To me these are what defined trance for me. I have heard the older stuff prior to this and like it as well, but I guess they weren't what got me personally into the sound. No matter how many times I hear psy music, I just can't get into it. The prog psy stuff is nice but it's still the uplifting, melodic trance that brings back the memories and that I can count on as being listenable and not just for dancing in a club or some large event. I wasn't old enough back in the day to be traveling around to big trance events or enter clubs to really experience the sound as it was meant. |
I love all of the tracks that you listed here. The track that really blew me away was G&M Project - Sunday Afternoon (Nu NRG remix). Wow what an exciting trance track. There's nothing wrong with falling into a trance with them either. However, as I grew up a little bit and explored different DJs and genres, I've found that there's a lot of 'trance' in other types of EDM as well.
Have you ever seen a Psy DJ like Wizzy Noize or Wrecked Machines? They can blow you away. I've learned that 'trance' can be mean a whole lot more when you hear it in a club or outdoors with huge speakers and a nice atmosphere. The best part about 'trance' is that you haven't even heard the best tracks yet. Sure, there are the memories, but producers and DJs are really bringing some fresh, intelligent music out there.
