| I'd define an anthem as a tune that is a true epitome or representation of the genre that is played years after it's released. For example, Energy 52 - Cafe del Mar is more than likely an anthem. |

I define a trance anthem as a "Classic" like Robert Miles - Children or Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel.
It usually gets played for many years because of its huge popularity and the effect it has on the dance floor. |

Additionally, I'd often equate "anthem" with a bold, epic feel... like something that might accompany a dramatic action scene in a film if the music was not traditional orchestral.
Something that calls the listeners to attention and inspires, like a National Anthem -- it rouses up emotions, and often will contain multiple builds and climaxes. In other words, dynamic contrast. If you can march an army to it and give a grand speech whilst doing so, it just might be . . . an anthem ;)
Another common element of trance anthems are snare rolls... when you hear a snare drum or other sharp percussive instrument rise in volume on top of the mix, and go
CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH *CYMBAL BANG!!!*
i should add, wild snare rolls are often found mating with the infamous "climactic air swoooooooooooshhh" and the "domestic reversed cymbal". |

Oh Yeah!!!!! you just reminded me of another question I wanted to ask.
what is it with "cafe del mar" theres that track "Energy 52 - Cafe del Mar" but theres also those Cafe del Mar comps which have various artists. So.... whats the dealio? is there some sort of connection here? if not, then where did they both get the name "Cafe del Mar" from? |

Like Cheers, Cafe Del Mar is a place where everyone knows your name... or is supposed to... it's a physical location, a real cafe.
Short background:
http://www.ibiza-spotlight.com/night/cafe_del_mar_i.htm
Much music has been inspired by this place and the surroundings. |

Cue resident expert listening to Cafe del Mar at the moment.....
Cafe del Mar is a beachside cafe in San Antonio, Ibiza. A legendary place and the Energy 52 tune is just named after it.
Residents at the Cafe del Mar, Jose Padilla and Bruno Lepetre put together a number of compilations of chilled music based on what they had played at the Cafe over the past 20 or so years
I love Cafe del Mar and can't get enough of the CDs, now bought 22 of them :wtf: |

That list is a very bad joke. They say that it is trance anthems, yet they dont have songs like Airwave or Universal Nation but have The Boys of Summer and Heaven.. |

Since when did MTV know anything about trance that they could rank songs? I've never seen them play trance ONCE here in the States.... must be MTV Europe?
