If you're trying to introduce someone to "real" or "classic" trance through Tranceport then you're neglecting a majorly significant period in the history of the genre--a period which produced music that I feel was lightyears better than what was being created in the Tranceport era. You wouldn't try and teach someone US History by beginning at the Civil War, so why would you try and introduce someone to "classic" trance by starting with Tranceport?

I do understand what you mean, I have many Trance cd's starting around 1993. But on the other hand, showing someone a classic sportscar to me would be a 70's Porsche 911 and not a sportscar build in the 50's. That would be called a museum piece. Different views, all okay IMO. To me "Scooter - Cosmos" is a real classic. Old but still can be played nowadays without noticing it's age.

Was El-Ninio vocal-trance? Unless you are talking about that dodgy female latin voice screaming "majika"! lol.

Classic trance album. Has from trippy (Odyssey to Anyoona) to more cheesy vocal-trance (Right in the Night-with the classic quitar riff). I still listen to it from time to time. i don't know but every summer i get this nostalgia for a lot of EDM i used to listen as a teen in the 90s. Somehow i can't get this feeling anymore from the majority of modern EDM, except for the odd detroit techno, prog-house and/or epic-trance tune. But these are very rare these days (at least for me).

Right in the Night especially with the ultra-long guitar intro was great. I like to listen Jam&Spoon - Follow Me so now and then, one of my favorite tracks.

Yes, this feeling is hard to find these days. I'm lucky that I love tracks like Solarstone-4Ever, also with guitars and "vocals" by the way.

Classic trance for the win, great twisted, hypnotic music. I actually like everything, Harthouse, MFS and especially Eye-Q! Great music.



But i also like mid-to-end-90s more melodic/cheesy/epic trance, maybe because i used to be in my teenage years during that sound and i remember stuff like BBE- "Seven Days and One Week" and Robert Miles, "Children" on T.V. and stuff.

Umm... those are exactly the sort of tracks I was referring to (i.e. pre-Tranceport era BS--good call on Hale Bopp btw). So thanks for agreeing with me

Originally posted by PETRAN Yep, "whimsical talking about special atmosphere" is what i do now. I'm over the "nerdy analysis of music" thing, especially good-time club-music, since sophistication and fun contradict each other

It must suck to be you if you've never found something both sophisticated and fun. And just because you don't care about DJing doesn't make people who do nerdy. DJing is about recontextualisation of music and it's what makes dance music unique. Go listen to GU013 for a '99 era trance compilation with superb mixing and programming. It can be done and it sounds so much better than when the DJ just can't be bothered.
