Just because of all that s**t on music channels, I cannot see many trance videos anymore, not even on good old (now crappy) TMF, so please can anyone put a list of some 10-12 recent videos from trance artists?
I only saw Shivers by Armin van Buuren, but where are all the others?
There were plenty on tv until recent past!
Thanks! |

| Trance videos are awful, and why you'd want to see them is a mystery to me. |

Maybe they are, but thanks to them being aired on tv, I came across great music and artists otherwise I wouldn't have been able to know.
And why do you say they are awful? Some of them are awful, some other are great, just like with every genre of music. |

Not really. I've seen hundreds of trance videos, and not one of them has been any good. The reason being that trance is a genre of music that lives and breathes in clubs. It tends to be instrumental, tracks are mostly 7+ minutes long and it has a nature that distinctly doesn't lend itself to music TV. Trance in it's true form is about invoking deep thinking- a trance, mental stimulation. A video of flashy dancers and some DJ arseing around behind his Technics blows that out the window.
Trance is not made for 3 minute edits, and it's not made for music videos. A lot of genres of dance music can make some really great videos (The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin... there are plenty of EDM acts that know how to exploit the medium) but trance itself is one best kept off the TV. |

I could even say that I fully agree with what you say, that's true, but my question was not aimed in discovering good videos, I mean, visually attractive, I don't care about what you see in trance videos, I just wanted to get a short list of recent ones, because I feel I'm missing them because in recent times TV stations don't play them anymore, I was just wondering what I'm missing, that's all.

| I haven't seen it if one exists or not, but I think a perfect video for Rank One - Airwave, would be nothing but an endless series of clips showing the various ways to kill a guy. |

It exists. It's some random futuristic bull involving some chick and an airplane. |
