Techno/Trance CD Recommendations

Recommended Posts

I used to listen to old techno back in the hayday of Limelight. Songs like "Dominator" and "Injected with a Poison" were some of my favorites. I got out of the techno scene and hit the Korean club scene for a while... until a trip to LA about 6 months ago brought my renewed interest in techno/trance. A few of my friends had tried to get me into trance music, I'd been to Twilo and Exit a few times, but until I hit the club in LA (it was also my first E experience), I just couldn't get into it - coincidnece???

But now that I'm hooked (on the music/Twilo, not E - still only did it once...) I'd like to give my 2 cents on some of my favorite CD's. I know it's just a relatively newcomer's opininion, but when I first tried to get my hands on some music that were found in the clubs, I found my self lost in an ocean of choices. I didn't know which CDs/Artists were "good." What I mean by that is, that most DJ's are all very talented, but I just couldn't figure out which ones suited my personal tastes and would really get me grooving. Even when you figure out which artists are "good," even they have good CDs and not so good CD's.

To get to the point, I would like to give a refound lover of techno/trance musics list of current favorite CDs for those who may be new as well and trying to wade through the plethora of trance CDs out there (good and garbage). I also like the cool live sets of artists like PVD on Napster too.

1) Out There and Back - Paul van Dyk

2) GU: Live in Oslo - Paul Oakenfold

3) Tranceport 3 - Sandra Collins

4) Tranceport - Paul Oakenfold

5) Live at Crowbar - Carl Cox

My favorite is PVD, especially live. I would also like to get the board's opinion on other good CD's from your favorite artistts so that I can broaden my experience with other DJ's and their CD's so listing your favorite CD's will also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! cwm9.gif

I appreciate your reply. I would guess that most of your recommendations are from Napster. Can you separate the CDs from a record store and the ones from Napster.

Thanks!
