What a mould of garage genres in True! You've got late 90s speed garage, early noughties 2-step and even the beginnings of late noughties 'bassline' garage there - this could have easily still been a hit in 2008. This is surely the last garage dance #1 until Heartbroken, unless I'm missing anything obvious.
Complete is less interesting, an early example of a dull pop track with some vaguely D&B drums half-heartedly thrown over the top to give it some edge - something extremely common place a decade later, though I realise I'll probably be completely alone with that opinion as it was definitely a popular song. |

True is massively ahead of its time, rapped female vocals, a bassline similar to bassline garage hits in 2007-8.
This is one of the few songs on this thread so far which would have a good chance of being a hit if it was only released now. For the next song I will get myself some nice potato vries to eat while reading the entry. |

'Take Control' has always been the favourite of mine!

Complete is easily their best, that song was magical and of my favorite songs of the year. Reminds me of the hot 2003 summer

QUOTE(Euphorique @ Sep 21 2016, 07:25 PM)  Cant think of a drum & bass song with trance influences tbh. Although I can think of a song that brings together trance and breakbeat. This is probably the closest one I could find, was actually played quite a bit on Radio 1 nighttime at the time but wasn't a hit sadly |

Jurgen Vries feat. CMC - The Opera Song (Brave New World)
 Date 26th Jan 2003 4 Weeks Official Chart Run 3-5-11-16-24-32-39-47-71-x-68-81-x- (11 weeks) We first heard from London trance producer Darren Isaac Tate as part of Angelic, with 90s superstar DJ Judge Jules (DJ Mag #1 1995) and his wife (Amanda O'Riordan). Formed in 1999, the bands first release ‘It’s My Turn’ reached #11 in June 2000, with follow-up singles ‘Can’t Keep Me Silent (#12, Feb 2001) and ‘Stay With Me (#36, Nov 2001) completing a hat-trick of top40 smashes before Jules and Tate parted company to pursue solo projects. Orion was one of the first of Tate’s solo projects, under a multitude of nom de plume, with ‘Eternity’ landing at #38 in October 2000. ‘The Journey’ as Citizen Cained peaked at #41 in April 2001. Tate began using the Jurgen Vries pseudonym during 2002 with the release of ‘The Theme’ (#13, Sep 2002), however it was with ‘The Opera Song (Brave New World)’ that he secured the biggest hit of his career. Featuring the vocal talents of classical singer/soprano Charlotte Church, whose rise to fame started at the tender age of 11 after a performance on ‘This Morning’ in 1997. She’s credited here as CMC as her record company was petrified of her first foray outside of classical being perceived as a flop by the press. ‘The Opera Song (Brave New World)’ allayed all fears by sprinting into the chart at #3 in January 2003. While it is Darren Tate’s only top10 hit, Charlotte Church enjoyed brief success as a pop star in 2005 with ‘Crazy Chick’ reaching #2. Tate enjoyed a further two top40 successes under Jurgen Vries guise with ‘Wilderness’ (feat. Shena) [#20, Oct 2003] and ‘Take My Hand’ (feat. Andrea Britton) [#23, Jun 2004]. However the story doesn’t end there... next came the DT8 Project spawning another 3 top40 hits: ‘Destination’ (feat. Roxanne Wilde) [#23, May 2003], ‘The Sun Is Shining (Down On Me)’ [#17, Aug 2004] and ‘Winter’ (feat. Andrea Britton) [#35, Mar 2005]. |

An epic tune with plenty of emotion especially in the opera singing. I lobe the atmosphere of this one, it is better than The Theme imo, although I do like Take My Hand for the sole reason that it is one of the last trance records (but not one of the last eurotrance ones) to make the charts. Don't remember this from the time sadly (I may have liked it back then it isn't that hard in terms of dance music)
Trance is classically influenced anyway so it is apt. There was, between the disco house songs using strings like Salsoul Nugget and the mid 00s ones and orchestral influenced trance, much more classical influence in dance music in the early and mid 00s than the 10s, and I think orchestral influenced dance music sounds more dramatic, which I like. I didn't know CMC referred to Charlotte Church or that she was on the track. Crazy Chick doesn't appear on this thread as there is not much of a dance beat to it but the rest of the production is very Shapeshifters style (as are many dance songs from this period) This post has been edited by TheSnake: Oct 16 2016, 09:57 PM |

I always thought Jurgen Vries was German becuase of the name, its like Dave Lee and his confusingly Spanish sounding pseudonym Joey Negro.

