I found a place to download--free!--several very engaging mixes of some of the best vocal trance I've heard. Check it out, if you're into this kind of music, you'll definitely enjoy these. See you at a rave soon!</P> <P><A href="http://www.generationtrance.com/" mce_href="http://www.generationtrance.com/">http://www.generationtrance.com</A></P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1447036" width="1" height="1">musichttp://blogs.technet.com/steriley/archive/2005/11/08/My-music.aspxTue, 08 Nov 2005 20:37:00 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:413997Steve Riley5http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/comments/413997.aspxhttp://blogs.technet.com/steriley/commentrss.aspx?PostID=413997http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=413997<P>Those of you who've seen me speak at various events know that I like to play my own music before the presentations begin. In industry parlance, this is called "walk-in music." My experience, though, is that many times the music they provide is better described as "walk-in, lie down, and go night-night music"! Think about it: a romantically&nbsp;darkened room,&nbsp;often with the&nbsp;temperature set a&nbsp;bit too&nbsp;warm, a stomach full of lunch (sure, it's conference food, but it's fuel)...</P> <P>So I bring my own music. Yeah, it's trance music straight out of some of the biggest clubs in the world. But it works! It keeps people awake, energizes them, and is interesting to listen to. Because many of you seem curious about the music, here's a sampling.</P> <UL> <LI><STRONG>Chicane: Live from Palladium</STRONG><BR>you can get this and many other wonderful mixes from <A class="" href="http://www.tranceaddict.com/livesets.html" target=_blank mce_href="http://www.tranceaddict.com/livesets.html">Trance Addict</A> <LI><STRONG>Talla 2XLC: Live at Technoclub SSL</STRONG><BR>also from <A class="" href="http://www.tranceaddict.com/livesets.html" target=_blank mce_href="http://www.tranceaddict.com/livesets.html">Trance Addict</A> <LI><STRONG>Angels of Trance<BR></STRONG>an album of female vocal trance, wonderful stuff <LI><STRONG>Epic Trance Ascension<BR></STRONG>ethereral and melodic trance hits <LI><STRONG>Hands to Heaven<BR></STRONG>an album full&nbsp;anthems that always gets the dance floor moving <LI><STRONG>House Trancemissions vol. 1<BR></STRONG>my first electronic music purchase; fascinating blend of trance and house with soaring melodies and vocals <LI><STRONG>Trance 'n' Bass<BR></STRONG>interesting blend of trance and drum-and-bass; on the heavy side <LI><STRONG>4 Strings: Believe</STRONG><BR>good collection of anthems by one of the better trance artists</LI></UL><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=413997" width="1" height="1">conferences and seminarsTechEdmusic
