    Thomas Datt - 2v2 (The Frequency Of Return) [Stellar Soundscapes]

    It's a good tune. He can charge for it whatever he likes. It likely took him many days/weeks to produce. High quality art only exists if there are patrons willing to support the artist. The main reason why music is so bad these days compared to the golden times is that there are next to zero...

    Tiesto and Ferry Corsten - Pres - Vimana - We Came/Dreamtime [1999]

    I saw Tiesto play in London in 1999 and We Came was his closing track. The club was dark and grotty and there weren't many people. I approached him after the set to ask him to sign my copy of 'Magik - a new adventure'. He seemed genuinely surprised that someone would ask for his signature and...

    Ayla - Ayla [1996]

    lol, what? It's nearly 10 minutes long with a beautiful 2 min instrumental intro plus a well-crafted outro. It's none of the things you describe. Also features some of the most beautiful and emotional sounds ever made in this kind of trance. A well produced journey of a record too. Still played...

    Coredata - Shimmer [Pure Progressive]

    Coredata really getting there as a producer. So many superb moments in this track. It's been an absolutely terrible year for trance and then you get a gem like this. I just wish the melody that appears in the breakdown was also used in the take-off to give it more of a journey feel. But the...

    Happy to take that mate even if it's not a true flac. Good point about contacting Tony.

    E-Razor - Mantra (1997)

    Two amazing and different records on a single release. This kind of thing only happened in the 90s and, to a lesser extent, in the early 00s. Mantra is better known but I find Yeti more unique with that incredible repeating riff. Probably the greatest techy riff ever. Yeti was remade in 1999 by...

    Musix - Cyber Desire / Turn the Page (2003)

    Musix... Collaboration between MIKE and some other dude. Have always liked Cyber Desire for its somewhat uniquely dark mood and originality. What happens after the breakdown is truly mind blowing and the most standout feature for me. The whole track is excellent though. It's also impressive...

    Coredata - Shimmer [Pure Progressive]

    Really well produced atmospheric track. Builds superbly up to and including the breakdown. A bit disappointing that after the breakdown it doesn't progress to a climax but instead we get the return of the synth from the build up. I feel that for a trance record to be truly great it has to have...

    Super-Frog Saves Tokyo - Clarion [Electronic Architecture]

    This sounds really cool. Need to hear the full track uninterrupted to judge how it flows. We need more of this kind of trance.

    Tracks in the style of Sasha - Xpander

    This has similarities to Xpander and was probably inspired by it. However it's an amazing tune in its own right and I prefer it out of the two.

    Classic Trance Historical Breakdown [1987-2007]

    Oh come on. I respect your opinion but one of the lines is There's a coldness in the air, yeah but I don't care. The entire vocal is sung with such an attitude that's usually reserved for pop records. It's trying so hard to sound 'cool'. Combined, the content of the lyrics and the attitude make...

    Classic Trance Historical Breakdown [1987-2007]

    I'd say you have to separate 1999 from 2000 and 2001 and give it a section of its own. It was very different from those two years. You'd hear amazing things every single week because there was so much good trance released. 96-98 period is a good summary but Ferry and Armin were fairly...

    JOOF's essential mix is closer to Sandstorm's release date than today

    Nice one, thanks for posting the 2001 mix as well. Refreshes my memory of it. I prefer the 2000 mix. I really think it's something special. The overall vibe, tempo and track selection are more coherent than in 2001. Great selection of underground tracks, dark mood and enough melodic parts to...

    Firewall - Reflections/Touched (2001)

    Well... what can I say... I'd never heard Reflections or Touched up to now. Listening now and Reflections is a stone cold classic, one of Lange's best productions. Important to note he was still using analog gear at this point so it has that warm classic sound. And what a melody. I know by 2003...

    O.H.M - Entropy EP [1995]

    Wow this is so good... Early - mid 90s trance, so unstructured, raw and organic sounding. It gets more formulaic towards the end of the 90s but musically it remained very good and enjoyable. Unfortunately at a certain point in the 2000s it becomes unbearably generic and musically awful.

    The Jim Prophet Experience - Androids (Flying In The Space Mix) [1999]

    What a stunner. You've posted a lot of obscure old tracks that I've not heard. Planetary Consciousness was a quality deep/prog trance label so not surprised this is good.

    Ra - The Curse [1998]

    This is really nice. Obscure, vinyl only release. Maybe Larry Lush, AKA Quietman can make it available digitally as he's already released a lot of his old stuff on Bandcamp...

    Jon The Dentist Presents Underground Cyber Movement – Volume 5 [1998]

    Nice little banger, hadn't heard it before. JTD is an underrated producer.

    Sean Dexter Synthetica (1999)

    Yeah Synthetica is pretty awesome, even if it is repetitive. I wonder if it is inspired by Universal Nation at all. Nice 'Yeah' shout too.
