I've been getting super pumped on trance lately, moreso than usual haha.
 
Ferry Corsten will be in town tomorrow night, I'm hoping on sneaking out for it!  ATB was also in AZ last week, which I regrettably had to miss to make it to school the next morning.
 
I am a little disappointed in what Armin Van Buuren put out with Mirage, but he's still my favorite.  I've been rocking out to Above and Beyond - Ajunabeats Vol 8 and Kaskade - Electric Daisy Carnival based on a friend's recommendations.
 
What trance are you guys listening to now?  Post it up!

I know it's not technically trance, but if you search Drum and Bass Arena: Anthology, it is a pretty do all collection of un tiss un tiss you'll need. It's good when you don't feel like picking any individual song/artist, especially in itunes/ipod.
 
I also like Chase and Status even tho they kinda sold out, Sub Focus is good too. I like Drumsound and Bassline Smith.
 
I know you wouldn't call that trance but from what I've seen on these forums thats as close as it comes haha

Don't have what you want. You interested in Goa?

I love the Song by Van Buuren with Sharon den adel (within temptation) i was impressed she was not singing metal this time.

I've also been listening to a lot of Above and Beyond recently.
 
Trance Around the World backlogs usually hit the spot. I'm also a fan of the old Tiesto In Search of Sunrise's so I give those a listen once in a while.

I've been learning towards Tiesto...is there any song you guys recommend? 

 

[11amaberry]

I know there's a ton of different genres in "electronic" type music and I really don't care to pay attention because they pretty much all sound the same
 
Personally I like Deadmau5, Morgan Page, Krazy Baldhead, Boyz Noize, Justice, Pendulum, Chris Lake... Wow, there's alot.
 
I usually just use last.fm to find new artists that sound similar to my favorites (Use Deadmau5, Pendulum, or Justice as good starters for stations).

As for original Tiesto songs I like: 
 
Look up some of the songs on In My Memory;
I'll like the whole album. It has a nice deep, pensive, almost atmospheric sound topped off with vocals. 
 
Battleship Grey
In My Memory
Suburban Train
...
 
A few songs off his ISOS's:
 
Do What U Want [Max Graham]
My World [Andy Moor]
To Forever [Moonbeam]
 
 
If you liked any of those, you can go ahead and listen to the rest of the songs on that particular compilation. They're all well done IMO.

I think because you're saying "electronic" and "all sounds the same" in the same sentence

 
 
I'm probably mistaken in this but I liken electronic to stuff like the Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Dirty Vegas ~ while I consider trance a little more epic in scope (ie songs that blend seamlessly) and that you can dance to. 
 
I've noticed a trend that some of the big names tend to 1) Do their own original stuff (which can be big hit or big miss) or 2) Remix what their friends are doing.  The sounds IMO are not alike, most DJ's you can pick out based on their style. 
 
This is a really awesome thread though, lots of new names I've never heard before.

Really? Funny you say that because I listened to it, and don't get me wrong I love the album (Vegas), but I just couldn't really put it on play and listen to it. It just seemed kinda out there, like I couldn't get a grasp on it you know? I mean I guess it's not all my style, but I want some energy is electronic music, but I guess that's why I enjoy the Prodigy more (awesome band if you never heard them I could give you a few songs depending on your taste)

Heh, yeah. I would probably go as far as saying Electronic music and it's sub genres have the most diversity between them compared to other umbrella genre sub genres. If that makes any sense, lol.  
 
 
Yeah Prodigy is awesome, especially Fat of the Land.
 

 

[11amaberry]

True, my bad
I guess to "experienced" listeners, this music field can be very different between genres.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that
