I had decided to make a mix of this year's top tunes, so I ran a survey this past week to select the 15 tracks that'll go in the mix. Thread was originally named "Your 2003 Trance Top 6". So here I'm just posting the results of the survey. Points were given 10-6-4-3-2-1 pts and tracks mentioned in no particular order received 4 pts.

About 60 TA's submitted posts and a total of 179 tracks were mentioned. Thanks once again for the input.

First number is rank, second is points gathered:

01 125 Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes [AVB Universal Religion Remix / Sweeping Strings Remix]

Neat Idea, are you actually going to make a recorded mix available for download?

I won't comment on track order, mainly because I am not qualified and I haven't heard about 30% of the tracks yet .

eh well "recorded" is not the exact term.. i might play the tracks thru mixer just to see how they sound together, but first i don't have them all on vinyl and then i'm not good enough to do a decent live mix that those tracks deserve, so my plan is to mix them thru Acid 4.0. that's as close to decent i can get at this point of my DJ-career, haha

to answer your other question, yea i'll upload the rendered mix when it's done, just don't know where yet

But what?

Well, despite the huuge fall-winter backlash to the track, I think As The Rush Comes might have an unfailing grasp on Tune of the Year. I don't think it deserves it -- at least not first -- but that's how it's looking.

Yeah, so are a few other tracks on there. But we don't really have any definitive way of weeding them out. totev and I exchanged a couple posts about this in the voting thread.

yea it deserves to get in the mix but not at number one. well that's why i did the survey though... if i just mixed my own favs the mix wouldn't be representative
