Nalin & Kane - Beachball (1996)

(Ibiza Trance)

24.DnTel - (This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan (Superpitcher Kompakt Remix) (2002)
(Neo/Minimal Trance/Microhouse)
Beautiful vocals by Ben Gibbard, also the lead singer to the band Death Cab For
Cutie and the project The Postal Service. It's rare and almost extinct-able that a
trance song has an even blend of musical euphoria and strong lyrics. This song
destroys boundaries.

25.Lost Tribe - Gamemasters / My Soul (1997)

(Progressive Trance)
Uh, have you HEARD the amount of acid layers in this song!? It gives me utter
tingles and chills. Yeah yeah, I know its basis is that of Quench's "Dreams," but
the point here is that it just builds and builds until it's something
catastrophically different. Evolved until things are serious. And things here are
pretty much serious. Except for those spoken lyrics, but hey, they actually get you
caught up in the song as well. Also, Lost Tribe released this EP with "Angel" and
another song included called "My Soul," which is basically the same song except
with different lyrics, and an extremely epic piano synth added on top of all of the
acid. I could take this song or leave it, it's just another good one to be
mentioned.

26.Aril Brikha - Winter (2007)

(Neo Trance)

27.Brainchild - Synfonica (1993)

(Classic Trance)

28.Art of Trance - Deeper Than Deep (1993)

(Acid Trance)

29.Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Stones Atlantis Mix) (1999)

(Ibiza Trance)
I love this song. It's so dreamy- its like a complete chill out/world beat song
with a solid trance rhythm. Capable of both penetrating a concentrated rave
atmosphere and soothing a segment on a Pure Moods compilation.

30.Gus Gus - Purple (Sasha vs. The Light Remix) (1998)

(Progressive Breaktrance)

31.4Voice - Eternal Spirit (1993)

(Classic/Acid Trance)
Think KayCee's "Escape" is one of the greatest trance songs you've ever heard? You
haven't heard of this song then. Think again.

32.Efdemin - Lohn & Brot (2006)

(Neo Trance)
Like Ame's "Rej," this song slowly progresses into a lovely melodious complex,
although not nearly as dark and vicious by the end. Still, very beautiful, and well
worth the incentive of listening to once acquired.

33.The Field - Over the Ice (2006)

(Neo Trance/Minimal Techno)

34.Gabriel Ananda - Ihre Personliche Glucksmelodie (2005)

(Neo Trance)

35.Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (James Holden Remix) (2004)
(Neo/Minimal Trance)

36.Ultraviolet - Kites (Fantasy Flite Part One) (1991)

(Ambient Breaks/Breaktrance)
So, I looked this up on Discogs, and the actual "Fantasy Flight 1" version of this
song came out in 1991, the original version in 1990. That makes it just about as
classic as Age of Love, Dance 2 Trance, and Future Sound. Perhaps the first
breaktrance song in question? Lovely vocals by Maria (also presently in question).
There's also an instrumental version of this song done by Ultraviolet, under the
title of "Fly," released at the same period.

37.Cybernaut - Hydrophonix (1997)

(Goa Trance)

38.Bedrock feat. Kyo - For What You Dream Of (1993)

(Classic Trance/Progressive House)

39.Dance 2 Trance - We Came In Peace (1990)

(Classic Trance)

40.Infected Mushroom - Ratio Schmatio (2004)

(PsyTrance)

41.The MFA - The Difference It Makes (2004)

(Neo Trance)

42.William Orbit - Water from a Wine Leaf (Xylem Flow Mix) (1992)
(Progressive/Ambient House)
Whoever thinks William Orbit's "Water from a Wine Leaf" is strictly ambient house
has NOT heard Spooky's Xylem Flow Remix. It gives the song a unique progressive
house beat and a hint of acid, turning the pupa of an ambient house song it used to
be into the butterfly it always wanted to be. The song is, however, progressive
house, due to the fact that the BPM is much slower than that of all classic trance
at the time. But that doesn't stop me from putting it on this list.

