Came to trance via Astral Projection in 2004 (-ish), took a bit of a break from 2010-2013, been my main music thing ever since. Also metal and dark ambient (actual ambient, not "downtempo" or whatever).

Where to begin? Wheeere to begin?
My thoughts exactly. My favorite albums of all time are pretty much all ambient albums, either for their entire runtime or the majority of it.

In general, I think one needs to venture outside what most people would think of as “electronic music” in order to find the best ambient music. Found sounds and audio manipulation/sound design i...
This style is long gone. Such a futuristic sound. Ironically more futuristic than any current trance.

I listened to 30 seconds of that and immediately felt the need to cleanse and purify myself:

Songwriting and production: How about we just get rid of long breakdowns. It's dance music; keep the beat moving. Most breakdowns are mediocre anyway, and when you make them long on top of a 30-60 second intro ...
Hmm. Didn't notice this lead melody in the original so I'll say Askew ripped it off. Mind you this was 2012, so that whole thing about taking melodies from old classics isn't anything new.
But, since I li...
^Ibon's doesn't merely just make trancey techno, he drops actual trance in his sets. He did a show in New York a few weeks ago that had some old Push tracks mixed in alongside techno.
just checked his new mix,...
^Incolumis can do no wrong in my mind.

Sounds like noisy techno in the beginning, halfway through you realize this is what old trance sounded like.

If I had known there was a free version of Spotify I would have used it with adblockers. So now I guess I'll just never use Spotify ever.
They are basically turning it into a hulu based service. In order to keep ...
I dunno, I really liked Cold Blue's remix of the latest Joint Operations Centre track:

Yeah I wasn't expecting that much downtempo, but it's really good. Quite a trip. The mixing/mastering is just about perfect. My only issue is there are too many voice samples.

For the next month? Nowhere; it's Amplifyd-only until December.
So how have people heard the album then? You wouldnt buy it without listening to samples would you....

The thing that's unique about TDB is how he can switch from darkness to catharsis within a single track without making it seem jagged or uneven, but those dark parts are just way too dark to fit in with Pure Tranc...
Album is growing and growing on me. Lovely trance. More of this kind of trance labels out there pls.
I wonder why Solarstone not playing one single track by TDB on his radioshow.

...does "3rd album" mean another 00.db album? Man, we're getting STOMPED by these two if that's the case:
2016: J00F album
2017: DB album
2018: DB album
2019: another 00.db album?
2020: another DB album

The melody in 'Camaro' sounds like an old track but its driving me mad as i cant quite remember what it is.
I think it sounds a bit like "Legato" but less uplifting.
I'll buy the album this week and give it a spin, but I'd just like to point out for those concerned with/annoyed by the tempo of his Global Trance Grooves mix: if Beatport is accurate, half the album is below 130b...
Can I refer to sub-130bpm trance as heroin trance and hi-tech/forest as cocaine trance?
Yes! Don't forget to include HGH Trance as well.
For those out of the loop: The term "Steroid Trance" was officially coined ...
Yes popularity decreased after 2004 it is 100% truth.
Also if you create your own tracklist from each year you get very similary results.
Best thing about this years was quality and genre was mainstream, f...
