Just getting into Trance and have a lot of learning to do. I have many singles from different artists thanks to reading your guys' posts. Which of Tiesto's, ISOS albums or Magik, do you prefere.
Also besides the big names (Tiesto, Buuren, PvD, Sasha) who should I look at? thanks everybody, and shortly ill be able to engage in conversations,
Trance has seized another fan |

Its very diffcult task to pick between the two, both are masterpieces; equally good.:)
I dont think you need to look beyond Armin, Tijs, Sasha and Pvd as you mentioned. They are complete in itself for a trance listener. But still if you feel the need you may try these artists too:
Menno de Jong
Jonas Steur
Thomas Datt
Manual le Saux
Ronski Speed
Paul Moelands
Pedro del Mar
DJ Shah
Jose Amnesia
:crazy:
Artists you should avoid:
Gabriel & Dresden (live sets only, some individual production are ok)
Markus Schulz (all hype)
Ferry Cortsen (waste of time)
DJ Sammy (good marketing, bad music)
Carl Cox (waste of time) |

| Magik series if you want an energetic CD, ISOS for the days when you want to chill. |

This is the first time I have ever seen someone say that someone else should not branch out musically at all.
Wow.
:wtf:
As for my advice, listen to a bit of everything. I by no means am an expert on any genre as I spend my time meandering through it all. At first I was all trance, all supersawed out, all the time. Now I've gotten into mcprog trance, prog trance, tech trance, hard trance, psytrance, some hardstyle, house, prog house, deep house, downtempo, ambient, minimal, breaks, drum and bass, pretty much everything electronic. There IS a world out there beyond the top jocks. |

I fail to see how ISOS4 and ISOS5 are masterpieces.
I fail to see how one doesn't need too look beyond just 4 DJs.
And for that matter, why are you putting Sasha in the same basket with PVD, Armin and Tiesto? It's not like they produce/play same kind of music.
Oh, and I fail to see how Ferry is a waste of time.
Really great post. Someone should archive it. :rolleyes:

Totally.
I started with crap from VIVA and MTV, then I discovered trance and after roughly 2-3 years of trance I started exploring new genres (because I'm not delighted by today's trance) and now I have a bit of everything, such as techno, electro, downtempo, ambient, IDM, goa, psychedelic, breaks, progressive house, industrial, rhythmic noise, EBM and so on. :) Techno and progressive house are genres I enjoy the most lately. |

Before this gets into another Tiesto bashing or big DJ bashing session ill say that the ISOS sound i dont think tranlates to clubs that much. Its made for easy listening rather than boshing it out. Magik was more club based but the tunes that were in that style just arnt made anymore. It depends on mood to which one is better.
There are better compilations out there though. Maybe apart from Magik 6 & 7 that i think are truely great sets |

well imo if u wana learn about the sound of trance, get any sort of like dance department/partyservice sets from anytime between 1999-2002
i find the partyservice sets are teh win |

There you have a mixture of old and new, and every style from progressive trance to acid trance to goa trance to melodic with a bit of tech thrown in. |
