These are a couple of tracks that would make my top ten or so. There are some newer songs too that I like but I would have to wait until the novelty factor wore off before deciding whether they will become classics in my mind.

I'm surprised you don't listen to Trance Around the World (Above & Beyond), it's a good weekly show!

Yeah its all good, I didn't think you were being negative. I mean I could probably tell 100 trance fans that song was my favorite and maybe none would agree with me...wouldn't hurt my feelings or anything. Everyone's gonna have their own personal favorites for the year...I was just throwing that one out there as mine I guess.

I've listened to Trance Around the World a few times, yeah. I honestly listen to quite a few radio shows every week, and every show is 2 hours long pretty much, so it's hard to get in everything I'd like. That's definitely a good show too though.

^Gonna check those out

Edit: Just did listen to 'em. All awesome

. The second one especially...the intro was great and had me nodding my head from the very start...then just got better and better. Definitely gonna have to give it a few more listens at least.

From ASoT 433 this week. Nice intro, and then at 2:25 this slow piano melody starts up and it turns this into an amazing tune. I swear I've heard that melody before somewhere. From that point on though, the build up is totally epic. Great, great song.

Good stuff! This track is one of the most gorgeous I've heard in some time. Progressive amazingness

My God I was listening to this as I clicked onto this thread! I agree, it is an absolutely beautiful track!

Progressive uplifting seems to have a more profound effect on me than the usual stuff like Sean Tyas. That's part of why I've really gotten into progressive house lately with stuff like Mango and Shingo Nakamura.

There's quite a few remixes of this song, but I like the original the most.

Also, this was the lead track on ASOT this week, and I have to say that this may have been my favorite show Armin has done this year. Just 2 hours of really solid tracks. It's worth DL'ing and checking out if you missed it.

Edit: I think :55 - 2:00 might be one of the most gorgeous backgrounds I've seen in a trance vid. :P

Trance cover of The Cure - Lovesong from ASoT this week.

I've heard quite a few covers of this song over the years and they never fail just cause the original lyrics are so amazing. Honestly, you could cover this with a cowbell and I'd still dig it probably.

Also, this weeks ASoT episode on the 24th is the 20 top trance songs of the year as voted by the listeners of ASoT. Should be an amazing show to check out.

I'll be sure to check that out at some point^ Not too keen on that remix for some reason and I have no idea why. It just doesn't do anything for me

On a related note (this post reminded me actually as I was having a sneaky listen to ASoT in work), this has been buzzing around for a little while now and every time I hear it, I find it gets stuck in my head for hours... annoyingly so in fact (in a good way ofc)

What on earth is ASoT?
