A friends brother had made a GOA tape for me way back around 1994. Found it interesting, soothing and really kickass to listen too.


Eventually lead to eurodance and lastly pure trance

heh, i remember when my mate told me 2 years ago that he listened to trance, i was like "trance? that's Sven Vath and Cosmic Baby, eh?" i didn't even know who Oakenfold was

For me Hardcore was what got me into Dance music.. kinda round 1991/92 time.

All you in the UK that know of Sterns nightclub on the south coast near worthing raise your hands and whistle possie!! WOOT! hehe

Ahem..... am I showing m age??? hehe

the first electronica song that i ever heard was "fatboy slim - going out of my head". i heard it once on the radio while taking the bus to school in 6th grade and i was like WOH. at the time i didnt know the name or who it was by or what type of music and it wasnt till like 6 mounths later that i even heard it again. but after hearing it the socond time it was almost always stuck in my head. and then fatboyslim came out with youve come along way baby, and i was hooked on techno but i didnt know of anything else so i only listened to fatboy slim for like 3 years. then A FRIEND introduced me to trance and ive been hooked ever since. befor i started listening to trance i had this weird impresion that you had be triping on acid to enjoy it, and that it was just a base kick. i was so wrong...

in my more youthful and vibrant days, I had a love for hip hop and rnb, however, I'd always taken an interest in electronica/dance music. At a club, I'd always prefered being in the techo room. though then it was purely due to the preference of a more up beat dance, even with commercialised techno tunes, i still listened and danced away with a passion. however, unfortunately for me, I never allowed this passion to grow. I still remember grabbing a truckload of mp3s from a friend, and bumping into such tracks as Robert Miles - "Children", "Fable" and "One & One" and Sash's Ecuador and thinking 'god.. what pure bliss'.

It's only been for the recent 7, 8 or 9 months in which I've indulged in this genre of trance, this art, and this religion to some. and it truly transcends you into another world.. However, it's not to say that I won't stop listening to the other likes of music. I still listen to rnb, hip hop, rock, and hell, even oldies. atm I'm also exploring the outskirts of proggy house and a lil jungle. =p

It's not to say one genre is better than the other. it is about personal taste, but a love for all is and will remain to be the true "musical experience".

I've always been interested in music. As a 4/5 year old I was obsessed with the Grease soundtrack. Since then I have progressed to pop like Tina Arena, and then stuff like Garbage, Silverchair and The Living End. I had pretty broad musical tastes, but i do remember liking Fatboy Slim and Sash. When I was around 12/13 I had problems sleeping at night, so I would listen to those commercial dance shows on the radio. It was mainly hi-nrg, hardhouse and eurodance kind of stuff, and for some weird reason it helped me sleep. Anyway, this became my favourite type of music, until I heard Children by Robert Miles. I was immediately blown away by it. I didn't search for any more trance until, maybe, 18 months ago. Since then I've become obsessed.

Now I'm addicted, much to the dismay of my family and some friends. One of my friends thought "trance" was some guy because I'm always talking about it... ah dear...

Well I've been listening to Trance for about nearly 3 years now. Before that I listened to just about everything else....pop, rock, mainstream stuff...and yes early 90s Eurodance as well lol...the first few tracks I heard which got me addicted to Trance was ATB's "9pm Till I come" and Robert Miles' "Children" and BT'S amazing "Flaming June" (IMO one of the best trance tracks produced..its an absolute classic ). The rest as they say was history...

I got interested in techno music after listening to the Mortal Kombat sound track lol. some of the songs on there were ambient or goa. i couldn't find other cds like it until i started to listening to trance, at least 8 years later. oh but i do remeber loving the song "take on me" since i was very young about 6 or 7? forgot the artist...

i've never been that obsessed with music until now. i used to listen to robert miles every now and often when i was 11-12. but what kinda started my "career" in trance was scooter's age of love and fire. after that i moved on to eurodance stuff like those cheesy Dreamdance compilations and only at the age of 16 i found out the meaning of REAL trance and in my search for more trance mp3s i found ta.com
