What a great video, thumbs up.. Ferry corsten - sublime (thrilseekers remix) is in my top 5. Dance 2 trance also made history with the early trance signature, also what i discovered is this particular disco, hi-nrg song Woogie Boggie dancing shoes by Claudia Barry (12 inch version) form 1978-79, who have somewhere in the midle a synth solo/bridge that sounds incredible like a trance song, very dreamy, repetitive, with 4/4 beat, snare, hi hats and off beat bass like in a trance song, i was really impressed.
This is such a great video! I think the history of trance has diverged as it began to influence other forms of music like hyperpop and modern trap sub genres
This is gold for me. I remember hearing Gamemaster and I never heard something like that before. It was a complete trip to a real state of Trance and I was hooked. I was just a music listener back then around 1998 and some co-workers introduced me to rave parties, like Cream at Montreal's Olympic stadium was my first one. Now 42 I finaly realised my dream of being able to make a trance song myself using a DAW and MIDI controler. So to hear you telling this history of Trance is really appreciated! It made me subscribe to Sonic Academy. Great content! Keep it up and please make more. Thanks @Bluffmonkey
I think the KLF track is the first trance record, that arpeggio is so wobbly and hypnotic that it seems coming straight from Goa, plus I would also mention JMJ, Tangerine Dream and Manuel Gottsching as roots of the genre as well as minimalist composers like Philippe Glass, Steve Reich, etc...
There are so many tracks/artists that could be mentioned for sure. I see what you're saying about KLF, but I'm still not hearing it. However, having lived through that period and consuming all the new dance music, it's very easy to see now that it was a free for all genre 'love in' and lots of acts were taking lots of other acts as inspiration.
Yeah, also for me sounds like trance technically and musically, somehow hypnotic, psy a lot of reverb on the lead, trance motifs, frequency modulation, hi hats, bassline with delay, etc..
trance has involved into many sub genres like big room trance psytrance progressive and last but not least uplifting trance, uplifting trance or orchestral trance follows the same formular as classical trance from the late 90s and early 2000s but fuse more with classical music and the synth and ambient pads becomes more dynamic and complex example might be tracks from sounemot or SoundLift who takes some classical music for the intro also abora recordings still release alot of trance
trance back then was more closely and related with techno and slowly transformed in its own genre also what i feel is trance was invented through technological advancement like polyphonic and multi saw synthesizer

Chicane - Saltwater is my personal best journey with music I ever had. Always have goosebumps when I listen to it. Pure perfection.
Offshore or power circle 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 salt water was decent also

I am gonna write some trance. This is my guy.
I'm not that much into trance, but that history part was very interesting.
You worked for someone 217 years ago? I knew it! You are a witcher! o.O

How can I love 90’s trance so much if I was not even born?
i actually still use a pair of adat as converters...
Not surprised. These things were proper pro grade converters.
Geez 🙄
