Hello, new user here -

How would you classify these types of tracks in terms of musical style?

Adam White feat. Martin Grech - Ballerina (AvB - SoT 2005)
Orbit/Corsten - Adagio
Svenson - Inside Outside
Woody van Eyden - SI-N+R-JE (Original Funaki)
Tiesto - Athena

I'm trying to expand my collection but I'm a bit too old to go out clubbing to experience stuff first hand. I tried XM radio but the trance stations there played too many tracks that were a bit too mellow for me.

I guess I like the "harder edge" trance, with lots of production and lots of energy - and I love it when they mix in strings. I didn't care for Tiesto's Adagio, I still like Ferry Corsten's mix from years ago.

Whats the term most people use for tracks like these? Any recommendations?

Thanks for any insight!
