Do you have to get your trance fix from Instinct or FAX. Why don't you go out when not sleeping and get some trance from other labels, e.g. Rising High... so you can have your 'real' music. Mohsen

All the U.S. Rising High is released on Instinct. I also have a couple of Rising High imports. That's the problem, boy. You have to spend mucho dollars on imports because other than about 2 releases a year, Instinct has all but given up on trance. Just look at the difference between Plug In and Turn on 1 and 2. Get my drift? Good trance is very difficult to get these days. I'll let you know when I wake up, whether anything changes. PS-I'm still looking for GOOD advice. Mistress ov Disappointment

The best thing to do is to stay away(far away) from the Rising High-licensed stuff on Instinct. IMO, They have completely screwed up the label for American listeners You want straightforward trance? There are many labels that come to mind (unfortunately, no too many in 'merika) Rising High, Touche(Belgian), Juice Records(Austrailia), and of course Harthouse/Eye-Q for more of a hypno-acid-trance workout on your ears. For stateside stuff, look to nearly any artist in the Bay area. My faves are Hardkiss Records & groups like God Within, Hawke & others. What is YOUR idea of trance? What machines/sounds do you like? Maybe I could direct you better if I knew that... Derek Jordan

My apologies to Mohsen. I'm a bit crabby today and I shouldn't have been so biting in my comments (I'm also very tired, and as such, didn't read the post as well as I should have taking it as a slam. I think I'm paranoid). Call be a bitch, you won't be the first.. Anyway, I'm just frustrated with the lack of good trance available these days. Is it me, or do I sense a dry spell in terms of good trance? Mistress ov PMS

from following this list I would trust your judgement. I picked these things up with "trance" in the title: - psychotrance - gets good around track 6, its pretty good for several more tracks, then tames down. - psychotrance 2 - I'm still looking for a track that picks me up and takes me to a real good feel peak, can't seem to find it. - trance lunar paradise - by dave angel, although I've read 2 good recommendations for this I've only found a good spot near the end of disc 2, and each disc is just one big track. that doc martin flamable cd has a nice deep sorta slow beat towards the middle that i've just about worn out, but I guess that's more housey. what about some good older trance recommendations that i can add to my collection?

do you have a record player? Reload records, Platupus records, Sabrettes (some techno, some trance), some Peacefrog could be trance... mikebee

You could also try Dragonfly Records or Psy Harmonics. Tay

There is a new Dragonfly comp out "A voyage into Trance", although the review in MixMag wasn't exactly glowing. I have an earlier one on Dragonfly "Order Odonata", which is up for trade/sale if anyones into it. A big fave for me last year was the Emerson/Angel Mixmag live tape, this is now avalable on CD, through mailorder
