With strict genres being held, I don't know what would be the first actual trance I listed to. First EM I heard was Wendy Carlos, then Jean Michel Jarre. Do you count '80s New Wave and House? Later Amiga MOD/XM files before MP3 became popular, great experimental stuff, techno, trance, rave, hardcore. Of all things my YOUNGER brother was playing industrial music, Prodigy before it was a guy jumping around a room on a music video, etc. At some point in there I was introduced to Delerium, Robert Miles, Enigma, New Age stuff. Clubs and TV shows like Electric Circus showed more EDM though half the time you didn't know what was playing, just that you liked it. PVD, Oakenfold, Ferry, so on. mp3.com blew the lid off it before it imploded which was too bad with their silly Beam It crap (I didn't want to listen to mainstream, dammit!). I didn't own many EDM CDs until a few years ago as they just weren't around much, most were just a song or two spinning in clubs, not making full albums at the mall music store. '94 and '99 are probably my favorite trance years.

Since I love video game music, and was getting more and more into trance in 99, when Wipeout XL came out and I heard Sasha's XPANDER... I almost completly stopped listening to the rap & reggae I had loved for nearly 2 decades.

For sure, but Tranceport did it initially for me.

DJ Tiësto - Theme from Norefjell

Storm - Storm (Club Mix)

That was the first real trance tune that got me hooked, although way back in 1993 a song called 'Push The Feeling' by Nightcrawlers was released, which I liked (even though everyone I knew took the piss out of me for it ), so the hint of an addiction started as early as that.

They made a couple of 2003 remakes too if i'm not mistaken. All good stuff. They dont make it like they used to.
