| Regardless of what anyone says, there should be only one track name taking the top spot. Cafe Del Mar - 3 in 1 mix. Yes, it is old, and yes, it is diverse in prodcution style. But it is without doubt one of the most recognised tracks of our time. Most of us have witnessed the crowd reaction. |

I would argue that is most known amongst people that know trance... for your run of the mill person who knows nothing about trance I don't think that is the most identifiable song... some crap like Heaven or Kernkraft 400 would be more identifiable I feel.

Which makes sense, because we are talking about the top 100 trance tunes. :) |

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". |
All jokes aside that is the best description I have ever read in words of the ups and downs of trance(climax), i can feel it by just reading it |

Dj Sammy - Heaven only on place 95 i'm dissappointed...:haha: That list actually seems quite good for being something MTV has put together... |
Ditto - I was expecting a lot more but they have some legitimate classics on that list. |

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? |
I believe Cafe del Mar (the compilations) is a chillout series. |

I concur. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?:rolleyes:
This is unforgiveable!!!
About the "ANTHEM" thing.... see, I thought it was a "type" of trance...
Like Epic trance as opposed to say, Hard Trance or Dream Trance as ISHKUR would say.
dunno.:happy2: |
