As you might guess, she's announcing that a train is about to depart. With every passing second, you can feel the atmosphere of a heavy vehicle traveling along the tracks. For seven minutes, you feel like you're on a long journey to an unknown destinatio...

It was released in 1999 on the Bedrock Records label. I think it's the best hit of the British duet. He was presented in the movie "Groove." He never manages to give up the attention of the listener.  Epic trance lovers may like this song because of its melody. The real part is its extension and bre...

Veracocha is the exciting combination of two legendary producers: Ferry Corsten and Vincent De Moor. The two met at a convention.  The track was created in 1998, but was first released on vinyl in 1999 on Deal Records. Of course, it appears in various versions on many record labels. It's one of the most incredible trance tunes ever created. It's the perfect exa...

The CD was released in 1999 by the ID&T label. It starts with the bang of Push's "Universal Nation". You can hear the whistle and chant of the crowd, but when the climax hits the song, the crowd goes wild and you have the same feeling. Then it goes very well with "Out of Darkness" by Fire & Ice. It then flows smoothly into Latin "El Nino" and then "Endless Wave". Tiesto then lowers it a few degrees and this is an incentive to drop the glow sticks and put on the headphones. And for me, this next song sequence is really what makes this albu...

The track was released on vinyl (fourth position) and CD (fifth position) by Magik Muzik.  Euphoria is the feeling that accompanies winning a game or competition. It's a natural state, followed by some kind of success. It can also be a state of intense, unnatural happiness, enthusiasm, and excite...

The latter is a mysterious figure in the electronic music scene. You won't find any pictures of him online. He was Andreas's production partner until around 2001.  He also collaborated with other producers, but one of his most memorable tracks is "Trance Nature" with Talla 2XLC as Richard Cube. The track was released on vinyl in 1996 on the ZYX Music label. Several color versions were created. "Blue Marbled" is in my collection. It features three versions: Floormix, Technoclub Mix, and House Mix.  "Floormix" remains the best version of this release to this day. Its melody captivates with its quality from start to finish...
