for me its probably push - universal nation

especially when you hear it played live on the paul oakenfold live @ cream (cd2) and the crowd goes mental

use to be trance crazy but have since moved on. another, at the time i was mad into was hennes and cold - the second trip. terrible, terrible tune looking back on it now but it use to raise the steeple off the temple back in the day

heeeellllllllllllssssss yeah!!!

i rememebr the first time i heard it in the temple,think it was mauro picotto who played it.i had just bought it that week.

not sure i agree that its terribble now but perhaps wouldnt appeal to too many people now.

that being said ill avoid all the obvious ones(madagascar,gamesmaster,cafe del mar etc) and say that plastc boy twixt was always a firm favourite of mine or the jam x and de leon remix of greencourts follow me.

aw im getting all nostalgic now ha ha

kraggy · 10-08-2009 06:40AM

Not my favourite but one of them.

Is good at the start and gets better again from about 2:20 when she does less singing-over (a practice that ruined many brilliant tunes, especially trance, in order to bring them to the masses and make money).

Not sure if its my favourite but one I love that never gets mentioned a lot, as I'm sure most people will pick Ferry and Armin tunes etc.

Yell0 Man · 10-08-2009 10:51AM

I remember being at gatecrasher in the point depot in 1999 before tiesto became a twat and he played this and flight 643 in his set and myself and pretty much the whole place were out of it and it felt like everything was ok with the world. That's what real trance music was all about. Being with the people you loved, listening to quality music, off the head. Could'nt beat it. Pity it all became so commercialised. ****in great memories.

Really nice build up and chords used. A bit basic but I guess the beauty is in the simplicity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBBRva1y4Zk

Same guy behind Push, production is really nice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZWTp6hblKs

Bit of an epic at 10 mins long. Good though.

kraggy · 10-08-2009 05:44PM

I know it's dripping with cheese, but it's a guilty pleasure...

Cygnus X - Superstring. I feel bad for even thinking it. And the video is straight outta the Tiesto school of show 10,000 German kids in a hangar thumping the air in unison...but I still like it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqCpDnyY3i8&feature=fvw

Binary Finary - 1998. And I'm not just being nice cos he posts on here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqFGrS2lf8k

And Storm - Storm.

I had actually never heard the original! Just remixes. It's good alright.

You gotta admit they could have cropped the first 3 mins a tad though.

Another guilty pleasure is Nalin & Kane's 'Beachball', without the vocals

A lot of that trance had long intro and outros... it made for nice/easy mixing.
