mr. Jonson has been whored from all ends in the last few years, so I expected some of you to be familiar with his works.
46. Wookie - Battle
Big UK Garage tune. The hint should've tipped just about everyone off. 
47. 16B - Water Ride
Smooth house tune, got a number of remixes back in the day.
48. Dirty Gringos - Cowbell (Ebon Remix)
This was quite talked about back in 2004, surprised that not many remember it. This remix was the most popular one, but never got a full release afaik. Samples Christopher Walken yada yada...
49. Model 500 - Time Space Transmat
Huge electro classic, maybe not as big as "Clear" but still. The vocal gives the track title away, and I think it's pretty obvious that it's Juan Atkins.
50. Speedy J - Pepper
Random pick. Quite a nice trancer from Speedy J.
51. The Martian - Stardancer
Huge techno classic. I later realised I should've sampled it after the breakdown... that's where the madness really takes off. 
52. Bart van Wissen - One Reason
Random prog house. Played in a great set, more specifically Sasha & Digweed @ Renaissance 2004.
53. Angelmoon - He's All I Want (Cappery Mix)
Played by Oakey in 1999, and has appeared on a number of compilations. I didn't sample the vocals because it would've made it too easy.
54. John Tejada & Arian Leviste - From Empty Words
Bit of a random pick. One bad thing about albums is that most of the tracks on them never get much play live. This is a pretty sweet tune, thought people should know about it.
55. Terry Lynn - Kingstonlogic (Shining Star Mix)
Lyrics performed in the style of Technologic. This one, however, is about crime in Jamaica's capital city. Quite a nifty idea I thought.
56. Deep Dish - Stay Gold
Deep Dish's best work. End of.
57. Union Jack - Lollipop Man
Excellent old school trance from Simon Berry. Fans should recognize it.
58. Cybordelics - Alice In Wonderland
Somewhat classic track, I'd say. Released on Harthouse.
59. Jamie Lidell - When I Come Back Around
Oh, how I wish I had the voice of Jamie. Not only that, but he produces his own stuff too. Doesn't get much funkier.
60. Leftfield - Space Shanty
Eeeh... I feel that not enough people got this. The album is classic by now, anyone who's into house should've heard it.
61. Orbital - Omen
Random Orbital. This was their second release apparently.
62. Pob ft. X-Avia - The Awakening (Seismix)
Lovely trance on Platipus. This label can't get enough praise.
63. Loleatta Holloway - Love Sensation
Big and gay disco classic.
64. Way Out West - Apollo
My favorite track by WoW.
65. Underworld - Cups (Salt City Orchestra Mix)
I'm not much of an Underworld fan, but damn this is groovy. Excellent job on the remix.
66. Viridian - Sunhump
Only 1 person got this. Considering it's such a classic and it recently got a crap remake by Richard Durrrrrand, I'd say that's pretty 
67. Humate - Curious
Lovely alternative to "Love Stimulation". I don't like piano in trance much, but this works well.
68. Public Energy - Three-O-Three
Speedy J again. Huge acid classic, even bigger than Edge Of Motion - Set Up 707 which nobody but Psy-T got in my last contest. 
69. Resistance D - Human (Laurent Garnier Remix)
Now this is just classic. Mr. Garnier makes it more detroity in a sense.
70. Delerium - Euphoria (Firefly) (Rabbit In The Moon's Divine Gothic Disco Mix)
Pretty groovy house track, got a couple of IDs.
71. Paul van Dyk - Pikes
Not so well known tune by Paul, but I like it a lot more than most of the other weak junk he puts out.
72. Timo Maas - Feedback Welcome ALSO ACCEPTED Timo Maas - High Drama
The former is the instrumental, the latter is the vocal album version. This was actually around back in 2003, but got released years later.
73. Phuture - Slam
I don't know, I thought it had a pretty solid old school acid house feel. Only Psy-T got it though. 
74. PJ Davy - Call It What You Want
Random prog house tune. I like the melancholic melody in it.
75. Spooky - Relief
You mean to say that you didn't recognize that voice? He uses it in just about every track. Anyway, this is one of his earlier releases.
