Early 'Art Of Trance' production, the Spirit Level mix had massive support in the scene, maybe some of you know the Moogway remix from 2000. Released in 1993 at Platipus.

Poltergeist - Vicious Circles (Spirit Level Mix)

Would you guys say this is trance? It has that feeling, but it's classified as techno on Discogs. It's from '92.

Those chords are so warm, the synth is just beyond amazing. Had the chance to hear it live, had the time of my life.

The great thing about this era is that the genres are pretty blurry. There is no hard cut-off to when something is trance or techno.
In my opinion: If Acid Eiffel can be considered "trance," so can Die Menschmachine. Tbh it reminds me of Der Dritte Raum - like an early inspiration of it.

Only one I'm really familiar with pre-1995.

Check out the tracks on the OP :)

A couple of acid air raid clones out there but this one truly stands out, better imo
a very haunting track, reminds me of metroid somehow
The days where robert miles - children ruled trance, many obscured like-minded release and this is one of them
my favorite Way out West remix ever.

Everyone should listen to 90s trance onwards very early 00s. Its the only good trance and us who are old enough and actually know what good music is knows that. Today there are only 'sheep' who follow the 'herd', wich thinks sledgehammer kicks and puke infested melodies is 'cool'. no one can actually think for themselves anymore wich says a lot about humanity. Such *trance' < wich isnt trance should not be allowed to be played, even produced. seems like an industry to me. 'lets make some 'trance' to control' the 'sheep' stupid enough to listen to it because, you know, its 'popular'. EVERYONE else listen to it so it must be good. GOOD GRIEF HOW STUPID CAN PEOPLE BE!? Use your brain! DONT listen to such poison just because EVERYONE else does! IQ points have dropped since the good ol' 90s obviously. What will happen to trance in the future? thinking about that makes me want to tear of my ears! Trance is dead! Todays 'trance' is NOT TRANCE! What is wrong with you all!? :cautious::poop:🥶👎👎

Today there are only 'sheep' who follow the 'herd', wich thinks sledgehammer kicks and puke infested melodies is 'cool'.

I don't think that this is really the case personally. I know when I was first getting into Trance I would like and consume everything that came my way, the good and the bad. I loved the quality classics the most, but still also so much shit. I was young and banging stuff appealed to me and I didn't have the ear experience to distinguish in a meaningful way. It just comes down to how much of music you listen to of that particular genre...your brain needs that time and experience to develop a more refined outlook. I would bet the a lot of the sledgehammer movement was fuelled by younger producers and/or producers that come from countries without a long history of electronic music. I don't think its a reflection of society as a whole, these people arent idiots, just lacking the taste that will come eventually.

Anyway back on topic...

@TRANCEBLASTER that Alter Ego - Soulfree track is so nice. If you have anymore suggestions like that with the dreamy bpm and atmospheres then please share. I guess Jam and Spoon - Stella is the ultimate and iconic example of that, also Humate - Love Stimulation. Speaking of Love Stimulation, the other tracks on that EP were nice too.

Humate - Curios (Inquistive Remix)

I don't think that this is really the case personally. I know when I was first getting into Trance I would like and consume everything that came my way, the good and the bad...

Anyway back on topic...

yes you are right. had a few beers when i wrote that. People are allowed to like whatever they want. Forgive my rants, i should stay away from forums when consuming alcohol.
