Normal Trance

There's a lot of great normal trance releases for those after GOOD music, not just PSYCHEDELIC music, which is often overrated.

 

My favorite artists so far are:

 

Alien Signal

Aqualite

D.I.D.

Earth Nation

Influx

L.S.G.

Mystic Force

Solar Quest

Symbiosis

UltraBass

Union Jack

Virtual Symmetry

 

There's a lot others.. and probably a ton more I've never heard of. Share some. If they are vocal please indicate that; none that I listed use vocals.

Hmm, i'm interested into normal trance since i'm a melody lover, but i know almost nothing about it.

From when did they start calling stuff like Tiesto trance?

One of the main reason i've yet to explore trance is because i know i'll find a lot of Tiesto-like clubby music, which doesn't suit me at all.

 

Any artist you could recommend me that would sound like L.S.G. - Lonely Casseopeya ?

 

I've also heard the last track (i think) from Union Jack, called "Papillon".

Not sure if that's called trance or acid trance, but i digged it (aside of the french sample, sounds stupid.. at least for the french i am).

I don't know when Tiesto stuff got called trance but maybe someone else can enlighten us. :) Most trance I have is from 1992-1996.

 

That L.S.G. track is nice, his first album is good, the rest I don't like so much though. But he has a ton of good singles on his various aliases as well as L.S.G..

 

 

Here is typical Mystic Force sounds, melancholic, eastern, melodic. I think any goa lovers should find this easily accessible, since it's quite similar.

Mystic force have some great tracks (and some meh tracks, but the one posted is amazing).

 

Normal/Euro trance sucks. 1995 and before classic/acid trance is great though.

 

Gotta love lsg, cosmic baby, mystic force, union jack etc (although apart from them I don't know many great names)

The God of normal trance is Vincent De Moore.

Ok his latest releases are way too mainstream, but he's a legend.

Granted, that's the only track I know from him, but goddamn, it's one of the best tracks I've heard in trance for sure.

 

Anyways I don't exactly follow the trance scene because there's a TON of meh in it, but a friend of mine does and he always gives me the best tunes. I know a lot of tunes I freaking love that are all from different artists and then when I listen their other stuff, it's MEH. Odd.

 

One artist I'm actually looking forward to hearing music from is Michael Cassette from finland, very melancholic synthwork and a retro vibe, I love it. :D:wub:

Trance is boring, no matter how beautiful the melodies are. I like 2 minutes in a couple of song, but the problem in trance, is that the songs last 8 minutes.

 

+1 to that

Only rarely can I handle the utter predictability of trance and psytrance isn't much better.
