[MrAngryFace]

Im listening to the following right now. I dont have much in the way of dance/trance stuff tho:

 

[yoshifumi]

kylie minogue - fever
i am ashamed to admit that this is one of my favorite albums ever

 

[Greekboy]

Get some

ASAP:

 

[robot]

XTC Radio
Awesome radio station on there.

Oh, and Sasha's new CD, Involver cd rocks all kinda ass.

 

[cybamerc]

MrAngryFace:

If you like the DJ Encore stuff try checking out Lasgo and Ian van Dahl. It's very similar in style.


yoshifumi:

> kylie minogue - fever

Er... it's pop.

 

[djtiesto]

 

[cybamerc]

Out There and Back is a boring album. Of course I've never really been a fan of PvD's productions.

 

[yoshifumi]

yoshifumi:

Er... it's pop.

yea yea but it's kind of dance pop.

 

[djtiesto]

Out There and Back is a boring album. Of course I've never really been a fan of PvD's productions.

Any burgeoning trance fan needs to have a bit of PVD in their lives... Haven't been overly thrilled with his artist albums, but every now and then he puts out an amazing production. For An Angel was one of the songs that got me into trance when it first came out...

 

[cybamerc]

yea yea but it's kind of dance pop.

Well... if you consider house/lounge a form of dance.

 

[p_xavier]

 

[cybamerc]

For An Angel was one of the songs that got me into trance when it first came out...

An overrated track IMO... but like I said, not a fan of PvD's productions.

 

[navanman]

robert miles- dreamland is a class album
children is an all time classic song,

ive got 2 euphoria albums, well recommended.

 

[p_xavier]

I agree about the dreamland album, I still listen to children a dozen times, daily. The best song ever IMO.

 

[teiresias]

I feel so not gay, I don't own a single dance CD

 

[Greekboy]

I feel so not gay, I don't own a single dance CD

Actually that means you are more gay.

 

[cybamerc]

navanman:

> robert miles- dreamland is a class album

Was just going to mention it. I think it's possibly the only truly perfect album in the trance genre (well, dream house but whatever). Most trance producers save their good tracks for single releases so when they make an album there's too much filler material.

 

[djtiesto]

Well... if you consider house/lounge a form of dance.

House is pretty much the origin of popular electronic dance music... and was the biggest genre till Trance blew up in 98-99...

 

[cybamerc]

House is pretty much the origin of popular electronic dance music... and was the biggest genre till Trance blew up in 98-99...

Even if house started it all it's still a subset of electronic music and different from dance. House in all of its incarnations is still bigger than trance.

 

[Dilbert]

Another unqualified vote for this one:

And a vote for this one, although I STILL don't like the last two tracks:

But the biggest vote is reserved for this artist album from a couple of years ago:

In particular, check out "Stealth," "Shark Hunt," and "Activity." (Knowing MAF's tastes, he will listen to "Stealth" about a hundred times in a row when he first hears it...) If you like their sound, their much-anticipated new album will hit on September 14 in the US.

 

[shibbs]

Dont really listen to dance/trance, im more of a techno man.

Dj's like:

Umek
Rush
Marco remus
Adam beyer
Henrik B
Sven vath
Micheal Burkat
Gayle san
Kay d smith
Lars klein

Anyone else into this?.....maybe? :\

 

[Tsubaki]

Woo dj encore/engelina... a friend lent me his copy and I was sold!

I'm partial to those Avex compilations like this:

 

[rs7k]

I love trance music, although I haven't gotten around to purchasing CD's yet. They're not that easy to find, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to resort to buying them off the Internet.

Anyways, some favourites...

DJ Tiesto
Dumonde
Ferry Corsten
Matt Darey

There's quite a few more artists that I like, although I don't know if they're known... They only seem to be featured on DI (www.di.fm). Great Internet station. Thanks to whoever recommended it, it was someone here.

Sorry for the bad writing, I'm sorta tipsy off one beer. Pathetic.

 

[pixelated]

come to the dark side

 

[mightynine]

What, no one suggesting BT? *ducks head* Actually, I like his old AND new stuff.

I need to get back into some electronic moozic. I've been on a very acoustic kick lately. Might have to check out that Sasha.....

 

[Fusebox]

'ere we go. Some awesome quick, uplifting hi-nrg upfront UK 'ardcore mixes for the massive by DJ Spree.

http://www.spreeandadb.com/music/

I downloaded Live @ Blueshift and Summer Anthems 2004 and they're ace! Decent scratching and mixing and some hooj hooj choons. Anyone into harder faster funner techno should check out a mix or two.

Live @ Blueshift has an ace techno remix of Evanescances Bring Me To Life btw.

 

[Dilbert]

Oh, yeah, duh -- check out http://www.hybridized.org for free downloads of all kinds of prog/house DJ sets.

