| I'm doing a written piece on the history of trance and I was wondering what everyone thought were the really important and influential trance tracks in history. I don't necessarily mean the best / your favourite, I mean the tracks that influenced and changed the direction that trance went in. An obvious starting point could be what you consider to be the first trance record. I have my own ideas that I will post but thought I'd open it up to you first. Thanks in advance for the help. |

| An obvious one would be Rank 1 - Airwave, which championed the supersaw, hands in the air, unicorn pads. |

I was thinking that maybe even non-trance tracks like Felix - Don't You Want Me and probably about ten others around 1991-1993 had a lot of influence on trance of following years.
I don't see why Born Slippy had any influence at all. To me that was just one of a kind and a big hit.
To me it always has been mislabled and never should have been put on Trancemaster, but that's my personal opinion. To me it's not trance, but that's maybe also because it doesn't really fit in my own simple definition of trance "synthesizer music with a disco beat" that much. |

Ok, here is what I had on my list to start
Klaus Schulze - Timewind (1975), Trancefer (1981) - Often listed as the origin of trance and it is very trancey but is lacking in a beat.
The KLF - What Time Is Love (Pure Trance Original) - from 1989 and what I consider to be the first trance track in terms of dance. Also Kylie in a Trance also from 1989.
Age of Love - Age of Love - Obviously the 1991 Jam and Spoon Watch Out For The Stellar mix but also the 1990 original.
Atahualpa - Ultimo Imperio (1990) - Very trancey sounding techno.
Dance 2 Trance - We came in Peace (1991)
Zyon - No Fate (1991) - The start of a great run of trance on Eye Q.
Visions of Shiva - Perfect Day (1992) - PVD and Cosmic Baby
Humate - Love Stimulation (1993) - PVDs Love Club Mix still sounds great.
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (1993) - The Kid Paul original
Paragliders - Paraglide (1993) - Oliver Lieb at his best.
Hallucinogen - LSD (1994) - defined the Goa trance sound.
Anyone got anything to add to the early years? |
