Thanks, but I dont know, really. Ive never thought there was one, but that it was almost certainly more of a process, a genre that developed over several years. |
Agreed. There wasn't a point where someone said, "Ooh, look, I've created a new genre called Trance." It evolved, and ever so slowly turned into the Trance we know today.
Thus, you could say that the first musical pattern every played (intentional or not) was the first "Trance song." |

Nah, I was just nagging a bit.:D
And about the first trance song ever: I agree with tribu. It has evolved over the years. There was no first trance song. |

It does have a kick. There is a remix of the track called the ambient remix by The KLF, so I highly doubt they intended the Pure Trance mix to be ambient. |

| Wow. There is a KLF remix, but the 1988 pure trance original has no kick. I thought you had actually heard the track before. Heh. |

Yes I have, and it does have a kick. I have heard samples on websites selling the vinyl, and the full track several times through on the video. |

I disagree. People love saying stuff like you, but the truth is that in most EDM style it is possible define the first song. If we look at trance music at the begining, it is a mixture of the techno music samples with the speed of house music. So if you look back into the history it is easy to see that Age of love (or some ppl say: we came in peace) was the first song.
The same situation can be seen with house music : "it was an evolution, so no first house song", "you can't tell what was the first house song." This is false. Jamie Principle's song called On and on was the first one.
And so on with the other music styles. |

If you had to name ONE track only, it would have to be age of love - age of love from about 1990:
Many djs were playing very early forms of trance in the 80s, (even oakey), but there wasn't one definite thing in common among the 'trance' tracks they were playing significant enough to group them all together under one name.
I say Age of Love soley because it took all of these different elements that were kind of 'shadow' trance up until this stage and put them into one track. Sure, it lacked some of the trance trademarks, but it's the oldest thing we can call 'trance.' The other tracks were all hybrids of trance and whatever else at the time.
But there have been so many different subgenres of trance since age of love that it's wrong to even name one track. Sure, age of trance and those old tracks may have led up to tracks by a million different evolutions, but when looking at the spectrum, do you see many similarities besides maybe a 4/4 kick from Age of Love to Airwave? I think not :rolleyes:
The answer to that is the original, 'groundbreaker' songs along the way, like robert miles - children, cafe del mar, etc.
Interesting to see how things developed over the years. I do think it's neat that Age of Love's subgenre has changed from the RECENT trance tracks. People start to call it darker and progressive when at the beginning it was just Trance itself. Trance redefines even the tracks of its past, which I think is pretty cool. :) |

Bah! I'll just repeat what I said the last time this thread rolled around...
Its still New Order - Perfect Kiss 1985
5:42 the buildup starts. (right after the Swamp Thing stops... though some might mistaken it for croaking frogs )
5:58 you get the high synth build up (the hallmark of Age of Love)
6:12 you get the crest into the main melody
And I know i'm right! Cause The Age of Love comes AFTER the Perfect Kiss by definition... |

Guy: What's the first trance record?
Random idiot 1: Some disco record from the 70's!
Random idiot 2: No, an acid house record from the late 80's!
Random idiot 3: The first trance track was a mid 80's synthpop track of course!
Random idiot 4: Guns & Roses definitely made the first trance track. |
