April 8, 200916 yr For me the best years for dance tracks would be between 1993 and 1999. These years saw the brilliant Techno, Hardcore, Rave, and Progressive House. This came mainly from mainland European countries of Germany, Holland, Belgium & Switzerland. Acts such as: 2 Unlimited - Culture Beat - U96 - Scooter - Jam & Spoon - Marusha - DJ Paul Elstak - Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Blumchen - Aquagen - Twenty 4 Seven - Captain Hollywood Project - 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor - Dune - Ice MC - DJ Visage - Future Breeze - Brooklyn Bounce - Mr. President - E-Type - Members Of Mayday - Prince Ital Joe - Mark'oh - Interactive - Intermission - Pharao - Maxx - X-Perience - MoDo - SQ1 - DJ Taucher - Kai Tracid - Blank & Jones - Komakino - Das Modul - DJ Bobo - Haddaway - Imperio - Masterboy - Music Instructor - Red 5 - Squeezer and many more...

April 9, 200916 yr Author Len - Steal My Sunshine omg...i missed that?... that would rate as 'good'. no doubt ive missed several over the years, mainly minor hits.
April 9, 200916 yr 1999 the year of Trance..??? Mate, you're about 7/8 years late on that one... Remember the KLF's "Last Train to TRANCE-central......" :P :lol: :lol: There were also other really good early 90s Trance Techno/Ambient Trance acts such as Future Sound of London, The Drum Club, The Orb, System 7, heck even The Shamen were pretty Trancey with stuff like "Boss Drum", "Move any Mountain", "Hyper-real" and "Re:Evolution".... :rolleyes:

April 9, 200916 yr sometimes i think you just gob off for the sake of it... <_< if you had been following my seriese youd know that the shamen and klf got their just recognition earlier in the 90's... however if you care to actually LOOK at this list of MY favs (not a definitive list) from 99 youll see that theres the greatest numbers of trance tracks in this list then in any other! and whilst they may well have been the originators of the genre, it moved on, youll not find any klf or shamen on any 'best of trance' compilations.... i wonder why? the style evolved and it became most popular 97-02 reaching its chart zenith in 99 when the 'ibeefa' scene was also at its peak (according to my m8 who was a dj in ibeefa 95-01 ) If you ask me, the style actually regressed rather than evolved.... I thought the early 90s stuff was far more challenging and inspiring.... Most of the late 90s early 00s stuff was just cheesy chart fodder as far as I'm concerned, and funnily enough, it was round about this time that I lost interest in "Trance" or mainstream Dance music and became more interested in the underground Industrial Dance/Cyber/EBM stuff coming out of Scandinavia, Germany, etc.... Leaving out The Shamen, KLF and FSOL from Best Of Trance compilations, is, in my view, as ridiculous as a Punk compilation leaving out The Clash or The Sex Pistols or a Metal Compilation leaving out Black Sabbath or Led Zep.....
April 9, 200916 yr sometimes i think you just gob off for the sake of it... <_< Jeez man, and you accuse me of not being able to take a joke...... I'm sorry mate, but speaking as an old "Rave-Head" who was doing the circuit and going to illegal raves back in '90/91, I get extremely amused when I hear about people banging on at how '99 or Y2K was the "Year Of Trance ", like it'd just been invented then.... And all these grotty post Y2K "trance" compilations come out which just airbrush the likes of The Shamen, KLF and others out of the show..... Can you say the word "revisionism"....? :rolleyes:

Same thing's happened with Indusrial and EBM though... So many of the "cyber" kids today think Industrial = Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein or Marilyn Manson, when it actually began in the mid/late-70s with German acts like Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten and Can, and continued through the 80s with Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Pigface, etc, NIN were much later in 89/90.... Similarly with EBM, which, again, the kids believe all began with VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk, when in fact, "Electronic Body Music" was a term first coined by Belgian band Front 242 in the early 80s, and continued in the late 80s with the likes of fellow Belgians Suicide Commando....

April 9, 200916 yr Author ...oh and to cap it all, it looks as if 2000 might have MORE 'trance' hits in it then 99! :lol:

But house music was also doing wonders thanks to Stardust the following year, which reinjected confidence into the old dog. Veracocha "Carte Blanche" is defo up there is my personal list of 99, if I had one.

April 9, 200916 yr 51. Divine Comedy - National express Could never quite get my head around that one - a bit of thoughtful geniusnous or...? Most of the time I tend toward the latter :P And though I've been resisting it for a while, I'm gonna have to say now a big :puke2: to ATB - 9pm Til I Come...almost as bad as Fragma with Toca's Miracle and Wamdue Project's King Of My Castle. I think those were responsible for the beginning of the end for the dominance of dance music.

April 9, 200916 yr Rob , I was a bit bored last night so I quickly checked how many songs from your lists I liked per year & decade and came up with the following analysis. Roughly what I thought, that I would like some of your 1960's, most of your 70's, a lot of your 80's, and not a lot of your 90's, and thats just about how it turned out. Average 1960's 29% High Year 1966 36% Low Year 1960 21% Average 1970's 38% High Year 1978 47% Low Year 1971 21% Average 1980's 39% High Year 1981 46% Low Year 1988 25% Average 1990's 25% High Year 1995 33% Low Year 1992 13% The only surprise was that 1992 was the lowest, I thought it would be 1998 or 1999. B) lol..i like trivia like this! the surprise for me is the recent years, 2000-2005, and how they fared very well beating even the top years from the punk era!. i know i liked 60's, i know i liked 'punk era', but hadnt much idea just how much in comparison to more recnt years.
