Nalin & Kane - Beachball (1996)

(Ibiza Trance)

24.DnTel - (This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan (Superpitcher Kompakt Remix) (20
02)
(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 son
g 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 ti
ngles 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 catastroph
ically different. Evolved until things are serious. And things here are pretty m
uch serious. Except for those spoken lyrics, but hey, they actually get you caug
ht up in the song as well. Also, Lost Tribe released this EP with "Angel" and an
other song included called "My Soul," which is basically the same song except wi
th different lyrics, and an extremely epic piano synth added on top of all of th
e acid. I could take this song or leave it, it's just another good one to be men
tioned.

(Neo Trance)

27.Brainchild - Synfonica (1993)

(Classic Trance)

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

(Acid Trance)

29.Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Stone s 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 atmo
sphere 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? Y
ou 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, a
lthough not nearly as dark and vicious by the end. Still, very beautiful, and we
ll 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 th
is 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 hous
e has NOT heard Spooky's Xylem Flow Remix. It gives the song a unique progressiv
e house beat and a hint of acid, turning the pupa of an ambient house song it us
ed to be into the butterfly it always wanted to be. The song is, however, progre
ssive house, due to the fact that the BPM is much slower than that of all classi
c 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 - Don t Stop (X-Cabs Remix) (1998)
(Ibiza Trance)
SO much better than the original. This version rips it away from the oldskool AT
B 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 v
ersion off of Kate Havnevik's EP "Unlike Me." It grows on me more and more every
time I hear it. It progresses beautifully. The song issues a ballad atmosphere i
n 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 sensat
ions. I also love how her voice is obstructed into the rhythm. This is so much m
ore than just a remix. Strongly recommended by me.

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

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. Sta
rting out as an operatic ballad, the song progresses slowly for about a minute a
nd a half, when suddenly the pounding piano anthem seers into the picture. The s
ong 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 "Rob
ert 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, there
fore 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)

(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 tr
ack.

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 see
ms 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 w
hen 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 sl
ower tempo, (that being the most significant alteration between the two song ver
sions) and I personally don't like it as much, due to the fact that the slower p
ace makes it sound alot more like dream trance (yes, the main melody of this son
g is piano). The No Fate Edit version is much faster, and the style is much cris
per 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 t
hat primarily makes the song recognizable is morphed into an acidic disoriented
piano hybrid noise. I personally recommend this version over the original, altho
ugh the original is still quite delightful.

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, wi
th an acid bassline, corrupting the whole piece to make it all sound like acid,
which is still cool sounding.

AMAZING remix compared to the original song. The original song did near to nothi

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 yo
u'd hear resognating in a massive haunted catacomb, and you're the only one ther
e who's mind it flows through. It's seriouly the creepiest trance melody I've he
ard.

161.Andy Ling - Fixation (1999)

162.Biosphere - Baby Interphase (1995)

(Ambient House/Techno)
This song shouldn't even be on a trance list, because it's hardly uplifting. I t
hink 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 th
rillers 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 som
e better form of Epic House. But I can't help but enjoy listening to this versio
n- Matt Darey completely transforms this epic piece into a progressive masterpie
ce. 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 d
own 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 possibl
y convince me otherwise. Yawn. I mean really. Yawn. The best version of this son
g will always be the original version. But I can't put that on this list, it's n
ot trance. The Airscape Version is passable and tolerable though, the inserted a
rpeggio-like melodies are pretty bomb.

Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" scored huge in the remix department. It seems ever

ut 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

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 per
sonally didn't like the beginning melodic touch...

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
Ion Codrescu
Up in the sky
hardly heard, hardly seen:
migrating birds

Earth Day: Variations with Theme
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 Brazil s 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
a silverfish on my pillow
From out of Henderson s Haiku,
my old wife s photograph:
cells doors automatically locking.

oh, it's a lonely beginning
this first night of return
to Japan
under this Basholess

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
