top TECHNO/TRANCE tracks?
Question by apo_ares: top TECHNO/TRANCE tracks?
If you share my taste in music I would like to know of any tracks you think I should listen to.
Some critics place tracks in top 100 lists based on their influence in the techno scene but the tracks I pick out are mostly recent productions, with the exceptions of Miro -“paradise,” Push – “strange world,” and café del mar – “energy 52”. I suppose groups like Kraftwerk, The future sounds of London, and orbital deserve some honorable mention but are too out dated for my taste. Also Eno was a great ambient producer of the past. I left out underworld – “born slippy” from the top list because although it was a great song it went from hard to peaceful and I can’t be in the mood for both in one track A lot of great original productions aren’t listed simply because they aren’t available to the average music consumer but I would check out www.releaserecords.com. I prefer the dark moody sounds of artists such as Markus Schulz so in that sense I am biased. I also have a soft spot for some of the more ambient sounding tracks. I steer away from the harder tracks and prefer trance and progressive over techno. I did not add Sasha’s Northern Exposure on the best album list because honestly I felt bored listening to it. DJ tiesto was my past favorite and I think his mixing is top notch but that his productions are lacking, and I was not impressed with his recent work. Armin seems to me like he will take the top spot. However, I don’t feel he is the best necessarily, just more likeable. Moby was not listed although he is brilliant but his style is too different and in a league of its own. But I suppose his “children of the corn” would make it on my list some place as well as some other key tracks.

Hmm, can’t say that I’m a huge fan of Progressive Trance which is what most of what you listed is. The song you have listed as
–> Dido – You Take My Breath Away
is probably misnamed, it should be
–> Sureal – You Take My Breath Away (DJ Tiesto Mix)