43.Humate & Rabbit in the Moon - East (Rabbit In The Moon Opium Den Remix) (1995)
(Classic/Acid Trance)
44.ATB - Dont Stop (X-Cabs Remix) (1998)
(Ibiza Trance)
SO much better than the original. This version rips it away from the oldskool ATB
Ibiza feel (the original sounded like a remix to both "9 PM" and "The Summer") and
shoves it into a more uptempo tropical atmosphere. Drool.

45.Kate Havnenik - Unlike Me (Ost & Kjex Remix) (2006)

(Glitch/Neo Trance/Progressive House)
I ran into this by accident just browsing iTunes. You have to get the 8 minute
version off of Kate Havnevik's EP "Unlike Me." It grows on me more and more
everytime I hear it. It progresses beautifully. The song issues a ballad atmosphere
in the beginning (much like the original version), and by the end it breaks into
something much more danceable, but still keeps the same deep and chilling
sensations. I also love how her voice is obstructed into the rhythm. This is so
much more than just a remix. Strongly recommended by me.

46.Brainchild - Symmetry (C-Mix) (1994)

(Classic Trance)

47.Paragliders - Paraglide (1993)

54.Resistance D - Cosmic Love (1991)

55.Stefan Goldmann - Sleepy Hollow (2006)

(Neo Trance/Microhouse)
56.Rabbit In The Moon - Out of Body Experience (Phase 1 - First Contact) (1994)
(Classic/Acid Trance)

57.Faithless - Drifting Away (The Full Paradiso Remix) (1997)

(Anthem House/Progressive House)
I think this version of the song, at all costs, is put together beautifully.
Starting out as an operatic ballad, the song progresses slowly for about a minute
and a half, when suddenly the pounding piano anthem seers into the picture. The
song altogether is quite progressive, and indeed very soothing.

58.The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (1990)

(Ambient House)

59.Torley Wong - Xristophan (2005)

(Ambient Breaks?)
Formerly and (unfortunately) more commonly known (to the music THIEVES!) as "Robert
Miles vs. Aphex Twin - Rare Duet." Mysterious error solved.

60.Cosmic Baby - Magic Cubes (1992)

(Classic Trance)

61.Petter - Some Polyphony (James Holden Remix) (2006)

(Minimal/Neo Trance)

62.Jonas Steur - Silent Waves (2004)

(Epic Trance)

63.Telepopmusik - Breathe (Original Album Version) (2001)

(Post Progressive Trance/Ambient Trance)
Alot of people probably acquire shock seeing this song so high on a trance list,
but I find it to be one of the most soothing ambient pop songs out there, therefore
making it one of my close favorites.

64.Banco De Gaia - Heliopolis (1993)

(Ambient/Classic/Acid Trance)

65.Holden & Thompson - Come to Me (Original Mix\) (2005)

69.Spicelab - We Got Spice (Spicelab Full Flavour Mix) (1994)
(Acid Trance)

70.Cybordelics - Adventures of Dama (1993)

(Classic Trance)

71.L.S.G. - Fragile (1994)

(Classic Trance)
Much similar content to L.S.G.'s "Hearts," and may even put on a similar feel in
being both euphoric and spaceous, but I think "Hearts" is a much MUCH better track.

72.Paul Van Dyk - My World (1994)

(Classic/Epic Trance)
Okay, I need some help classifying this one. "For An Angel" was produced in 1994 as
well, a time when classic trance was huge, but has a sound that epic trance
produces. Epic and classic are two complete ends of a spectrum, yet this one seems
to hit both areas, perhaps it just fits in both.

73.Underworld - Dark Train (1994)

(Classic Trance)

74.Commander Tom - Are Am Eye? (1995)

(Classic/Hard Trance)
Classic trance = trippy space music? I feel as if I'm being attacked by aliens when
listening to this song. Aaaahhhh!!!

