Hello, a friend of mine recently let me borrow a CD of his, Tiesto - Just Be. He said to check it out, and that I'll probably like it. I liked it so much I ended up buying it. But anyways could someone suggest to me something similar to this album? I also bought Sasha - Involver, and liked that a lot also, but not as much as just be. Can you guys give me some suggestions to start off a nice collection of trance music to add to my library?
Thanks a lot. |
Wow! You liked Involver after hearing Just be (trance)??? It took me a long time to respect that style after just getting into trance. Way to go!
I started out with some awesome anthems by my fav trance artist Transa...try getting their album "Chronology"
Other classic trance albums are the old Gatecrasher CD's like Red, Wet, and Disco Tech
Armin Van Buuren's latest mix CD wasn't too bad...A State Of Trance it's called
I hear a lot of people praising Paul Van Dyk - The Politics of Dancing and recently listened to it and I will now purchase it sometime soon.
Im sure others will give you some awesome ideas too...but if you want some anthems, look at Transa...The gatecrasher CD's will link you to some other awesome artists, and for mixing go after Armin and PVD
Im sure people will mention Tiesto - Nyana as well, which is also nice |

Heyyy kingklubz, welcome to Tranceaddict -- a warm welcome to ye.
Hey, if you liked "Love Comes Around", you should know (if you don't already!) that the vocalist, BT, is a good friend of Tiesto and an accomplished producer. Thus, the logical conclusion is to check out his albums... one of them,
BT - ESCM
is cited as a landmark in all of trance and for good reason, the song "Flaming June" alone is a nice hybrid between catchy riffs and experimental sound design. Quite a treat. You'll love the melodies on it. BT is a friend of Sasha too, so there's even more connection. Hey, maybe you'll like Voyage of Ima, which is a mix Sasha did of BT's early mid-90 tracks from the IMA album. They also collab'ed on the track Ride which is a filthy electro-stomper, and further back, Heart of Imagination. Maria Nayler does the vocals on this, as well as several other popular trance songs. Here's a link:
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Maria+Nayler
And guess what? Sasha's an ally of James Holden. Holden is well-known for his singles like Horizons and A Break In The Clouds and the amazing compilation Balance 005, which is downright eclectic and a must-add to your collection if you liked Involver. Sasha and Holden worked together on "Boilerroom" on Sasha's album Airdrawndagger. Both Sasha and Holden like Petter as he is a common link on their mix compilations, so check out his tracks too, he's very precocious... and oh yeah, here's a very choice label:
http://www.bordercommunity.com
Got sound samples on there too, so you're ready to go.
Another link in the Sasha connection would be another James, James Zabiela, who is known for his cool hair but more importantly, his deckslinging skills and eclectic ability to scratch like an old-skool turntablist on digital CDJ decks. He has a new mix album out, aptly called Alive. Fitting that the last track on this album happens to be BT's Childhood Montage, which kinda brings us full circle! :)
And I'm going to have to recommend you check out compilations too -- something like a Ministry of Sound Annual, because they include the most popular tracks of the year with an assorted variety of artists and you can figure out what directions you'd like to travel from there. And yeah, all the great recommendations given to you here!
Cheers. :D |

Just Be isn't the best album of Tiësto until now, believe me :D But when you like that one i'll bet you'll dig these cd's also:
Nyana - Mixed by DJ Tiësto
In My Memory (DJ Tiësto's first artist album) is very good, most people think it's better than Just Be, i'm one of them :)
You should probably check out Magik Six: Live in Amsterdam - Mixed by Dj Tiesto, it's one of his best mix albums in my opinion.
And if u still don't have enough try to check out In Search of Sunrise (part 1 and 2, esspecially part 1), for some more mellow trance, mixed by Tiesto :)
And, uhm, aspergian, Love Comes AROUND? :P Don't know that one ;) |

Like what UAnt stated.. Internet Radio station. Great way to discover new music.
I'd also recommened ets-global.org torrent section, where you might wanna download weekly Armin Van Buuren's A state of trance and RobVox sets. Awesome .
Lastly... welcome! |
