Nonsense, then trance just lived for two years, because it started to get popular in 1994, but I guess just within the scene. This was pre-internet time!
Real trance, which fits in your timeline:

Matttie is actually right.

Like Gouryella wasn't real trance, again IMO nonsence.
Wonder if any producer of that time would agree, also because there still was development in equipment.
A more valid point would be that you like trance of that time better.

It wasn't. It was closer to commercial euro-dance with cheesy "big room" leads of that time more than to anything else.
Granted Ferry's stuff wasn't bad, it just wasn't trance.

You can still find enough rants of Vath, Lieb and the likes about how trance was killed/became too commercial during that time. Actually the reason why most of trance artists left the scene in the first half of 00s.
There wasn't any real development in equipment either, vintage analogue synths will hold the top spot when it comes to the quality of electronic sound - VSTs just made music-making too accessible for the untalented masses.

There is no trance of that time or trance of this time. There are only shades of quality and the amount of commercialization.
Like Union Jack - Papillon. It's from 2009 and it's perfectly trance.

It wasn't.
I recall an interview with the trance duo Earthbound, who were big here in Sweden in the end of 90s. Their track One Nation Trance Nation did well here on the radios: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdDRPZVgxS0
In the interview they said "most of the stuff being made today, including our own tracks are not real trance, now we are gonna play a mix with real trance." Then they banged out a wicked set with Odysee of Noises - Firedance, Vernons Wonderland among others.

Earthbound did a one wicked track though.
Especially when TB303 bassline kicks in in the middle - ooooh.
A somewhat bitter irony is how on discogs it is classified as EuroHouse when it's more Trance than many things classified as Trance there.

Do you know if there is a download of that available anywhere? Firedance is just great, and so is Vernon's Wonderland. iTunes has put some Eye - Q online, and a few tracks of Vernon's, but still no Wonderland :(
One Nation Trance Nation reminds me of something on Tranceport.
And yeah, Gouryella wasn't real trance. I like it, but not real trance ;)

More like 90-96, imo. I like to think that trance started after the Berlin Wall came down.

Section X - Atlantis (Man With No Name Remix) :toocool:

It contains several really nice tracks. Especially on CD2 which have "real" trance versions of some of their most famous tracks. It also includes a really nice hidden track.

Video is named wrong, it's Transmanic not Transmaniac.
