One of the few great trance tunes of 1992.

Super chaotic track. The melodic hook is nice and if the whole piece would be built around it, it would be great, for sure, among the best of 1992. But most of the tune is chaotic, noisy, directionless, and unpleasant to listen to.

Okay, so there's the one I already included in the first post, and this one. Both aim for the same goal: make the sound more lively by tweaking and improving the bass while making sure no detail is being lost in the mids. This worked for me very well. If you would still like to tweak it, my...

It tells you a lot when I find more interesting details and 'artistic value' in an AI-generated track (Ascent) than in the so-called modern trance. :D

I did an online test (320 kbps MP3 vs 1411 kbps FLAC) and was able to tell the difference in most cases even without a DAC/AMP and with mid-range headphones. The difference depends a lot though on the mixing/mastering of the track and the type of track being played. In any case, I think FLAC is...

It's great to hear that you like the sound of the AEON Closed X and are happy with your purchase. I just sold mine though yesterday, because while I think it's indeed good (especially if you are listening to a diverse range of music), I feel my DT1770 Pro still significantly outclasses it when...

I have a lossless vinyl rip (FLAC).

I would love to have this.

Glad I could help. Right now though I would still vote for the DT1770 Pro as it works significantly better with electronic music, especially with trance, even though I did indeed achieve fantastic results by EQ-ing the AEON. So please keep that in mind. But if you are looking for a more general...

Agreed. I try to acquire every single tune I like in lossless (FLAC) format. I don't even use streaming platforms for this very reason: they don't have most of the tunes, while I can get lossless from CDs, Bandcamp (or alternatives), other sources, or high-quality rips from vinyl (in case the...

I used to change my headphones regularly in the past to try to find what is best, not just in terms of sound, but in terms of build quality and comfort too. I was always a bit unsatisfied up until I bought a Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus, which is essentially a more refined version of the...

I prefer closed-back headphones for music in general for a more intimate and focused feel and I daily drive a Beyerdynamic DT1770 Pro with a Topping DX3 Pro+ AMP/DAC combo. I also just bought an AEON Closed X and decided to jump into the world of EQ-ing as I haven't really done this before. I...

I don't really care. As a producer who decided to share his work publicly, you should be prepared and should be open to any and all potential criticism/opinion and take it with humility and dignity, regardless of whether if it's positive or negative. Instead of taking this personally, maybe you...

Yes. Aside from a few outliers, no actual trance tunes have been produced in (nearly) the past two decades. Just tunes that have been labeled as trance for various (and wrong) reasons.

It's good to see that the discussion about these two tracks is more level-headed here. In trance-related Facebook groups, people tend to form their entire identity around these tracks. They often use these tunes as focal points to try to demonstrate how great their taste is, as well as how...

"Trance is dead" From a music production standpoint, this statement is true, as practically no actual trance records have been created since around the mid 2000s. This means that even the newest/latest trance productions are nearly 20 years old by now (which basically makes all trance tunes...

I would love to get my hands on a high quality lossless vinyl rip of this one:

So far I'm at around 20 thousand. The next version of the database will have a few new things. I may put subgenre tags into the database later. Edit: if you are looking for non-curated tunes, the Master Database (which is also linked here) already has subgenre tags, including Hard Trance, and...

I wanted to wait with this update until I finalized all picks from 1990-1993 (including the tracks' ratings) and also recalculated their weighted ratings, as I don't really want to publish updates that make the database feel unfinished/incomplete. But because there hasn't been a new update for...
