You are right, actually.

This is quality Synth Pop-like track. Love these girls! Funny video too. Funny as in weirdly quirky. Some of the solo dancing on top a cliff is brilliant. Dunno if it's a joke or not.

Just went through an old thread on this http://www.happyhardcore.com/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=33268 Almost all of mortis' youtube links are dead. Brought to mind a lot of songs I haven't heard in a long time. Cranberries - Zombie Blind Melon - No Rain. Khe Sahn, should really be Australia's national anthem.
They all remind me of when I was 18 and going schoolies road trip. That day we were driving from Byron to Noosa, stopping in Bris for lunch.

Floyd are epic, I think 'Dark Side Of The Moon' is one of the best Albums ever made.

I just recently picked up the distant worlds album. This track has stood out along with
"Aerith's Theme." Can't get enough of it.
Two years ago I remember when I went to my favorite club and close to the end the DJ played this classic Trance anthem. The club totally freaked out completely - including myself ) and in that moment I probably felt all the emotions as well, that people had experienced when this track was freshly released and they had the joy to listen to it.
In the interest of keeping this thread actually working and not seizing up like an arthritic elephant, can people please just post links and not embed the youtube videos. This is not the most responsive forum the world has seen.
Hard2Get
I actually prefer links anyway to be honest. Embedded youtube vids take up a load of space. You are right to suggest it.
Welcome to our guitar loving sisters and brothers! The statement of my brother-in-law that Techno is the electronical way of Metal sounds is true to my opinion! I'd even add that has been the only way to make Metal dancable.
DJ Hellfury
Feed Me & Crystal Fighters - Love is All I Got
that's the first tune on the radio I actually like a lot and I actually dislike anything our local radio stations play since 10 years or more...

Cabala - Dark Blue is currently coming out the speakers of the stereo in front of me. Oh Lordy its good.
Hard2Get
Flaming June and Dark Blue are amazing tunes. I have only liked Dark Blue in recent years, never used to like it (although i never really used to listen to it properly on the CD that it's on).

I have always assumed male. Likewise don't care. Makes no difference to me.

As a teenager I used to have Wild Gold vol 2 on continuous playback. Primarily cd2 with 3 thrown in occasionally for a bit of cheesy fun. Put cd2 on today for the first time in years. Some of it has aged, some of it still sounds fresh but together it's one tremendous dance cd.

Quite a random selection of tunes there. Mostly 2002 but some 90's bits.
Saw them about a month and a half ago. Properly epic. They did the best show I've seen when I first saw them and they still do the best show I've seen.

I've never seen them, but I've seen the Jilted Generation Tribute Band and they're great.
They get a few booking's at Old Skool events ect.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkzNvDgAOyA - Classical, with a mistake or 2, but it is impossible to find this without it being played at a ridiculous speed (with this exception). No idea why that is. It completely ruins it imo.

Yeah, it's not one i expect anyone to like lol. Apart from Lilley maybe.

Between your description and the sound quality I only let it run for about 5 seconds. Don;t mind a bit of chopin though. Currently I've been trying to re-discover a great cello concerto of vivaldi's that I once knew.
Not bad. The part that annoys me about trance now is that 3:00 to 4:00 is supposed to be the peak. It just isn't. Dark monks did it with insane, but that was totally awesome.
I think I've been finding that lately "electronica" (for lack of a better term) has been the saviour for electronic music of late.
Not into their 80's stuff (as much because i don't really know it as anything else. That and I'm not big on 80's music), but i regularly listen to their 70's album 'Abandoned Luncheonette'. Really good if you like that sound.
Lilley
I'm a sucker for saxaphone. Always have been. By itself it's ok, other instruments trump it by far, but throw a nice riff in a mix and I swoon.
There are reams of 80's music that I love, the "timeless" ones. There are also reams that took everything way too far and they're remembered by the fact that no one knows them.
When i first heard it as a child i didn't really like it. But then i heard it again about a year after completely forgetting about it and really loved it.
Never heard Cold Chisel before, but that is good stuff, particularly the second one. (The second tune) Reminds me a bit of the Eagles type sound. That's a sound i really like actually so it's not too hard for me to like.
Midnight Oil - an australian band generally known for completely pissing everyone off. Well known and loved in Oz, don't know how far they spread. Right up there as one of my favourite australian bands. A selection of their stuff.
Something Random http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DttvXkg_5fY Was going to throw another random pick after that one, but how can you follow it with anything? Would be a dishonour.

Yeah, I'd normally just use youtube but i know no ones going to like it anyway.
I actually don't listen to any King Crimson but did check a couple of tunes out once. Certainly could be something i could get into given the time.
On the subject of Prog Rock:
Quite a few I was surprised about, particularly given the stereotypical tripleJ listener, but there are some good one's there and some that are very Australia focused naturally - I don't know how well Silverchair, Grinspoon or The Whitlams are known internationally for example.

Just discovered this, no idea what genre it's supposed to be but it's good (mostly near the end):
The first time I heard it, I was at a mate's place in the midst of a huge post-rave drugs binge and things were all a little twisted. But listening to it now already gives me this huge sense of comforting nostalgia. Very powerful song in a really understated way. :-)
heard it sometimes recently googled it yesterday. i am as far away from religious shit as someone can be and usually not into classics/oldies nor do i consider me "soft", but play this song and it gives me tears in my eyes if not even i start to cry. scary.
Hard2Get
My dad has an album from this band and i used to listen to it a lot as a kid. It has this song on. Good work for so far being the only person in this entire thread to link to the kind of thing i might link to and listen to myself. It's the kind of 70's Rock you listen to and think 'they really do not make 'em like that any more. As is true for so much of it. I want to say the recorded version is better than the live one you linked to but there is really very little difference.
Although i find the association of the music you listen to and being soft somewhat concerning lol. It means nothing what you listen to no matter what it is. All people like all sorts of things.
Hard2Get
And now my own contribution from the aforementioned album:

probably true. i still was going on about the image tho. paint me a picture of a typical "classic" fan, you probably will have an mid if not old aged white rich guy in smoking, paint me a pic of a "rock" fan and you will give me a younger, mostly black stuff wearing guy having problems with his weight and not knowing anything about hairstyle,.....
oh yeh thats also why i love the (happy)hardcore scene. there is pretty much diversity out there.
Krokussify
my fav Hardtrance tune
Warnman
I really deeply hate Hip-Hop and most of what is called Black Music, but during the switch to such music over here back in over here in 1996/1997 I really liked a lot of the releases which had been released as Eurorap. One of my favorites is C-Block - So Strung Out:
both songs are amazing but skip to 6:00 for the more passionate of the 2 i love the vocals i love the band all their songs are pure poetry especially ones like this
i really wish all scottish people could speak in our native language it's the most beautiful language in the world especially when sung with such passion
Such a fantastic tune. Can't get enough of it, had it on repeat for days! I absolutely love the final breakdown with all those 8-bit-sounding synths and that lovely melody. Seriously good stuff!
Elipton
I'm thoroughly enjoying this tune.
This was of course the premise for the FBI Hardcore track; Future Trance Project by Quattro
I guess this is some sort of Moombahcore or Glitch-hop inspired stuff... Such a fantastic tune! I love the melodies and the vocals! Can't get enough of it!
) and in that moment I probably felt all the emotions as well, that people had experienced when this track was freshly released and they had the joy to listen to it.
