I'm remembering right now another song I heard about 1997: It was FAITHLESS - INSOMNIA. Not trance at all, but is very close to it. I remember that I was asking to all people who have listened to it and nobody knew the genre of this song. 'Is like New Age', someone told me once . From 1997 to 2000 I experienced some kind of 'teenager crisis' and I changed almost everything from my music to Rock and Alternative. BUT, in 2000, I found DELERIUM - SILENCE (Tiësto Remix) and I became a TRANCEADDICT from there til now

By the way, thanks for all your thread comments, they help me to remember the holy moment I came into TRANCE

the first time that i heard a trance tune and it actually stuck in my mind and meant something to me was Silence (Tiesto ISOS Mix) and i heard it in hartford ct. alittle over three years ago (i think) at a club called System. blew me away. everytime i went there i was waiting for that song. ahhhhhhhh memories.....

Been a dance music fan since the 80s ... first trance album that I got to have was PAUL VAN DYK - X-MIX (THE MFS TRIP) from 1993 and its still one of my all-time favourites. The first trance track I've heard ? Thats the best trance track of all-time!!!!!! :::

I scoffed at electronic dance music until I got RealPlayer v3 (or was it 5?)and discovered one of the preset stations, www.thewomb.com They played all kinds of breaky-housey-swirly stuff, very late-90s-ish.

Then I found other stations, rave-something-or-other, pseudo.com, groovetech, there were a bunch of them and genres weren't such a big deal at the time, not to me anyway. You'd tune in and get Jeff Mills - The Bells or Jam & Spoon - Stella or Six Underground by the Sneaker Pimps depending who was spinning at the time. Around '99 there were a lot of things on the radio, the real radio, that sounded like Lost Witness - Happiness Happening. MP3.com was overflowing with melodic trance; PPK and Astral Projection were on there too! It was all in my face before I knew what it was, and certainly before it became what it is now.

My friend Marce getting the Paul Van Dyk CD "45 RPM" cuz he loved a track "For An Angel" he heard on MTV's AMP (awesome show but not around anymore I don't think...) in 1998-9... Then I remember going to Britain and listening to a radio show on KISS FM with Tall Paul and Seb Fontaine and they played Veracocha-Carte Blanche and I'm just like, OMG this is amazing! Then my friend let me hear Tranceport 1 and Oakenfold GU in NY, and it was all over

All My Mixes!

My first encounter with trance was back in 98-99 when trance was dominating charts. I was at my first party with Kimball Collins, Joshua Ryan, and Ryan Matthew(local Prog. trance dj). I didn't know anything at the time about the music, all I knew was that it was really angelic and pretty. It put a smile on my face and made me want to dance. I finally went up to one of the promoters and asked them what this was and they told me "this is prog. trance". About a month or so later Oakenfold's tranceport came out and I was hooked. That cd changed my whole perspective of electronic music. Still to this day trance is my favorite genre of electronic music. In my opinion, no other electronic music is as emotional as trance is.

When it was Energy108 they used to play some really good music ... with Chris Sheppard and others...... hehe and live from clubs at nights/evenings. Ever since it changed to Energy Radio in early '98, I never listened to that station again.

I donno if this counts, but I first really started getting into electronic dance music when I heard Real McCoy - Run Away on the radio. Later on I heard Alice DJ - Better Off Alone at a dance party I was at, and from there I was hooked.

The first true trance song that really captured me was Chicane - Saltwater, follwed by Gus Gus - Purple (Sasha vs. The Light Mix)

Vengaboys - Kiss (Airscape Remix)

My next door neighbor in my dorm introduced this to me and Trance back in '99.
