    Don't let that work go to waste, I'm curious about your top 30.

    First of all: OCD stands for Obsessive-compulsive disorder, in which a person experiences uncontrollable and recurring thoughts (obsessions), engages in repetitive behaviors (compulsions), or both. I don't know in what way this terminology/disorder could be applied to my involvment with this...

    Public Intellectuals

    I have 12 Rules For Life and 12 More Rules For Life from Peterson, but I've yet to read them. I quite frequently watch (or used to watch) his videos, one of my most respected public intellectuals.

    Update #11 (2024. May 6th): 1. The Year column has been replaced with the Date column. When possible, it shows the exact date when the given tune was first released, instead of just its release year. Some dates are precise, as they are based on Discogs, Wikipedia, Beatport, and other sources...

    Classic Trance Database [100%] & Classic Trance Curated Database [10%] - Last updated on May 6th

    Update #10 (2024. April 30th): With the release of the 10th update to the database, I can now say that I listened to all classic trance tunes from 1993 and from 1994. This represents around 15,000 tracks, or roughly 10% of all the tracks I have to listen to (150,000). This is a big update. I...

    1881 classic trance song selection.

    TBH, I only said Deep House because it is categorized as such in one of the releases on Discogs. I have to admit that I'm not as familiar with electronic music genres besides trance, synthwave, ambient, and maybe techno. I know that about 2trancecentral, but he uploads all kinds of electronic...

    1881 classic trance song selection.

    Impressive work. It seems like you've done something similar over the years that I'm trying to accomplish now with my Classic Trance Curated Database. I listened to all 6000+ trance tunes from 1993, nearly all 9000 from 1994 and most from 1988-1992 so I'm familiar with basically all the tracks...

    Effective Force - Illuminate The Planet (World In Order Mix) [1993]

    I can absolutely agree with this sentiment. TBH, I don't really know why his Humate mix turned out to be such a big hit and a cult classic, while this one became quite forgotten. This one resonates with me way more, it's more trancey, more energetic, and is full of emotions.

    Effective Force - Illuminate The Planet (World In Order Mix) [1993]

    This is one of the many tunes that was featured in MFS Berliner – a trance documentary from 1993 showing the early days of the genre with key figures such as Paul Van Dyk, Mark Reeder, and Laurent Garnier. The remixer behind this version is none other than Paul Van Dyk, and despite some of his...

    Micro Cosmos - Cosmic Trax [1994]

    This is a short and really simple trance tune that pretty much loops through the same melody with some slight changes, similarly to Moby - Go (Subliminal Mix). What makes this track really stand out to me is how it makes me feel. It's enchanting, ethereal, and entrancing, It also has sounds and...

    Lotus Eye - Enchanted (Komatex Remix) [1994]

    That would explain why I love this tune so much, since many of the early works of Detlef Hastik and Ralph Fritsch (Komakino, Final Fantasy, etc.) heavily resonate with me. I find a lot of emotion, depth, and memorable melodies in their tunes.

    Lotus Eye - Enchanted (Komatex Remix) [1994]

    This is hauntingly beautiful, how have I not heard this before?

    The Quality Pyramid in trance music

    As some of you may know, I'm listening to every single classic trance tune ever released (on vinyl) to make a complete database of the greatest tracks from the classic era (and to eventually write a trance-related book). So far, I listened to all 6,000 tunes from 1993, 6400 from the 9000 in...

    Rare tracks not found in download stores

    I'm looking for the Rush Mix of The 5th Dimension. This one never came out in lossless format (CD/WEB). I have a FLAC vinyl rip, but it sounds extremely bad. Anyone has a good quality vinyl rip of this? Edit: I'm also looking for this one. CD version is available.

    Update #8 (2024. April 10th): My goal with this project is to ultimately create a complete database that features every single worthwhile classic trance tune that has ever been released. I draw the line at 3.5 stars (out of 5), ensuring that the collection remains focused and will only feature...

    I was busy with the website version of the database for a few weeks and I also had some other things to do, but next week, we are going back to regular weekly updates, so you can expect new tracks added to the database in the coming days.

    Rare tracks not found in download stores

    Very unique tune from 1994. No CD/WEB release, no lossless vinyl rip as far as I know. Yeah boyyy, I spoke to Ralphie Dee, he will remaster the entire EP in two weeks, he found the DAT. :D

    The Psybient & Psychill Thread

    I use Discogs data as a reference. Any track that is tagged as a form of trance and released on vinyl between 1988 and 2009 is present in the Master Database.
