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.

Update #9 (2024. April 17th): - Visual changes to achieve unified design accross all pages - Changed some tracks' Curator's Rating - Minor wording changes - Added information to the Home page regarding icons and the evaluation of tunes - Added all 2540 tracks from Trance Classics and...

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

Update #7 (2024. April 8th): - Added Mixers sheet - Design changes - Removed Juno Download because the website is unreliable and loads extremely slowly using dedicated search links or doesn't show results at all - Added 8 new tracks (these are listed below) Tracks added: 1. Bionic Crew -...

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.

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

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.

That would be great. PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS. It wouldn't be a gigantic job for a programmer, just transferring my database from Google Sheets to a website and implementing a few filtering and display options.

Thanks! I'm progressing a little bit slowly though since I know practically nothing about web programming so I have to use Chat GPT to write the code.
