Instead i think it would be healthy to you to add some diversity to your taste instead. There's so much more genres than the rotten state of todays stenched trance.
Sorry for all the s! ;)
I totally agree with you! It was fun seeing Armin last week in Chicago but he definitely played a lot of cheese. It was a 4 hour set and after the second hour, all the songs started to sound the same. Armada has been releasing a lot of crappy, cheesy vocal trance that I particular don't care for, it sounds very commercial and formulaic.

I agree 100%, the Oliver Prime remix is unreal :)

I'll spare you my story, but there were two milestones in my life:
- Loveparades in Berlin end of 90s (unbelieveable atmosphere!)
- the compilation "In Search of Sunrise 2" by Tiesto
What I really loved was the PLUR factor. On all those partys I've been at I actually never felt any aggression in the crowd, no brawls of any kind or similar.
The reason why I stopped listening to Trance is that roughly after 2004/5 producers stopped using psychedelic elements in their tracks. They shifted towards rock and they gave each single track too much structure. In the end the purpose (at least for me) to get into trance through dancing to Trance music got lost.
The result and consequence was obvious:
I switched to Goa/Psytrance... ;)

+1 loved what he did with the bassline and it was so uplifting; pretty good for being released in '05

Nice to see that some old skool guy still believe in Trance like me.

I was doing a five year stint in San Quintin for aggravated battery after some slut lesbian waitress refused to serve me in a bar, in Sacramento. Bitch in' had it coming when I put my cigarette out right below her eye, and I would have gotten away had her boyfriend not been some off-duty narc cop, sittin' at the end of the bar. Anyway, that's where I met Root, who was on the same bus as me when we hit San Quentin.
Root's real name is Plymouth Fedexter, and he was in for drug trafficking, after he got his ass busted with sixteen pounds of pot, five sheets of acid, and 1500 MDMA pills. Everyone called him root, though, after he fashioned a shank out of dandelion roots populating the prison yard. He actually wound up cutting the throat of some Mexican Mafia enforcer, or at least trying to, cause shanks made out of dandelion roots are sturdy but don't quite have the penetrating power one would expect.
Anyway, the guards weren't lookin' when root tried to get an administrative segregation by doin' that fool-hardy stunt on that enforcer and he got all green lit up by them beaners, who had him dead within a week's time. But not before he kep' goin' on and on about this trance he was in and how he was in some State of Trance and whatnot and pleadin' with ervry 'un to take that into account and sayin' the whole prison 'd be a diff'rent place if we'd all just chill out and try Ecstasy. He bled out on the shower floor when Pedro marched in and stomped 'is ass for bein' a stupid sack of that never did no one, no good, no how.
So two an a half years and I'm up for parole and I'm all real contritenous and all, making some fancy worded speech 'bout how I feels real bad for the victim and how I'd be sober as a judge, from now on. Course, no one knew I was in shear agony, havin' swallowed a toilet bowl full of reingurgitated prison hooch, we make out of ButterKrust White Bread, Sugar, and Cherry Kool-Aid. But I guess that hangover had a way of humblin' a man enough to look all innocent, cause the next thing I know, I'm on a bus back home with $90 dollars in my pocket.
Anyways, I been sittin' next to this moron who can't stop talkin' bout all the stuff he's goin' to do when he gets back home and how he's gonna get his life all zippered up and whatnot and love his wife 'n kids more and I'm lookin' out the window thinkin' bout that bitch who put me in this predicamate for not wantin' me to have another shot of bourbon with a PBR chaser and also thinkin' that I'd got no one to go home to and no life of my own to sort out and the bus passes by this place bein' put up in the daylight and they movin' a bunch of speakers 'n inside this huge circus tent out in the middle of all these tumbleweeds out past the first windfarm I done ever seen.
I thought 'bout punchin' that yappin goober right in the maw but Momma Nature thought better of it and instead, I done got up and started pesterin' the bus driver to let me off, 'bout a mile past that big circus tent. He obliged and I walked back to that tent, went right up to the foreman and asked if he needed any more hep. Sho' nuff, he put me right to work, settin' up lattice work for the tent and them big speakers and even runnin' rope and cables to hoist them big ass mother-******s up. They even fed my poor ass, just got out of prison with nothin' to ma name but the clothes I came in with and ninety dollars.
Anyway, not long after I showed up, the job was done an' everyone's real friendly and I even got a little extra scratch and told to stay a bit and see if I liked what I heard. Round night fall all this weired music just keeps goin' on and on, and I didn't think much of it, at first, until this guy who was about as thin and ******y as ol' Root walks up and hands me a couple of these little green pills with a little 'ol funny lookin' cat's face on 'em.
I'll put it to ya this way. I didn' think much of what I was hearin' before I took one of them green kitties. Well, I liked it as much as I like cats. All fake 'n and never really goin' nowhere but in' up . After that pill set in though, I started seein' the folly of my ways. I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted offa my shoulders and I could feel the music, once artificialicious and irritating become more a part of me like I'd never known any other part.
All tha suddun I begun to realize that we're all sufferin' fools in our lots of life. Rich or poor. Good lookin' or ugly, we all be sufferin' from some sort of pain and that poor waitress didn' no how, no way, really deserve what I had in store, that night. I had me what the prison Chaplin always be callin' an eppy fanny or some other such nonsense I'd not been able to make no sense of 'til that moment.
Then I swabbed my eyes, 'cause as fortune would have it, that waitress that done stuck me in prison had come full circle back into my life as though Momma Nature and her Momma's intuition had brought us to this momment and I was so filled with love and gratitude and remorse an' she saw me and she must have taken them little kitty green pills too cause she din't run.
I looked that poor girl right in the eye, where I done scarred her. If only I had some way to make amends and even things out. The only thing I could do was hug her and she even offered me a few sips offa her water and I'm smokin' me one of her own mentholated cigarettes and that's when I put that fancy peppermint cigarette out in her other eye.
in' lesbian slut bitch, that'll teach you to keep your mits offa my Rye and PBR chaser!

You are absolutely right! :) I feel fortunate to have experienced the entire evolution of trance music since the very beginning. I have to say that trance music is very different than it was in the early 90's but I love it as much now as I did back then.
I think it is very important for younger people to refer to the classics, so that you can better understand how the music has developed over time.
There are songs that I have listened to for over 15 years and they still give me goosebumps, I could name hundreds of amazing classics but there is one song in particular that blows my mind everytime:
LSG- Netherworld (Oliver Prime Remix)
LSG was a project by Oliver Lieb, a German DJ/producer, remixed by Oliver Prime, another DJ from Austria, please, if you don't know this song, listen to it and tell me what you think :)

it's easy for me to say yo this and that classic track is tight but to actually be old enough to see them released in their day and have them played live regularly is a fortunate thing.

Indeed nice story.
I'm 37 started listening trance in early 90's, influenced by Belgian Bonzai stuff too, came from House, sythesizer tracks, synth pop and euro dance.
I would say 1994 to me was the first year I got addicted to Trance and it hasn't stopped ever since.
Although I had listened to trance before e.g. KLF and some others I wasn't aware it was trance at that point.
Good example is this 1993 one I have on maxi cd:
