Do you prefer enjoying the tracks as standalone or in a mix or session?

Sometimes I discover great tracks when listening sessions. So was when playing the great Scott Bond's Ahead, the last A&B 6/6/4 Essential, the Balances 00x and all of these I could be writing for very long.
But when getting the single songs alone, as a maxi, or in some MP3 release, for listening (for dj'ing this is not applicable), I note that I don't enjoy them as when hearing them in the session...
Someone feel it similar?
(And sorry for my english) |

i remember reading an interview w/ Armin and he said something like,
dance music is suppose to be listened to mixed... not single 1... pause single 2 pause... it is all suppose to flow together, that is what makes a good DJ. |

mixes are the way to go, one superb tune mixed into the next :o
on armins ASOT 2004 Cd 1 , Whirlpool - Under The Sun is mixed into Solid Globe - Sahara and its simply awesome, its all about the feeling |

You lose alot of energy and dissocaition when a track ends, when your hearing a set the effects of one song might linger longer if you can keep things going smoothly. If I was looking for a good time id say i hope its all mixed together.
But if I was in my car driving around with a cd in ... |

| Def mixed , standalone track just don't seem to have that energy in them as when they are mixed together with other tracks ;) |

| I prefer mixed cause the pitch is usually higher. |

mixed is best for me.
I'm listening to trance almos all day, so its more about the whole feeling of the set and the mixes rather than just the song itself.
But, we have to think that without the standalone tracks the sets would not be possible. So one complements the other.
I concider trance to be more like a clasical symphony, playing many different tracks one following the other to come up with one big musical piece: a set. Many sets have intros and outros so it sometimes (when stoned) i get the impression of a complete set being just one song!:rolleyes: |

| I often find good tracks in sets, but I listen to standalone mostly. Every set is made of standalone tracks, and it extreamly rare there are more than 50% of good tracks in a set. Usually one or two tracks. |

| I prefer listening to single songs compared to livesets. For one, I like hearing the whole song and not just the part that the DJ decided to mix in, and for two, the sound quality of livesets tends to be questionable. Of course, if it's a mix CD the second one doesn't apply, and I do enjoy mix CDs in addition to standalone tracks. |

| Livesets. The tracks have so much energy. For example Flight 643; alone, it's not too great. Mixed in at just the right moment, it's full of energy. |

| I certainly prefer livesets and mixes more than singles. I love how one song flows into the other and you can just listen to it for hours on end. :) |
