This place needs some 'Der Dritte Raum', definitely! Released in 1995 at the legendary Harthouse label!

Forgotten Taucher tune, the 'when did the light die' vocal sample is taken from Sinéad O'Connor - Troy. Released in 1993 at Crash Records.

I love me some 90's Trance!! Definitely there's a different feel from the stuff before 95 and the trance approaching the millennium. Used to spin the latter but was intrigued in the day by the former.

A little but of both in my timeline and list https://rateyourmusic.com/list/TheScientist/rym-ultimate-box-set-trance/

[SecondNature]

Grew up in San Francisco in the late 90's, where there was an explosion of raves and electronic parties. Hard trance was also referred to as Cybertrance, which I don't know if that's what we just called Hard Trance there. But a lot of local DJ's were playing music with a lot of TB-303 riffs, mixed in with the amazing and uplifting melodic trance from the late 90's. But I listened to lots of stuff from Noom Records and Time Unlimited. Commander Tom, Nostrum, Nuclear Hyde...literally were some of the coolest moments of my life going to those raves!

Instant Zen - Astral Community - Noom Records (1994)



Roughage - Scanned State - Time Unlimited (1995)

 

[Hensmon]

Der Dritte Raum - Aeolus

That's a beauty, never heard before

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

Yeah, there are so many great tracks in DDR or Harthouse back catalogue, if you like Aeolus, maybe will also like the track 'Brenner' from the same Ep, its my favourite on the release.

Here is another Harthouse tune with a different character, produced by Pete Namlook, released in 1992.

Pulsation - Transpulsation

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

Beauty track by Robert Leiner, released in 1992 at Ohm.

Andromatic - Exit

 

[Hensmon]

1992. Feels like early Progressive House

108 Grand - Te Quiero (Darren Emerson Underworld Remix)

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

I had this track on my mind today, ambient-housey trance beauty. Released in 1992 via Funky Junky Records (UK).

Truth - The Start

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

Early production from the guy behind Safri Duo's Played Alive, Michael Parsberg. Released in 1994 via Le Petit Prince (Germany).

Caucasuss - Reversible Dreams

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

The 'C-Mix' was already posted, but my heart will always beat for th 'P-Mix'. I had it on repeat some days ago, what a sincere master trance..
Released in 1994 via Eye Q Records (Germany).

Brainchild - Symmetry (P-Mix)

 

[Manofearth]

Another release from Eye Q Records. Trance/Techno/Psychedelic.

Ritual of Life [1992]

 

[Hensmon]

20 minute journeys. This is why you should listen to Trance pre 1995

[TRANCEBLASTER]

Underworld - Thing In A Book [1994]

MASSIVE!

 

[Propeller]

Co-produced by Oliver Lieb, from 1993. Love everything about this track, the horn sound, breakbeat, synths, strings and the bass part in the middle.

 

[Manofearth]

1993

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

I would not categorize 'Plastic Dreams' into Trance, but ok..

Here are some other atypical Trance tracks from the past:

Sunshower - Weekend Millionaire [Guerilla] (1994)

It's Thinking - Afterglow [Malgeto] (1992)

Axel Stephenson - Crossing Land (Bonzai) [1995]