 

[Ill Saint]

House is pretty much the origin of popular electronic dance music... and was the biggest genre till Trance blew up in 98-99...

Thay's pretty debatable. House as a genre kicked in a few years after Techno, no? Cybotron in 1983, then Saunderson, Atkins, May... I'm pretty sure these guys kicked things off in parallel or just before the advent Chicago House.

In any case wouldn't the liked of Kraftwerk Afriaka Bambaataa etc. would be the ones to credit as really laying down the blueprint for electronic dance music?

As for Trance, The Martian and his seminal Red Planet releases was the prototype for the genre. Crucial stuff.

 

[KAOS]

Thumbs up for the junglism of Dieselboy{you might want to check out PGR2's DJ Acucrack's The Dope king}

For Trance:

Ferry Corstein/Gouryella
Kontakt
Reaver on Dope
C4
Delirium
Scooter
BK
Above and Beyound
Victor Dinaire
George Acosta

As far as order goes I would say...
Disco...electronica/break beat/hiphop/freestyle...house...acid...techno...gabber house...trance...jungle.

 

[Ill Saint]

A comprehensive guide to electronic music. More genre splicing than necessary, some omissions, and occasionally dodgy, but often funny commentary.

http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html

Look for former GAF celebrity Lisa Lashes in the very apt "Stupid" section under Trance.

Also super biased. The guy who made this is a real asshole.. Not just because of his comments but because he actually went to a trance forum and started running his mouth there.

Yup, I'll agree with you for this - Saunderson/Atkins/May, Kraftwerk... hell, you can even go further back to Steve Reich and the whole "minimalism" movement, or the advent of the Moog synthesizer... I just feel that House (which was basically created in parallel to Detroit's techno) was the first music to become commercially successful in both the US and the UK.

 

[djtiesto]

It's nice to see some other people into electronic music on here... though me and Lisa were the only ones, for a while isamu - you've made a few great selections, though some of them I wouldn't recommend to people just starting out in dance music... like Digweed in HK is a fantastic CD, but it took a while for it to grow on me.

[FightyF]

I can listen to Bonkers 9 - Sharkey's mix over and over again and not get tired of it.

Though the middle of his Bonkers XI mix is the best music ever created on the face of this Earth.

 

[Mr Gump]

If you want a great dance song, check out:

Poison by Groove Coverage.

Gets me pumped before i go out aaaall the time.

Another one to note includes:

Come with me - Special D

 

[demon]

I don't know exactly what genre you'd fit this into, but I'll mention them anyway. Mostly because they're fuckin awesome, and they're stuff isn't even released in the states.

http://www.theegg.org.uk/


They have three albums out: Albumen, Travelator, and /Forwards which was released on the 16th. They're sort of a dance/funk/electronica group that play actual instruments.

 

[ElyrionX]

Hmmm, I stopped buying trance albums/compilations some years back. However, I do find Sasha's new album really intriguing. How good is it anyway? I still remember back in those days one of the most kickass trance tune around was Sasha's Xpander.....

Somone give this man a god damn medal.

 

[CeruleanSilver]

Mmm yeah, Xpander is one of those classic tracks.

I second jinx's Way Out West recommendation. Their album Intensify is really all around excellent. I'm very excited for the new release coming up. I saw them live not too long ago actually... new stuff was sounding good.

As for Bonkers XI, I heard part of it on di.fm within the last day or so... my favorite happy hardcore album is still probably Scott Brown's Hardcorevolution, can't go wrong with Mr Scott Brown.

As for what I recommend to you MAF: the two covers you present put you squarely in the pop-trance genre. I'd tell you to get 4 String's full album Believe, lots of great tracks. BT might suit you... stay away from his techish (and IMO obnoxious) Ima album though. There's always Alice Deejay for some more pop/trance/cheese. I'm sure ATB would make you happy. There's Blumchen if you're interested in hitting up the hardcore part of the pop-trance market.

 

[Ill Saint]

Yup, I'll agree with you for this - Saunderson/Atkins/May, Kraftwerk... hell, you can even go further back to Steve Reich and the whole "minimalism" movement, or the advent of the Moog synthesizer... I just feel that House (which was basically created in parallel to Detroit's techno) was the first music to become commercially successful in both the US and the UK.

I adore electronic music, but in the realm of "Techno / House", only the Detroit and Berlin artists... The aforementioned Atkins, May etc. Underground Resistance, Carl Craig, Jeff Mills, Rob Hood, Drexciya, Moodymann etc... and Basic Channel, Monolake, Porter Ricks, Scion, Vainqueur etc. on the Berlin side. Some good stuff came out of the UK in Surgeon and Regis, too.

I'm not really fond of the commercial side of the spectrum nor do I care much for Trance, but props for being successful and doing what what you love.
