In terms of dance music it will have been No Limits by 2 Unlimited. I used to have it on a tape compilation and just play it over and over. But in terms of trance it was Zombie Nation.

Er... it is just anthemic trance with electro sounds. It was on all the big trance compilations, trance mixes and is generally accepted as part of the more mainstream trance movement around that time. If it isn't trance, then what the hell is it?
its called Kernkraft 400 and its BY zombie nation. Im also pretty sure its techno.

I know that- I have the single. Everyone knows what I mean when I say Zombie Nation, which is also easier to type. Anyway, I'm referring to the DJ Gius mix which is the most popular one and the one that saw all the radio and club play. The original mix is techno but largely forgotten now.

it's driven by a main lead and has a breakdown, true... this gave it enough resemblance to trance for MoS to whack it at the start of TN4 & subsequently push the sales up. but i still hesitate to call it trance, much in the same way as scooter's 'the logical song' (which i believe made it onto big trance compilations at the time also)
and both dave clarke & carl cox played it... hardly renowned trance djs

some of the stuff you guys listed isn't even trance, but whatever.
i'm pretty sure i heard some trance as early as 1992, but i really can't specify with high degree of certainty which track or when or where i heard it. it's probably The Age of Love - The Age of Love given that it seems like i've always known of it.
if i have to be specific about a time and track, then it probably would be the trance tracks on http://www.discogs.com/release/37058 in early 1995 and, to my great fortune, before Children hit the airwaves.
my favorite trance track is definitely Xangadix - Xangadix and i first heard this in the summer of 1995.

I don't think the Logical Song was on Cream and Euphoria compilations, or spun by the likes of Oakey.
