I'm 25 years old (26 in July) and have been listening to Trance since 1995. I've liked dance music as a whole since 1992 though (yes yes, I was listening to Prodigy - Experience at the age of 10/11, rofl....I'll blame my sister for that!)

My love for Trance is stuck in the 1997-2002 era. More specifically the 98-99 era has to be my favourite.

Trance now is nowhere near as good as it used to be, and for me, doesn't feel as "real" as it used to, thanks to the digital productions people make rather than proper studio equipment. Tracks don't sound as raw anymore to me :-(

Favourite tracks of all time are either:-

Gouryella - Gouryella
Faithless - Why Go (Ferry Corsten Remix)
or
Liquid Child - Diving Faces

Favourite tracks in the last year or so:-

Cape Town - Metaphorique (Ferry Tayle's Neverending Story Mix)
or
Ahead - Back To Reality

I'm 23, started in 1995 with the release of Wipeout for the PSX (awesome soundtrack on every game in the series). I got into Sasha and Digweed soon after (Northern Exposure series, GU, Communicate, etc.), then found Warp Records (Aphex, Autechre, Boards of Canada). Late 90s trance/progressive and anything on Warp Records ftw.

Now I'm more into deep and tech house, thanks mainly to the amazing mixes in the DJ promotion forum.

Depends on what you're referring to as commercial.

Do you mean all commercial music period, or just the ones that feel like you're listening to a nursery rhyme, or even a christmas carol like jingle bells? Something you'd never waste your time hearing again.

17 now, started listening to psy trance in 04. Then I heard some Rank 1 and fell in love. I was stuck in 99-01 for a good year only listening to sets that came out then. Recently I'm still into trance but it just takes me a bit longer to find good tracks I like.

What remix of Liquid Child do you mean?

I quite like the Thumper! Remix as well as the Tom Wax & Jakarta Remix

I beg to differ.

Ah, I much prefer the mixes that were released across 98-99 personally mate
