Try http://www.discogs.com/release/303472 (whole series not just first one)
Thats a pretty good trance compilation with some more poppy stuff too.

Oh yes and when you get bored of that check out Goa trance (tbh that compilation series was where i started... especially if you like the earlier ones like dream dance 1 and 2)

Generally compilations are a good way to start. Don't forget if they start becoming crap later (or earlier) on in the series... well just find another similar.

Labels on discogs can be good too.

Oh yes and don't forget to check out DJ mixes

This guys got a ton so it's good for checking out genres... tbh I didn't like his goa mix much though. As with anything... if you didn't like it then try the genre out again some time(could just be bad mix or songs)... and if you did like it then that's something new you like.

That's a great idea. Bypass all the good stuff and go straight to trash.

P.S. The notion that "house" is some sort of "advancement" upgrade exists solely in your own perception. I know quite a few people who started out with house before moving on to trance.

Let me guess, your next step of advancement is country!

Probably the original-poster's first mistake was asking this forum for "help"...

Of course, some of the comments here are gems; others are a steaming piles of bogus ego-strokers. Of course, others will have different opinions, so I won't name any names.

Squabbles that hijack threads are amazingly fun to watch though. The thread goes to boarderline anarchy while the newbie-guy runs for his life; never to be seen again in the thread... Quality in the making... kind-of like a Sit-Com for the psychologically disturbed (I need popcorn).