75.Astral Projection - Mahadeva (1995)

(Goa Trance)

76.Zyon - No Fate (No Fate Edit) (1992)

(Classic Trance)
There's also a "Struggle Continues Mix" to this song, which puts it at a much
slower tempo, (that being the most significant alteration between the two song
versions) and I personally don't like it as much, due to the fact that the slower
pace makes it sound alot more like dream trance (yes, the main melody of this song
is piano). The No Fate Edit version is much faster, and the style is much crisper
and has a mood to fit most classic trance, although shorter.

77.Push - Strange World (1999)

(Anthem Trance)

78.Way Out West - Mindcircus (Gabriel & Dresden Remix) (2002)

(Post Progressive Trance)
Nothing like the original version. Gabriel & Dresden transform this progressive
breakbeat song into a haunting ghostlike reconstruction. The main piano melody that
primarily makes the song recognizable is morphed into an acidic disoriented piano
hybrid noise. I personally recommend this version over the original, although the
original is still quite delightful.

82.Cass & Slide - Perception (New Vocal Mix) (2000)

(Vocal Trance)

83.Binary Finary - 1998 (Paul Van Dyk Remix) (1997)

(Anthem Trance)
This is what it sounds like when eurotrance kicks you in the face with millions of
layers of acid. ;] CORRECTION: Just kidding. It's just millions of synths, with an
acid bassline, corrupting the whole piece to make it all sound like acid, which is
still cool sounding.

99.DJ Tiesto - Sparkles (Transa Remix) (1999)

(Anthem Trance)
AMAZING remix compared to the original song. The original song did near to nothing
for me. The anthem all in all is basic, but quite powerful and hypnotic, much MUCH
more than the original version, thus me ranking this so high.

159.Talla 2XLC - Eternal Mystery (1997)

(Progressive Trance)
The beginning of this song creeps me out more than any other (non-ambient) song
I've ever listened to. Those first few measures are like a ghostly music aura you'd
hear resognating in a massive haunted catacomb, and you're the only one there who's
mind it flows through. It's seriouly the creepiest trance melody I've heard.

(Ibiza Trance)

161.Andy Ling - Fixation (1999)

(Progressive Trance)
162.Biosphere - Baby Interphase (1995)
(Ambient House/Techno)
This song shouldn't even be on a trance list, because it's hardly uplifting. I
think the uplift is replaced with this creepy spine-tingle feeling. But I put it on
none-the-less because I seem to be putting all ambient dance genres on here, and
it's definitely a spacey trip. This is like the backround music to Psycho thrillers
or wierd scientific movies like Pi, or those creepy biology educational videos you
were obligated to watch in high school...

168.Mike Koglin - The Silence (Tekara Remix) (1998)

(Breaktrance)
Okay, so obviously this isn't an original work of art. It's basis is off of the
Depeche Mode trance predessor "Enjoy the Silence." That would make this song some
better form of Epic House. But I can't help but enjoy listening to this version-
Matt Darey completely transforms this epic piece into a progressive masterpiece.
The buildup from almost no sound at all is bone chilling.

173.Delerium feat. Sarah Mclachlan - Silence (Airscape Remix) (1998)
(Epic Trance)
I don't for the life of me understand why this song gets as much hype as it does.
As a trance song, it's nothing terribly special. At. All. BUT- I put my foot down
on this- this is the ONLY remix I will put on this list. It's the only remix worth
putting on this list. The DJ Tiesto remix is horrid. No one could possibly convince
me otherwise. Yawn. I mean really. Yawn. The best version of this song will always
be the original version. But I can't put that on this list, it's not trance. The
Airscape Version is passable and tolerable though, the inserted arpeggio-like
melodies are pretty bomb.

Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" scored huge in the remix department. It seems
everyone wanted a piece of it. Not many remixes were that well thought out though.
But a couple still managed to sneak onto this list, through a generous amount of
like-age from yours truly. EnMass (R.B. & E.T.) do a great job blending her anti-
tempo lyrics into a progressive anthem.

I'd have placed this song up much higher, but the beginning synth progression is
questionable and edgy in a way that alters the 4/4 beat when listened to. I
personally didn't like the beginning melodic touch...

house songs on here I decided to put this one on as well.

while his passengers sleep,

the bus driver watches dawn
break

by the lawn's edge,

the dog barks at the darkness
then looks back at me

dead end
a few leaves circle
in the headlights

late at night
a woman alone in the restaurant
addressing christmas cards

snowy morning
the barber appears
in his mirrors

moonrise
the columbine still
swinging

changing pitchers
the base-runner looks up
at a passing cloud

in the subway
the young conductor cues
imaginary oboes

climbing the stairs

more slowly
autumn evening

the frozen puddle

kids slide over a pattern
of red leaves

snow drifts
above the bear's den
starry night

cold spring rain

a piece of grass sticks out of the birdhouse

Frogpond XIV:2

Up in the sky
hardly heard, hardly seen:

sundawn
a flutter of mourning doves,
& poised, light-bathed, one faun
nearby, a bell tolls changes

mapletree buds,
their small shadows
in water-glazed mud
nearby, a bell tolls changes

white lilac
fragrantly exuberant
beside the porchdeck
nearby, a bell tolls changes

putting down a book

to listen to the god
in the half-cleared brook
nearby, a bell tolls changes

high noon
straight-up trunks of poplars shadowless
a foreshadowing ... soon, soon?
nearby, a bell tolls changes

watching a program
on Brazils rain forests,
anger poisons calm
nearby, a bell tolls changes

on the grass
two pitched-from-a-car beer cans.
unthinking ass!
nearby, a bell tolls changes

a cardinal's song
blends with the brilliant sunset.
surely, nothing's wrong?
nearby, a bell tolls changes

cicadas at dusk
seventeen years hence, shall we see
substance or husk?
nearby, a bell tolls changes

in moonlight
swish of owl wings, this heartstab:
glitter can gloss blight
nearby, a bell tolls changes

How many dew drops make up these walls?

On razor wire
squats a crow
winter night

The guards in their towers:

silk worms in cocoons of light

Black-uniformed winter fly

greeting me
behind bullet-proof glass

Walls of ice
deep in forests
frozen frogponds

My silver shackles
gossamer threads
under these stars

Old guard escorting me

coughing like bullfrog
cigarette smoke for breath

Prison cat in shadows

stalking the shaft of searchlight

Capturing snowflake fireflies with my tongue

Beating time with nightstick,

cricket sound
while I urinate

Oh, winter moon,

what have you done now
keep-locked with the mountains?

A thousand temple bells

the noise of the cell block
Suddenly they all look like green bullfrogs!

Decorating my cell again

I notice roommate

From out of Hendersons Haiku,

chocolate squares
oh, it's a lonely beginning
this first night of return
to Japan

under this Basholess

how rough
the angle of loneliness

bent
like a puzzle
in a child's hand,
that back before me
in the pre-dawn dark

is it a walking
umbrella?
immense the black
over that bent-against-the-wind
angle of loneliness

a crane
skipping before me
on this seaside road,
its leg
a karate lift?

I hug
the boy to me
how brave he was to point and say
This is a pencil
This is a cup

on my office couch
I lean back,
back,
this Nescafe's

late-afternoon life

A red shaft of light
dances on your moist eyelids:
the searing morning.

II
Frog Mountain rises
to arch its back in the clouds:
unforeseen downpour.

III
Three men and three birds
stand still in the forest, all
surprised by rain.

IV
Rain like the Deluge:
a mudspattered Apache
sings in Cibecue.

The day hides itself
within a grove of aspen.
Thunder pursues it.
