25 All Time Greatest Trance Songs

By:


Legend has it that it was in Germany where the seeds of trance music were first sown during the nineties. An invigorating genre of electronic music called trance came into prominence and was at once categorized as the next best thing in music by its local audience.

A famous electronic music composer from Germany called Klaus Schulze was accredited with laying the foundation of this new and refreshing genre of music. In fact, the name trance is said to have been derived from the 14th album of Schulze called Trancefer. The album was an instant hit and showcased a mix of percussion and chords using Schulzes Yamaha synthesizer.

Trance songs are best characterized with the help of the following features:

Tempo in the range of 125 and 150 bpm or beats per minute is what typifies a trance song.
A significant attribute of a trance musical composition is the widespread use of melodic synthesizer phrases. Frequent build up and break down all the way through the track is only evident in trance songs.
Synth melodies are extensively used in trance music.
One main tune forms the basis of a trance track.
Restrained use of series of cord tones (arpeggiated) along with gated synthesizer riffs makes a trance song standout.

Legal download of trance music is now made possible because of a host of music websites on the internet. With just a click of a mouse you can now gain access to some of the most renowned trance artists like Armin van Burren, Tiesto, Gareth Emery, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corstern, Paul van Dyk and Dash Berlin.
