What led you to trance?

I grew up with a lot of electronic/new age music in the house. I was and still am a huge fan of Vangelis, for example. As I got older, college-aged you might say, techno/trance just seemed like the logical progression. While at college I became friends with a DJ who introduced me to the club scene in Atlanta, so it continued.
But I would say it began in childhood with new age.

How did it begin for you?

Playing video and computer games for many years led me to it. I became interested in the soundtracks and from there I wanted to find similar music, especially with the computer game "Unreal". I also was into some new age and grew up with a combination of Enya, Classic Rock and some Disco. My dad liked a lot of different music. I listened to net-radio in my early teens (around 13) and discovered trance, with music by PvD (For An Angel, Words, Forbidden Fruit) and BT (Flaming June, Remember, Embracing The Future). Actually a guy who was a producer/DJ gave me the recommendation of BT at a RecordTown store (now FYE) after I told him that really repeptitive techno music wasn't really what interested me. I told him I liked more melodic music.

I started of liking all the early/mid 90s Euro stuff like 2Unlimited, Snap and Sash. I moved on to liking big beat stuff like the Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy around 1995 or so, and slightly different stuff like Massive Attack. Then I heard some trance around 1998 and liked it for a good few years. I still do, but I haven't seen that much new stuff that is inspiring to me, so I now listen to a lot of Breaks/Prog Breaks.

Or anything, really

I'm a nerd, I like electronic beats, repetetive but progressive music.

All along I'd been looking for music like trance/house/prog/techno...just growing up in the states and going to a regular school, its not something that comes up so much.

Moby was the closest I got as a kid. Then my english friend was blasting some Ferry set in the car when I went to visit him. I was hooked since then. Still exploring and still finding exciting music to this day.

I spent a summer taking classes, and my roomate and I went to a record store. I bought the new Chili Peppers album, and he bought the Xpander EP. He was so excited about finally having it, that I thought I'd give it a listen. What an auralgasm.
