Excellent! The Thrillseekers have also issued a remix of Chicane's Halcyon. This is the long version on Future Sound of Egypt. And it's different and updated enough to belong in this thread, I think.

Terrific stuff, all of it

Sometimes I just need the good old uplifting trance.

But it is worth mentioning that "Anahera" (the title of Ferry Corsten song) translates as something like "why, for the fvck sake?" from Russian. I'm sure Corsten doesn't know Russian but I couldn't help myself lolling cause the song itself is so utterly sublime.

My contribution

Know this doesn't qualify as last few years release, but hey.

I listened to that yesterday in ASOT #792, which was pretty good actually, after i haven't listened to it for a long time now, because it just went too pop and EDM for me. Great track, and a nice mix too, i was happily surprised that Armin seems to be back to the roots a bit now.

Can, as usual, listen to it on his site, and on Youtube too.

I'm cherishing a hope that now, when EDM is all over the place and trance is no more mainstream, it will return to being actually trance

@ Zexila: that's proper stuff!

Yeah, even though it pretty much appeared to me that acts like Armin, and the other DJ's in ASOT, were into making the whole thing more mainstream basically. Obviously, there always have been many people complaining about the development on the net, and elsewhere, so, maybe that was a reason to step back a little, when you realize that there's still people who are into the "old" stuff.

Old Armin's stuff was golden

Then the priorities changed, the audience changed, everything changed

Yep.

I don't know, there was something about his music choice and preference that simply was better than other's.

Astrix latest release "He.Art".
I'm not really sure if it's still "full on", it sounds for me sometimes more like psychedelic trance.

Nice.

Just Discog'd that, and, obviously, it's Lange under an alias, so, no surprise the stuff is good.

Yes, it's Stuart Langelaan. Not to mention that he made this stuff 2003. Great trance DJ.

If it's good trance and someone might not have heard it yet, I'd say it's a good candidate for this thread. I look forward to listening to all the new contributions.

I used to like ASOT but went over to listening almost exclusively to Solarstone's Pure Trance Radio as it's the closest thing to the best of old-school trance.

This. Definitely this.

Very nice, didn't know that one. Thanks for mentioning.

What do you mean by "modern"... 2005 on?

Modern trance playlist - just the good stuff