Loved this one, I actually thought it would be #1, but was shocked to see it was only #2 in the midweeks. Eventually it fell to #3. I think they held it back too long, it was A-listed on Radio 1 for several weeks before its release, even back in 2002.
It really was the beginning of the end for trance chart hits. This post has been edited by Euphorique: Oct 17 2016, 04:04 AM |

Well there is arguably a trance chart hit in 2008 that makes this thread. |

Utterly perfect. This surely had #1 all over it - big, epic production while still sounding poppy enough for radio play, your by-now-standard cartoon video for Box airplay, the "Is that Charlotte Church?!" angle for the media and potential talking point...and then the album 'Now Dance 2003', released October 2002, ruins everything by putting an early version of the track on the album three months before its release, meaning a ton of potential buyers already had a version of the song. The album was number 1 on the UK Compilations Chart too, so that's at least a few thousand sales lost because of that odd screwup. Not that it hurt Spiller when Now 46 put Groovejet on there early, but that did end up being part of a massive chart battle and illegal mp3s were way bigger by '03.
(The version on the Now album was by 'Alphaland', which discogs tell me is also Jurgen/Darren but under another alias. Not sure if the vocals were by Charlotte on that mix but they sounded seriously similar and it's hard to tell the difference). Amazing track but oddly sad to listen to with the knowledge that we're heading to the end of the road for trance hits. |

Yes its like Endorphins by Sub Focus is sad to listen to with the knowledge that it was heading to the end of the road for dubstep in the charts. Interestingly though Endorphins has a lot of trance elements too so could qualify as the last strongly trance influenced song in the charts too. In The Heat Of The Night by Star Pilots in 2009 is quite sad for me to listen to as well as it was the end of the road for retro influenced disco house hits in the charts.

Other dance songs in the chart during the time of Opera Song being number 1 on the dance charts
#8 Excellent deep house tune here, with saxophone too, may have been a hit if it was only released in 2013 or 14. #29 Another eurotrance cover of an 80s song, this is one of the best I think from the late 2001-early 2002 period of eurotrance covers of 80s songs, very atmospheric sounding. |

Love Story is brilliant. Only knew of its existence recently though, it's largely forgotten for a top ten hit.
I like the original more than the Finally mash up that actually did better in the chart too. |

I think trance is not a chart force any more because it too similar to the EDM/eurodance-pop that was around at the start of the 2010s like Chris Brown's Don't Wake Me Up (which sounds somewhat Flip and Fill-like in terms of production), and everyone got bored of the sound. Yes I think I remember the Layo and Bushwacka song, it is better and more interesting, and less flat and dull than 2013-4 deep house for me.

QUOTE It really was the beginning of the end for trance chart hits. I was saying this on the No trance for 10 years thread, but I would say the very end of the 2011 LMFAO and Natalia Kills track Champagne Showers in the music video version (5 minutes onwards in the video) would be trance, or trancepop at least, but I am not sure. If so this would be the last example. Tomorrow I will be doing the next track and its another eurotrance track from Belgium (Belgium seemed to provide a lot of the eurotrance tracks that made the UK charts in the early 2000s). |

Amazing track but oddly sad to listen to with the knowledge that we're heading to the end of the road for trance hits. I can't imagine the Now Dance version would have hampered its sales too much, traditionally and curiously these cases have never really hampered future hits much by appearing on compilations early, or even being given away as free single of the week on iTunes (a few of these later became hits iirc). I'm not sure why exactly it missed #1 though when it seemed destined to be a big one, guess it just didn't connect with the public quite as much as had been anticipated. I absolutely love it though, I have all four of Jurgen's top 40 hits on CD single and this is the best. |
