    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...

    M.I.D.O.R. vs. Linn - Breathing (2005)

    The progressive mix caught my attention when Jon O'Bir played it on the radio back in the day and I bought a digital copy. I've listened to it occasionally but not that much until recently. Now listening to it, I think it's a classic. Everything fits together so well. It sounds like a relatively...

    Lamoen - Increase / Decrease (2004)

    Increase is an energy beast. Its transitions are abrubt but that's the charm of the tune. Pounding tech bassline abruptly changes into piercing, siren-like synths. The piano breakdowns are beautiful and the main synths awesome too. My favourite part is sudden reappearance of the piercing synth...

    Moogwai - Viola [1999]

    I remember hearing the original in 1999 and thinking it sounded a bit quirky. Now after many listens I realise it's an absolute masterpiece. Remixes came later but for me none can touch the original.

    Luminance - Plutonium (1999)

    One of my favourite tech trance tunes. Sounds simple but really well made. The B side on the original release was called Grace, the original mix of which does not seem to be posted anywhere on the net.

    iTunes

    Anybody else noticed that the sound quality of files purchased on iTunes is better than everywhere else? A fuller and richer sound pretty much every time. It might be to do with Apple's patented technology. After all, they were the industry leader when digital music became popular in early...

    Sébastien Léger — Extassy / In A Distorted Galaxy [Lost & Found]

    Extassy is just so cool and interesting with its chopped vocals, funky elements and trancy synths. A really well worked and original fusion that will tear up any dance floor. Liking the deeper vibe and the gentle piano of IADG too.

    Man With No Name - Vavoom! (1998)

    Words can't describe how much I love this record. It gets better with every listen even after 20+ years of listening to it. There's so much going on, so many different layers, and the main riff is superbly powerful. MWNN you are a legend! Worth mentioning that I first heard it on this...

    Liquid Child - Diving Faces [1998]

    One of the tracks that got me into trance. The original is accessible without being cheesy. It sounds simple but is actually a superbly balanced production and musically genius. The pads are ethereal, synths crispy and it's full of nice sounds and effects throughout. Even the whispering vocal...

    Ayla - Angelfalls (1999)

    This came out in late 1999 which for me was the peak of trance. 1999 was an amazing year with bangers and classics being released on a weekly basis. Then towards the end of the year, just when you thought you'd heard it all, along came this, Digger - Church of Ra, Ferry's remix of Adagio, and...

    Corin Bayley pres. R3BORN3 - Buying Time (Pure Neon)

    This one slipped under the radar somewhat. Cracking little uplifter

    Ninesh Babu - Tribe (JOOF)

    Sounds good when turned up loud, quite a busy track. Tribal prog maybe with some melodic elements. A change of direction for the label in 2022 according to John's post on Facebook starting with this.

    Tastexperience - Tantrix (Johan Gielen remix) [Black Hole]

    Really like this uplifting remix. He's retained aspects of the original like the gorgeous vocal and the oriental strings. On top of that he's done a great job of composing entirely new and epic lead synths. Synths are a bit on the thin side but overall everything fits well as a package.

    Best of: Solarstone's labels

    So, what are your favourite tracks on the Pure family of labels. There must be over 1000 releases out by now on Pure, Neon and Progressive, really flying the flag for trance. This one is quite simple but works so well.

    Basil O'Glue & Nomas - Falling Together [Steyoyoke]

    Love the dark atmospheric sounds in the background, the bouncy bassline and the synths. Just wish the synths would go on for longer. Another cool colab between BOG and Nomas.

    Solarstone - Pale Blue Dot [Pure Trance]

    I'm surprised this one never got a mention on this forum when EA4 came out. One of the most beautiful tracks from the compilation, ethereal vocals, pads, synths....

    Glynn Alan - Shuttlewood (Lost Language)

    The treble is turned up a bit too high but otherwise the original a great track @GlynnAlan

    Natious - Flashpoint (1999)

    First heard this on the Gatecrasher Disco-Tech compilation in 1999 and it blew me away. It's still in my top 10 ever, and it's all about the Christian West's 'Feel' mix 1. An amazing crisp production with sounds and effects like they were produced by bashing and rubbing together bits of...

    Activa & John Dopping - It Never Ends [2019]

    The best I've heard from Activa. Love the crystal clear production and ice cold melodies.
